Two other Literature and Arts B courses, "Jazz" and "Modern Art and Abstraction," were also lotteried because of high student turnouts.
The four Literature and Arts B courses which were lotteried, "Jazz," "Rembrandt," "Monuments of Japan" and "Modern Art and Abstraction," numbered about 1200 students after the lotteries were held.
After lotteries next week, less than half of those who wish to enroll in Literature and Arts B-71, "Jazz: An American Music," and Literature and Arts B-16, "Modern Art and Abstraction," will be able to do so, said Susan W. Lewis, the director of the Core Curriculum.
Andrej Smrekar, head teaching fellow for "Modern Art and Abstraction"--better known as "Spots and Dots"--said only 280 of the approximately 700 students who came to the first meeting Thursday will be allowed to enter.
According to Smrekar, every year Assistant Professor of Fine Arts Anna C. Chave has taught "Modern Art and Abstraction," it has held an enrollment lottery. And Lewis said, "As long as there's been a course in Expressionism or Impressionism, it's been oversubscribed."
