<p>I'm looking for some art departments in California that..</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't foster a competitive atmosphere</li>
<li>Have programs that focus on computing and arts in addition to regular art</li>
<li>More conceptual than technical (more focus on creativity than how it's done)</li>
</ul>
<p>...and which would accept someone with little formal art experience. Can anyone help me out here?</p>
