I
am a junior, majoring in both Fibers and Historic Preservation.
My experience at SCAD has been largely positive. The city
and the surrounding coast is beautiful, and there is lots
to do on the weekends; college events, lectures, film festivals,
the beach. There are seasons that are slower than others,
but overall I am very happy with the activities the
college offers. The educational quality generally improves when you get
into your major courses, some of my foundation professors were
great people and very talented, but lacked when it came
to actual instruction. As I have moved into more specialized
areas of study, the work has become increasingly refined and
challenging. I can't say enough about how great the Fibers
department is—the majority of the professors all are graduates of
Cranbrook, and they are relaxed and open to more challenging
and different work, whether it is fine art or industry-oriented.
I consider the small department to be a sort of
“womb”, where the student is nurtured, pushed, and challenged—but not
to any extreme. The department also has small, but realtively
good facilities, with a Jacquard AVL loom, a screenprinting lab
(which could be improved), and a host of floor looms.
The only thing lacking is a papermaking lab, which is
being worked on. As for Historic Preservation, the course work
can leave a little to be desired—it has not been
consistently challenging and the grading standards are too easy. Some
of the professors are not very good teachers; they are
smart but not focused. However, the hands-on education has been
good so far. Though the academic standards are too loose
and relaxed, the environment in general is very supportive and
fun.
