For Fine Artist or anyone thinking about being a fine artist: You must learn to do the exact academia type of art given while in school. Doing anything to progressive or advanced was frowned upon by several of the art faculty. If you can preserver through the sophmore and junior year it is well worth it for a senior fine artist.

The administation is willing to listen to any suggestions you have. Though, the trustees do fund the computer animation department more willingly. They are making strides to improve this with the addition of old the Sarasota High School becoming additional studio space and a museum/ exhibition space.

Be prepared everyday and come to work. Don't slack off cause you will spend the few days of an art assignment making up for it. Your writing and knowledge of art counts as much as your technical skill here.

Always be freiendly to everyone in your class. You will learn how politicial the critiquing process is. If you can do that the professors will be persuaded by popular opinion to give you good grades.

The first 2 years are busy, busy work that will help you find your way in the later 2 years.

If you go for fine arts go to a cheaper school and get a trade while you do it, Ringling's records department is bad about getting you transcripts when you need them, the career department screwed one of my friends out of an interview by changing the time and not notifying her, another friend also got screwed by being told she couldn't take classes she needed without a prerequisite which she later found out they had let other students do. Some of the teachers are great but the school is to expensive and hard to deal with to make it worth it. Honestly I want my money back

Super Brilliant
It wasn't formal enough. It was wasting my time. I didn't need the integration of my social life into some groupy-concieved, academic bs. I needed individual thinking people, of the staff and of my piers.

The Fine Arts program is here and there and everywhere. It takes steps in the right directions, while many faculty members step upon the others heels. It needs more clarity not to seem hypocritical.
