I'd love to hear anyone's experience with the SF Academy of Art
Pre-College program, particularly the film and acting classes. We're
thinking about it for our 16 year old son. Also curious if you used the
resident accommodations at all, and did they seem safe, well-supervised, a
good experience? If you're willing to talk to me further, would you give
your email or phone number? Thank you!

My then 15 /16 year old took classes at the Academy of Art for two
summers. She took figure drawing, sculpture, photography and still
life painting. She thoroughly enjoyed the instruction, getting
around the city on their shuttles and the big show at the end. A
fine program.

I am not familiar with the Academy of Art Pre-College Program, but can
highly recommend the acting classes through A.C.T.' Young Conservatory ...

Has your high-school teen taken any of the Pre-College classes at
the Academy of Art University in SF? I am considering those classes
(such as drawing or painting) for the fall for my daughter and would
like to hear of anyone's experiences. How is the quality of
instruction? Are the students serious about art? Any and all info
would be helpful.
Thanks,
Joan
My daughter took classes there during their summer program several
years ago. Some of the teachers were very good, others were not.You
may want to see if any of the teachers are listed with RATE MY
PROFESSOR.COM.There is also a RATE MY TEACHER.COM website for high
school and junior high teachers that we have used.

My daughter took 3 of the academy of art pre-college classes last
summer. It was a very good experience for her. Though her fellow
students were all in high school, the classes were college level. She
learned a lot and did some interesting work, which was showed off at a
large show at the end of the summer. It was also a good pre-college
experience in that she had to learn to BART into the city, and get
from one class to another via the college's busses. There was no
hand-holding from the college; she felt very grown up.

Re: Artsy camp for 15-year-old granddaughter
If your grandaughter is interested in Art, the
Academy of Art college
offers a Pre-College program in the summer from mid June till the end
of July. You can take up to four classes for around $500. My child
enjoys the college like experience and it will look good on her
college applications too.
