Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright This is my second degree so maybe my insight is grounded in that notion: The Academy is truly what you make of it - I am 1.5 years in now ( May 2008) and LOVe what I have learned and am so thankful to have had the experience to learn from TEachers LIke Ruben Deanda, Henry Yan, Chris Canga and Zhaoming Wu! My drawing and painting abilities have just grown so much I can hardly believe it! I recommend the school - especially for students of fine art or illustration insterested in a classical realism focus. Surrounding City: A, Campus Aesthetics: D- Have a Question?

I decided to change my career path and left the academy and I do think I regret that. I did learn a whole lot at that school, both academically and about myself. I mean I can't tell you how much I have learned in such short period of time. The projects were geared to help you gain skills and confidence, and sort of steer you into the right direction and I appreciated that because I'm no true artist but the academy will surely make you feel that you are. The only thing that was a turn off to me was the students. They were kind of snooty and not as friendly as they could have been. But I would totally go back to that school in a heartbeat. I'm actually reconsidering it as I speak. Education Quality: A, Campus Aesthetics: C Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

It is not a school where students go just to "try something different." You need to be willing and able to take advantage of the system, ask about which classes are good to take with which instructors. From my experience in the Illustration department, the faculty are helpful and approachable. Of course they all can't be winners, but you must put in the effort to pick out the bad ones. The technical training for illustration students is excellent, and the best thing the academy has to offer are workshops, essentially free classes for students to attend and practice. There are instructors present to help if needed, but once again, its up to the student to actually attend. While we have some well-equipped facilities, there could be a lot more done in providing the students with tools not usually accessible outside of school. Illustration is taking a more and more digital route, and more computers and tablets at student's disposals is not such an impractical idea. Bottom line, only ambition will get you through this school. There are some really amazing students amidst those mediocre ones, adn those are the ones that should be your competition, because they sure as hell will still be there when you graduate. By the way, if you go to this school, take it on campus. It boggles my mind how people expect to get so much out of an online class, especially concerning the visual arts.
