i want to go to a design school.Because i want to design clothes(make clothes). but i also think i need to learn about business management. And i think i need to go to a university or college to do that. But im an average student so i think i need to go to community college first. But i don’t want to start college at a old age. So i was thinking i can do two things at once. Go to an art institute and take community classes online. But i don’t know if you can do that.
As I know, this site has top listing of such college courses online – schools.iblogger.org
i am in High school now, and would like to attend the art institute of Boston…i would like to know what classes are required to attend this school. Or what classes i need to take and what classes i dont need to take in Highschool. if anyone knows, thanks
Go onto www.collegeboard.com, and type in the name of whatever college you are looking for, and click on the admissions tab, scroll down, and they will have a grid of required classes, standardized test scores, and recommended classes, etc. And any other info you may want to know in other tabs.
I plan to go to the Art Institute of Boston, and I was just wonder where abouts I could find an apartment that’s not too pricy and near the school? Not necessarily a specific apartment but just areas that might be good. K thanks!!!
art institute of Boston is located on Beacon St. in Boston about a block from Kenmore Sq. The most convenient place/closest to the school would be a few blocks west of the school in Brookline. Brookline is a very nice part of town, close to everything and you can access the MBTA right on Beacon St. The only problem is that Brookline is pretty pricey but if you look for apartments west of Coolidge Corner you might find something more in your price range.
You could also consider Allston as an option. Allston/Brighton is just north of Brookline and also accessible by the MBTA but it is a little cheaper than Brookline.
Both trains in Allston and Brookline will take you right to Kenmore Sq. where you can walk over to your school.
check out this map – it’ll help you have an understanding – http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=100713587248246443194.000486167df2efdaf2289&ll=42.34738,-71.121969&spn=0.028292,0.082226&z=14
Did anyone go to or know about the overall cost to go to art institute online?
im guessing it’s the same price as if you were to go learn on campus
Well, I’ve been accepted to the art institute of Atlanta, and since it’s so expensive and I’ll probably be paying off the loans for the rest of my life after I graduate, i was wondering if it’s really worth all of that money? I’m planning on going for the Bachelor’s Degree on Game Art and Design or Media Arts and Animation. Any AiA students want to share? Thanks
There are better animation schools in the Atlanta area. The problem with AI is that it is a for profit school. But you can learn anywhere.
Go in and talk to the teachers and look at their demo reel. If they are good you will be able to see. Hey it is your money. they are working for you.
Another problem with AI is that there are degree crazy. They will take a Masters degree for a teacher over a real animator. So ask to see what they have animated.
I teach at one college with a some times AI insturstor with a Master degree and he has done maybe 2 animations in his whole life while getting his degree. I get his students and I have to re-train them. That is what happens when a piece of paper is more important that skills.
Just make sure that the people teaching you know what they are talking about and have the skills the are paid to teach by seeing their work before you pay the bucks and you should be okay.
The best way to learn to animate is to animate and you don’t have to go to a school to do that.

Im staying near the campus martius park in detroit. Are there any record stores near there in walking distance? Also, would it be too far to walk from campus martius to the detroit art institute?
Welcome to Detroit Coco,
Sorry for the delay in answering your question.
There is Borders Book Store right on Campus Martius. I’m sure they have CDs and whatnot, but if you’re looking for vinyl you’ll need to head up Woodward to Peoples Records. It is about a mile and half from your location, a bit too far to walk; so, I’d suggest a bus or cab.

