Statistical Analyzer:

KCAI provides great opportunities on many different levels-the departments are so different philosophically and historically it would be a mistake to sum up the school as either good or bad.The school, like many, is also in a transition as older professors are retiring and a new crop of contemporary, energetic young instructors take their place. I majored in Sculpture, and quickly learned that if you just stay sequestered in your department and traditional medium you will miss out on what is going on in contemporary arts.I took painting, new media and inter-disciplinary electives-which really informed my approach. Students do not have to paint in the painting department, it is anything goes as long as it is intelligent, well crafted and conceptually compelling and sound. The same goes for other departments, although Ceramics and Sculpture continue to be quite traditional (i.e. object oriented). The greatest development at KCAI is the 3 year old Interdisciplinary department-it is the most contemporary and cutting edge, students have to apply to get in, they only take a few students each year.They are making great work there, and the head of the department is amazing.The way to get the most out of KCAI is to get out of your department, create as many relationships with instructors as you can, take electives-Instructors teach there not because of the low pay scale but because the students are so amazing-they could make a lot more $$ at a state school.

One other thing, the art history department is exceptional-very diverse and lots of committed, enthusiastic instructors.If you think you just want to do studio and skip art history, DO NOT ENROLL AT KCAI! Go to a state school and let someone who cares come instead. The world does not need any more artists that do not know their predecessors.
