Very expensive, but that's to be expected of an art school. Otherwise, a very inviting environment in the heart of downtown. A great place to start an education, but only if you're truly prepared for the costs. It caught me off guard, and I struggle paying it off.

The Art Academy of Cincinnati isn't perfect, but I wouldn't go anywhere else. One of my priorities is being able to connect with my professors and other people. The Art Academy is a small school, so it's easy to get to know people. Professors are always willing to help students when needed. Most people are willing to make new friends. Art remains AAC's focus, but academics are still taken seriously. My main critique is that I wish there was more effective communication in the financial department. It's the one part of AAC that doesn't operate as effectively as the rest of the school. Information is sometimes relayed with little time to complete financial tasks, and some things don't get through to the financial office. If you can get past this unfortunate detail, it's a wonderful school that I believe many artists could come to love. I encourage people to take tours of the Art Academy of Cincinnati and see if they think it's the right place for them. AAC has had such a positive impact on me and my understanding of what art can be. It is a truly mind changing place.

The Art Academy is a cool school to be in. The students their are hard workers in there own special way. Everyone there are nice to be around and we can relate to each other .The school environment like being at home. I love to see students and teachers works a hanging on the walls of the school. The different perceptive on life is very enjoyable to see. The Art Academy is a place that creative can come to life.

Michkayla

The school isn't that bad. Compared to most it's cheaper than other art colleges. If you're looking to just get your hands in art, or your more of a fine artist this is the school for you. However, if you're wanting to field in something specific like animation, production, illustration in regards to concept art, or even some film stuff I don't recommend this school. The illustration program is mainly filled and taught by people who focus in old comics and children's books. The school also doesn't really have an animation program even though they wave it around like they do. What I mean by that is they don't have the proper class to get the skill, and for the animation classes they do have they have people teaching it who have never worked in that field a day in their life. Like I said, it's a good art school to start, but if you know what kind of artist you want to be and you know what you want to learn, this may not be it.

  9. What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

    The worst thing about my school is its location. My school is located in Over-the-Rhine of Cincinnati. Over-the-Rhine is a really tough community. Fortunately, my school is located in the business district, but our school doesn't encourage us walking around the neighborhood alone or at night. For the most part, I feel really safe going to the school and having secruity available at all times to walk me to me car, I just wish the area would clean up so I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder as I walk to my car.