Here’s a link to a DDOT trip planner:
http://www.detroitmi.gov/Departments/DetroitDepartmentofTransportation/DDOTTripPlanner/tabid/1474/Default.aspx
Keep in mind you should ask for a transfer to continue your trip up Woodward. I believe the fare is $1.75 for a ticket with a transfer. Just hop on the bus at Campus Martius, jump off at Peterboro and use your transfer to continue your ride North.
If you don’t want to ride the bus, a cab ride should cost you bewteen 5 and 10 bucks. MAKE SURE you get a ballpark price before getting in the cab!
Good luck.
Since its conception, art in all of its various forms has been created for the sole purpose of the artist describing for the world his or her personal visions of a person, event, or place. As a result visual works of art leave the viewer with an impression of an extreme emotion. Whether that feeling is joy or the deepest pits of despair, the artist has done their job if something of their reality shows through their work. Painters of all races and ethnic backgrounds can surely relate to the “starving artist” theory. But for black artist the struggle has been a little more intense. Not only in the U.S. as the children of freed slaves, but unfortunately in their mother continent of Africa, Black American artists have faced discrimination and censorship. Fortunately both sets of unique, gifted artists are beginning to see some of the attention and praise they deserve. Black art painting is finally being seen for the huge contribution to history and the art world that it is.
Both sides of the world have produced amazingly gifted artists. In the Western hemisphere there are certain black men and women who paved the way for the African American artists of today. Horace Pippin is one of those men. After an injury in WWI, Pippin discovered his underlying talent for rich, historical painting. While he avoided the unpleasantness of life for a black man in the U.S. during that time period, he did produce black art paintings that spoke volumes to the viewer. His work was displayed in the Museum of modern art in 1938. A less known black artist that contributed to the black art movement in the United STates is Walter Ellison. His most famous work is “Train Station” located in the art institute of Chicago. That painting is an honest look at the difficulties facing black families as they migrated north in the hope of a better future than the south could or would offer. These two exceptional black artists help give hope of recognition to the many gifted black artists that were to follow.
The scenario for artists from and living in Africa is different though. Despite the struggles with racial discrimination and inherent prejudice in the U.S., African artists are faced with even more difficult issues. Apartheid and censorship have long plagued this long suffering group of artists and painters. While expressing their views of the political unrest and unfair treatment, African artists have been subjected to severe punishment and censorship unheard of in the West. Thanks in part to the academic world’s growing interest in the work of the modern black artist, black art painting is receiving more attention and registering in the minds of museum curators and art galleries alike. Most of the credit belongs to the fortitude and artistic expression of the African artists themselves.
From its humble beginning in rock painting to its depictions of slavery, apartheid, and injustice, black fine art is an expression of the feelings and emotions of a diverse, racially unified community of artists. The rest of the world now has the opportunity to see and experience this unique form of painting.
Mr. Moyo Ogundipe has a Bachelors of Arts degree in Fine Art from the University of Ife, Ile-Ife, Nigeria and a Master of Fine Art degree in Painting from The Hoffberger School of Painting, Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, USA.
One of Africa’s most celebrated and renowned contemporary black American artists, Mr. Ogundipe has exhibited extensively in Africa, Europe and the USA. His paintings have been described as hypnotic, colorful and densely patterned.
In 1996, Mr. Ogundipe was awarded the Pollock-Krasner Fellowship. And in 2005 he was invited to become a member of Africobra, an organization founded in the 1960s and whose membership comprises of distinguished African-American artists.

I’m thinking of going to one of these but I’m not really sure which one to go to. I’m leaning more towards going to The art institute but I really haven’t made up my mind.
Yes, I’m in the Chicago area. Columbia college you say? I’ll check that one out.
i’d say the Art Instuitute!!
it would be easier to learn art there!
I am just starting the Admissions @ the art institute and was curious how hard it was to actually get in? I am going for Culinary Arts. I only obtain a GED but have background of working in the kitchen as head cook for many years! Any incite would be greatly appreciated!
The AI chain of schools accepts most applicants. Your GED is completely acceptable, and your work experience is :wow: – seriously, that carries weight.
Community College of Philly, Drexel, and the Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College all offer culinary as a major. Please check those programs as well. The AI chain is so expensive, I’d like you to also look at other options, just so you can compare reputations of programs and costs. Apply to more than one, in fact. See where you get in, see what aid you get, then decide.
I’m currently attending the art institute of San Diego, but am wanting to move to Houston, what would be a good area (safe, not super expensive, but still nice, and decent for a single female to live and go to school) I just dont know what area the school is actually in and what areas are near by. Thanks.
The school is located in the Galleria area which appears to be high class and sophisticated.
