9. The figure drawing class involves photographing the model.
8. The "Advanced Studio Studies" class final exam essay has to do with Thomas Kinkade.
7. All the books in the school's art library have the pages featuring nude women ripped out.

| Michelangelo would be flattered. |
6. Your painting instructor wears an apron featuring the torso of Michelangelo's David.

| Minimal Art |
5. The school's art gallery is hosting a show, "Kasimir Malevich: White on White, a Step Beyond." The walls are empty.

| Urinations art |
3. More than one member of the faculty have padlocks on their office doors.
2. The course catalog features a class called: "Fundamental Values in Finger Painting."
And the number ONE way to know your art school isn't among the top ten art schools:
1. The sign outside reads, "Collage of Fine Art."
