Fine Arts Schools

There are many fine arts schools to consider when selecting an institution to prepare the student for an artistic career, whether in the technical process of expression or as a performer on the stage or screen. A student may also study in a wide variety of online programs, offering flexibility of time as well as location.

The Academy of Art University, established in 1929 is the largest private art and design school in the United States. This school offers fully accredited AA, BFA and MFA degrees, certificate and pre-college programs and continuing art education courses on campus or online, in twelve majors. The instructors at the Academy of Art work in their fields; the directors direct, the effects instructors work at effects companies and the acting teachers act. The faculty there has the reputation of considering graduates to be colleagues, rather than simply graduating students looking for work.

Film students considering application to fine arts schools in New York City will be interested in the New York Film Academy. Industry professionals such as Steven Spielberg, Susan Sarandon and Kevin Kline have sent their sons and daughters to this film and acting school. The Academy has film school locations all over the world including facilities in New York, Paris, London, Rome and Beijing. This school offers intensive programs with hands-on experience in Filmmaking, Screenwriting, Digital Filmmaking, Computer Animation and Acting For Film. The Academy is unique for boasting bi-coastal campuses in the heart of New York City as well as on the back lot of Universal Studios in Hollywood. They maintain the largest inventory of cameras, lights and editing stations of any of the top film schools in the world.

The Los Angeles Film School is another of the fine arts schools that provides an education in filmmaking by making films. In the initial week of the school’s one year film program, students have a camera in their hands, and by the end of the year they’ll have made more films than most students make in four years. The Los Angeles Film School’s campus is in the heart of Hollywood at 6363 Sunset Boulevard, on the historic corner of Sunset and Vine. The faculty also works in the film industry, teaching cinematography, directing, editing, producing, production design, screenwriting and sound design. The LAFS facilities include the latest in production and post-production technologies.

If studying in London is appealing to a student, the list of fine arts schools considered should definitely include the American InterContinental University at London. The focused areas of study at this institution are in Fashion, Media Production, Visual Communications, Interior Design and Business. Most of this facility’s Bachelor degree programs provide the graduate with two internationally recognized degrees: a British and an American Bachelor’s. Their degrees in Information Technology provide an American degree only. The American InterContinental University’s mission is to provide a culturally diverse and geographically dispersed student body with academic, personal and professional growth for successful careers.

Students pursuing careers supported by diplomas or degrees from fine arts schools have never had a better choice of institutions from which to learn, whether on campus or online.
