<p>Hello, Carolyn!
It’s been awhile but I had looked at LAC’s with art departments and came across some articles (I’m sorry I don’t have them anymore or the website links). I do remember reading about Temple University and the other was Hollins (but it was a girls school, though maybe that’s changed?). Take a look at their art department websites. It’s too bad she’s not looking at Syracuse since that has a really good art department.</p>
<p>Anyway, back to your question: I would look at the level of the “basics” (drawing, painting, sculpture) since that’s where a student needs a solid foundation. Also, ask if they do figure drawing. That seems to be important.</p>
<p>What schools is she applying to? Is this for next fall?</p>
