    Hi I am currently thinking about doing a course in Fine Art in September in IT Sligo. I do not know much about the course and I was wondering has anyone studied this course and what they think of it. Is it like art at secondary school as it was my favourite subject! Is it a tough course to pass exams in? I have reasonably good skills in art however my art is far from brilliant! Do you think that you have to be an amazing artist before studying it at college???

    Thanks!!

    I would not have responded to this public forum but as the moderator weighed in I feel morally obliged to add my opinion.
    With respect to all concerned - there are many problems with this course. The problems seem to be greater than any of the individual tutors. In fairness there are some great tutors on that course. It would be great to see their ideas taken on board however the balance during my time there was squarely in the negative. This became much worse after the retirement of a key tutor who had been there for a long time. Although I would not phrase it as Steven does - he is for the most part correct in what he says. The lack of action to improve the situation has been particularly frustrating all concerned.
    I recently graduated the 4th year as a mature student. I am also a mother so I am commenting wearing two hats if you like. I would not like my kids to go on this course. If you are a young student with other options then I would go with those alternatives instead.

    No need to cross post. this is totally out of context here now - should only be posted in the discussion thread.. which is here.
