What is a print??? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I really have no clue! ]]> Visual Arts and Film Majors brangelinaaa-292788 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/812665-prints.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/812265-kcai-visit-rest.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:14:05 GMT Forgot to say that the facilities were awesome. Sculpture and foundation areas were large and the fiber dept had a full working kitchen for dyeing fabric/wool, etc. Printmaking had a collection of stones that apparently are hard to come by (sorry, I can't remember what they were called!) Graphic design was in a separate building just a short walk from the main campus which, by the way, was beautiful. D had never seen trees change color (we live in Florida) like that and was amazed. ]]> Visual Arts and Film Majors redbug119-182608 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/812265-kcai-visit-rest.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/812262-most-prestigious-photography-awards-high-school-students.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 01:04:04 GMT Would appreciate some input on this.

They had set out fruit, some breakfast breads, coffee, tea, water, which kept us going until lunch. One of the admissions counselors gave a presentation, followed by a presentation by financial aid, both of which were very informative. Next came the tour. Our tour guide ( a junior) was OK, but didn’t bother to show us the dorms. One person asked about seeing them, and he said, Oh they’re just regular dorm rooms. There were more than one family who wanted to see them, so we asked admissions (thank you Lee!) , and the tour guide took some of us back over to see them. They had one set up as a loft bed, and one of the parents said “I don’t see a ladder, how to you get up to the top, whereby he replied that when he had a loft bed, he just jumped up there like a cat” which got a laugh, but no answer. We also did not see the library or cafeteria, which, in retrospect, I would have liked to see (didn’t think about it at the time). The girls had a different tour guide and said they had a great tour and got to see everything except the library. My D had her portfolio reviewed and that went well - rep said she would have liked more time to look at her sketchbooks, but there was a good crowd of people she still had to get through. Admissions (thank you again Lee!) had set us up with an appointment with the Liberal Arts director (D’s friend wants to major in creative writing, and D may double major in Illustration and CW). Dr. Moore was marvelous, and invited us to sit in on one of her classes that was hosting a visiting poet. After all the appointments, etc, we had lunch in the café – friendly staff and good food. We then went over to the CW class and it had already started. It was packed and the prof saw us peeking in and invited the girls into the classroom, and hubby and I sat in the hall/doorway where we could still see & hear. It was such a great experience for them, they were amazed at how engaged everyone was. The “Midwest-nice” was evident everywhere. We drove a little around the immediate neighborhood which had beautiful architecture, but did not get a chance to go in either of the museums close by. The next day we went to the Crossroads neighborhood that was funky and cool. Many of the shop owners were familiar with the school and professors and all had nothing but nice things to say. D felt very comfortable with the school and city and looks like KCAI has jumped into a close tie with MCAD. I’ve heard they are more generous than most with merit aid, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed! ]]> Visual Arts and Film Majors redbug119-182608 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/visual-arts-film-majors/812063-kcai-visit.html
