OKAY, what would you do if u were in my shoes?
I am really conflicted here. I can choose two different art programs and they both have there strong points and craps, so if it was YOU, which would you choose, based on the pro's and cons of each program?
Summary: Let's say you're currently taking a year off schooling to pimp up your portfolio for scholarships. You'll need to finish class by March 2008, which gives you 9 months to prepare. You can't choose not going to either because you're a lazy bum who won't improve without some pushing D: SO-!
Program 1: (montecito fine arts)
Pro:
very good teachers
very large classrooms
gives you laptop when you complete all the courses
very specialized in 3-D animation (Maya)
speaks chinese so mom can understand
every person you know said that place was really good
Con:
Must take it Mon - Thur (1-6 pm) and Sunday (9 - 4 pm)
IT'S VERY FAR AWAY. 40 minute drive to get there, EVERYDAY D:
Kinda expensive (16,000$)
doesn't spend much time on improving your artistic hand skillz, rather they try to teach you more computer Maya instead and how to 3d animate
And MAYBE EVEN: if father allows, which I DOUBT, I might be able to rent and apartment near there. It'll be like an adorable little mini-college dorm experience! How cute.
Program 2: (vision21)
Pro:
very nearby ( you can walk there! )
you WILL improve artistically (more hand drawings)
helps with scholarships
More one on one kind of teaching
helps more with painting, drawing, and portfolio stuffs.
Con:
very few teachers (who have mediocre teaching skills)
not worth the amount of money spent (15,000)
very small teaching facility
speaks Korean so you feel... very unincluded at times D:
main teacher hasn't even gone into college yet :\ She's really young
I need to make a decision by monday and I'm seriously not sure. I know that if I choose either one I'll probably be crazy busy throughout my summer, but I'll improve lyke whoa! But... yeah. CHOOSE ONE. And tell me why, please D: I'm all indecisive and it's making me all hot and bothered.
