Art colleges…..?

So name all the art colledges in the US that you know of….thanks!

This is not a reasonable question. There are scores of them.

If you want to know about Colleges that give degrees in Fine arts, then go to the guidance dept of your school and look up in the reference books that list colleges according to the degrees they offer. You will find many independent and highly respected schools such as RISD and PCA and many other schools that have departments of fine arts. I think just about every large university, including the state universities, have depts of fine arts.

figure drawng 2 of 2 WWW.CHARCOALANDPENCILDRAWING.COM

figure drawing http://www.charcoalandpencildrawing.com Here, you will find recommended figure drawing schools (both accredited and non-accredited), as well as local groups or uninstructed workshops you may want to attend.

Accredited Art Schools

If you are looking to attend a four year institution and receive a degree, there are many great accredited art schools out there that teach solid foundation of representational art. One must keep in mind though, most art schools doesn’t have a major that is solely focused on representational art, but there still ARE few that do focus solely on those fields. Lyme Academy of Fine Art, in Connecticut, and Laguna College of Art in California being among the few that focuses solely on representational art and offers Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

In most accredited art colleges, the illustration major will study the representational art the most. But you would still need to take a lot of other irrelevant classes such as, lettering, graphic design, computer courses, etc. ,and would need to do a lot of homeworks on those as well. So if you want to just pursue representational art, look for the colleges that is solely based on that field. But mostly all accredited art college have great instructors that teach representational art.

Here you can view our selection of art colleges that teach . We will update as we find more great schools.

Non Accredited Institutions/Classes/Ateliers

If you really wish to just do ONLY drawing, painting, or sculpture without caring about receiving degrees, we recommend that you look into the non-accredited institutions that offer such classes.

These days, the ateliers are very popular for teaching the academic realist style. Most of them use a lot of measuring system, where one would close one eye and learn to measure what you see using such tools as plumb line, or your pencil to try and most accurately put down what you see in front of you onto the paper or canvas. Many of the ateliers today focus on the use of a method called sight size, whereby one would set up their drawing or painting surface so that the subject you are trying to capture and your drawing surface is equal before your eyes. See more about this method here.

But if you are not ineterested in such methods and wish to learn otherwise, there are many great instructors at many institutions teaching varety of different approaches to figure drawing, painting, or sculpture.

Uninstructed Figure Drawing Workshops and Groups

If you are looking for groups or uninstructed workshops where you can just practice and do your charcoal drawings or paintings and have fun without the teachers intrusion, check out these figure drawing groups in your area. THese places are usually fun, mellow and great way to have fun and meet people while honing your crafts of charcoal drawing and pencil drawing.

What are some good art colleges in California?

So far from the list of colleges I’ve collected I hear that best ones are the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia (CalArt), and the Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles are the best.
Are there any more art colleges in California on par with or better than the ones that I’ve listed or are these it?
Thanks in advance.

the only school i don’t see on your list that i know of is the art institute

also i wouldn’t go to the art center. to get in you need to start off with a really bad ass portfolio to get in the school. so far i’ve seen some people’s skills quickly reach a plateau about half way through the course. this wouldn’t be a problem if you weren’t forced to pay every penny you own just to sit through the classes

SCOTLANDS hottest young fashion designers saw their work go on display yesterday at Edinburghs boutique Harvey Nichols store.

In a preview for the Edinburgh College of Arts annual fashion show, models strutted their stuff down the aisles showing off the collections of the Colleges graduating students.

Inspiration for the outfits on show range from British youth culture to the Victorian circus and dreary April showers did not prevent the models from taking to the streets to show off their threads.
