I was in Color fall quarter and am now in Drawing (Desma 23). First quarter, I HATED the class and I hated being there. What's most important to know that I didn't know about Vasa's class is that neatness/accuracy are EXTREMELY important. Your lines and squares and colors must be accurate, neat and well-presented; he's very big on presentation. Color and Drawing are not your typical drawing classes: you won't be drawing vases and flowers and nude models. It's really about theory of fundamentals of color and drawing, i.e. percentage of hue/saturation, vanishing point, etc. Only later in the class, at least in Drawing, do you actually apply what you learn from your previous drawing/Illustrator exercises onto an actual drawing. The classes are a bit dry, but Vasa himself is a color/drawing machine and a character in himself. You definitely learn to like him after at least a quarter.

I love Vasa! :)
