I'm a high school student at Covina High School. I really don't know what the campus there is like but i do want to go to this college because it will help me become a comic artist, a graphic artist. It's the best art school in San Fransisco and i believe it will guide me to become a comic artist like Stan Lee.
looking forward to going here this Fall. The San Francisco Art Institute is a genuine non-profit and you can see that in their spending/finance statistics. funds are used genuinely and not just as a padding for high-ranking member's wallets. You're sure to get a quality education at the oldest art university on the west coast.

A wise man once told me that it doesn?t matter where one is when it comes to achieving their goals, what matters is how much motivation one has. When thinking back to being a high school senior, I put too much weight upon the location of my university. I thought that if I was somewhere different I would know what I wanted to do. Looking back at that stressed out high school senior, I would want to tell her to calm down. I would want to tell her that everything she needs to know is inside of her. When she leaves she will be scared and feel lonely, no matter where she goes. I will tell her that when this happens she should raise her head and never doubt that she is learning. If she needs to leave after a year, it?s okay, as long as she does not act out of fear. I would tell her not too hold too high of expectations and that it?s okay not to know what she wants for a while. Just because she doesn?t have it all figured out does not make her inadequate.
My favorite place on the planet.
Sfai is best known for the fine arts. It's approach to arts education is very conceptual. It is more about learning from doing for oneself rather than copying. Much of the art is very wild and this leaves little room for practicality. Things seem very disconnected from real ociety at times.
(I actually go to the California College of the Arts, but that was not an option) I think the best thing about CCA is the sense of community it inspires in its students. There is a big focus not only on creating a sense of community within departments, but also within the school. There are lots of inter departmental events and lectures, gatherings and community oriented activities available to students as well as room to create new ones.
How hectic living in a place like San Francisco could be, also how expensive paints are. Overall though I love living in the city and the experiences afforded to me by San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.
The most frustrating aspect about The Art Institute is the amount of time we have to learn the material. Each quarter is 11 weeks in length and we attend school all year round, only receiving a three week winter break, three week summer break, one week spring break, and then addictional holiday's such as MLK day and so forth. It's very time crunching and fast paced, so you need to stay focused on your school work in order to keep ahead, because we learn so much in such a short amount of time.
Lovely, kind, intellegent, talented, artistic people.
