So you’re ready for art school, and you’ve got your top pick all sorted out; Art Institute looks great, right? WELL it might seem that way. What you don’t know is that there is a lot of really sketchy things going on behind the scenes, things that have escalated to being as serious as being sued for fraud.
This post was created in collaboration with mernolan. As two artists on opposite sides of the spectrum, we put together information from both the perspective of a student looking to apply to an art school(myself), and from the viewpoint of someone who has already graduated and is working in the industry right now (mernolan). We want to inform prospective students of the dangers of picking Art Institute, as well as arm you with the information you will need in order to pick the school and career path that is right for you as an artist.
There is so much information that I am going to leave it below the cut. PLEASE IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BE AN ART MAJOR, have a look at this. There isn’t just information about AI and their issues, we’ve also included information about how to research schools and find out if a school is right for you! In case you’re not interested in reading, here’s a nice tldr for you; DON’T GO TO AI
So grab a snack and get comfy; you’re in for quite the read.
An old woman sells strawberries in Gaza . 2 February 2015
Those are the most beautiful strawberries I ever seen. I’ve reblogged them before, but I would be head over heels for a basket of strawberries like that.
My tablet has been returned to me.
All files and settings as they were when I sent it off..
*tears of joy*
I can jump back to drawing without the hassle of setting it all up again..
