Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your input.  THis school does not offer a BLA, and the process thus far has been costly (as was expected) and has transplanted me far from home.  Investigating the BLA elsewhere is not a bad idea.

Cheers.

Thanks Craig.  Would be great to learn the basics…form, scale, rhythm before having to produce detailed sketches of the landscape, that use these design principles.(Latest assignment: choose 2 works from 2 of the great masters and reproduce in exact detail in 18×24) Perhaps a BSLA is a better way for me to go. Thanks Again.

Thanks Roland. Time permitting, the graphics courses sound like a good idea.

Hi Jason,  thanks for your insightful response.  I don’t think I have an aversion to the fundamentals of the LA profession, its more along the lines that I don’t have any experience re a design foundation and thought the program would introduce these fundamental design principles.  I enjoy expressing my ideas visually (through photography and what-not), and was hoping to learn how to express them on paper but it seems like a strong art background is a pre-requisite to this program.  On the other hand, I suppose you’re either artistically capable or you’re not.

Thanks again.

If you don’t mind, I’d rather not say.  It is in the south-eastern part of the U.S.

Thank you Craig.  I’ve harbored the dream for many years to practice LA but have allowed life’s realities to stand in the way.  At the age of 50–(yeah…slow learner…..) I’ve decided to take the plunge and will  begin a 3 yr MLA program in Florida in June.  This hasn’t been an easy decision as I will be living 3 hours away from my household and, given the demands of the program, will probably be lucky to make it home for a few days each month.  Even though I appreciate the candor, many of these posts were leading me to second guess my decision.  Thanks for shifting my focus back into gear.
