Ok, I am going to school for Dental Hygiene, but you have to wait awhile to get into the program. So, while I wait I just need to take classes to fill up time so I can still be a full time student. My question is.. I've always wanted to learn to draw and paint. I can not do either. Is it a bad idea to take a general drawing and painting class next semester? Or do I have to have SOME knowledge in how to draw, or is that what I will be learning. I go to a junior college. Thanks for any help!

By all means take the art class. I do not know about now, but medical (also dentistry) students need to be able to draw diagrams to answer examination questions. So if you have found an opportunity utilize it.
On the humour side, I once came across a rave/rant site on the web where a group of dentists had advertised for a web designer. One of their requirements was that the graphic designer should have some knowledge of dentistry. This was a very sore point for the designer who studied fine art...

Depends on the school and the specific class. I suggest you contact someone in the department (A secretary or administrative assistant will usually know) and tell them just what you just told us. You can use it as an elective.
