Comments on: Newsweek/Daily Beast Ranks CalArts as Nation’s Most ‘Artistic’ College http://blog.calarts.edu/2011/08/30/newsweekdaily-beast-ranks-calarts-as-nations-most-artistic-college/ News from California Institute of the Arts Fri, 17 May 2013 14:27:24 +0000 hourly 1 By: Jim Wiseman http://blog.calarts.edu/2011/08/30/newsweekdaily-beast-ranks-calarts-as-nations-most-artistic-college/comment-page-1/#comment-111540 Jim Wiseman Mon, 25 Feb 2013 23:12:13 +0000 http://blog.calarts.edu/?p=16683#comment-111540 Got my BFA with Nam June Paik and Shuya Abe in video art (synthesizers) at CalArts in 72, MFA 74 at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, video art. That SAIC is not even mentioned is absurd. Stan Brakhage’s lectures on film history there were the best in the country. Granted complete freedom and support. I would place it interchangeably in first place with CalArts. Different experiences, both life molding.

Note: ‘Calarts is a nonprofit educational institution’ – and pretty embattled from the looks of my last visit. Don’t talk trash “.”

The name “Art Center School of Design”…..Get it? Art Center is a shortened description for a DESIGN ACADEMY that poops out more students that enter into the design fields than any other school around L.A., but it is NOT A FINE ART SCHOOL. Arguably, art and design are connected endeavors, but they are soundly different. Art Center grads like to pick on Cal Arts students because no “technique” is taught, per se, at Calarts, but as another commentator pointed out, Calarts is about acting, singing, dancing, film, photography, graphic design, fine art, composing, writing, performance of every kind and THINKING. Compare the portfolios of Art Center and Calarts grads and you’ll see that the AC grads may as well swap their books…they all look the same! The admission fees are both comparable, altho the education is vastly different. Notice that no mention of OTIS was made by anyone…Does anyone wonder why?

Art Center is not the school’s competition; there is no competition.
This list exists no more than just a list, of colleges, out of many, across the nation.
Subjectivity roots through the [read] term ‘artistic’, thus ceasing this list solipsistic.

Decipher wholeheartedly, for you can produce no Other.

Yes,what about Bennington, and Maryland Art Institute and Penn State! Micaela
