Decide if you fall into 1 of 2 art camps. The first, that art is a romantic expressive experience, and the artist is an exalted and detached special being that should be compensated and supported by society-that way they can remain isolated and produce work at will, presented to the world when ever they need validation. The second, is one where the traditional role of the artist is challenged; art is about a conversation with the viewer, and about participation, involvement, and most importantly about questioning where art resides in contemporary contexts. At KCAI, you will find that professors most often choose sides, but there are a few that are in the middle. Sculpture is a bit antiquated; the chair is a hardcore romantic that does not really get contemporary practice, and they just retired their reigning abstract-expressionist hold-over whose mantra is "just make some art, you'll figure it out later!" But even this department is in transition, they are supposed to hire someone new next year. If you like to think about art in terms of of ideas or concepts, find the programs and departments that support that type of art. If you just want to participate in keeping some romantic tradition alive and not question where that tradition sits in these contemporary times, you can find instructors that will support that also.
