im not sure about animation course..u need to ask those who majoring in that..

but maths is imp for sure..haha

Lol no. o.o Whatever science-related subs I learnt back at SPM I didn't use at all.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I can safely tell my teacher that Physics isn't a necessary subs for animation anyway

And...what about maths or add maths? Do you guys use some of those?

Maths need la, basic life knowledge.

But add maths, err. Nah.

damn....
more and more friends thinking to quit TOA, in TOA is it normal to see ur course mate quiting 1 by 1?

too stress?

actually, it's kinda normal. I have a few friends quitting too.

Can I have TOA 2011 tuition fees?

I think you should call up TOA to enquire about this

Yes, but it usually happens around foundation or beginning of major course.

Yea, tell me about it.. my batch has 45 ppl in the beginning. when we graduated, only 5 ppl were left standing=) hahah

Oh wow! So much? I'm in semester 2 foundation. I have a few classmates who quit although they didn't do badly but they simply can't handle the stress, a few who have to be a semester behind cos they failed some subjects and some who changed course. :/

Yea,ours was the most DRAMATIC batch=) alot of ppl from my batch quit becuase they can't take it. i'm not sure about you now, but last time,we were required to hand in 5 pieces of figure drawing per week=) FULL SHADE..hahah,i'm sure you know what i mean. Then again, there are some who quit halfway because the fees were just getting abit too expensive. I nearly quit too because of financial problems, but managed to pull through somehow. Honestly, thinking back, it's not really that hard to do the coursework. It only starts getting stressful when you start piling up your workload and leave everything to the last minute..so yea, do your figures one figure drawing a day ain't going to kill you..hahah

Speaking about figures, I am doing now. But from 4 per week, now it's 2 per week with outlines. As we are in semester 2, we have to draw 4 nudes and 4 imaginary ones. And yes, I'm piling up my work, so it means no sleep tonight cos I sucks in figure

I really owe you guys a thanks for replying my question!

Wow, seeing you guys' comments about your sheer hard work, it must be seriously dreadful to pull through just to do some figures? I think it's time for me to brush it up before college @_@!

omg..u making me scared now..haha..i hope i don fail any subs..*touch wood* but at least i submit ALL the assignments la..

my sem now is 4figures per week with full shading..aiks..next sem gonna same with sueanne d..
i really hope i can enter major asap..although its harder than foundation but at least i no need to face with my pencil sets everyday! haha

its really stressful..every sub in every week have a FEW assignments..so u cant relax/rest..unless u realy do things very fast..for beginners,usuallly we take a longer time to complete assignments..therefore, everyday assignments..try to rest one day and pile up ur assignments and u are dead..
p/s:since the day i enter TOA, max 5hours of sleeping time..yest 1hour.."AWESOME!"

Wah lao, u summore can chat online here while doing figures?haha, yea..i agree tonight is going to be a late night. So what major are you planning on doing?

Well, wouldnt be a bad thing to start practicing. Would really help alot when you cultivate a habit of working on your figure drawings..

Aih, i'm telling you, no matter you major already or going to graduate, you'll be dreaming of holding that grubby 2Bs, 3Bs or even 4Bs pencils. Cause it's going to be a norm that you'll be drawing WEEK after WWEEKK up until the day you graduate..well, just enjoy it while you can. Besides, drawing is what makes us special compared to the other art colleges around=)

yes, one more shading and 8 more nudes to go. oh and manikins.
planning on taking mm

You won't fail as long as you hand up all your assignments, and make sure it is not last minute job. People can tell, don't try to cheat your way through. The lecturers can determine usually how long you spend on an artwork.
