Calling all college art students! general schedule questions...?

So, I'm scheduling my classes for next semester and I'm wanting to schedule 18 semester hours. 9 of these hours include 3 art studios (photography, ceramics, and a design class that is art basics). Then I will have an art history course (blech), an Intro to Art Ed. course, and Intro to Art events.

3 studio courses in one semester would be really tough. I would recommend that you scale it back, or at least cut some other course, so that you are not taking an overload (I assume that 16 hours is a full load at your school). I would expect each of those studio courses to require significant outside class time.
