[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carleton has a required studio art distributional requirement, so they are putting resources into those classes.  I went into the building once when my D was taking a class and wanted to show me the space.  I was super impressed with the facilities, but I have nothing to compare it to since that wasn't something we looked at on tours.  [/quote]
Every liberal arts college has this requirement that isn't open curriculum[/quote]

Actually, I don't know of any other LAC that requires every student to take a studio art class.  There might be some, but I don't know of any.  My other kid at a NESCAC has a few distributional requirements, and there is no art (maybe something in the arts, but art history is very different).   STEM majors at every other colleges aren't required to take sculpture or ceramics, etc.  [/quote]
Literally every other one? You sound like you don’t do your research[/quote]

OK - so educate me.  Here are the requirements for Carleton, Williams, Swarthmore, Bowdoin, Wesleyan and Grinnell.  None of these schools are open curriculum and Carleton is the only one with an explicit studio art requirement.  As I said, there may other schools that do have this requirement, and perhaps I am not seeing it if it's called something else, but I have a student at one of these and it is most definitely NOT required.

I see that Carleton has an art requirement but not specifically studio art—where are you seeing that?[/quote]
