Art Center College of Design

Decided to take a class here in the evening based on its high reputation. The first day of class was the beginning of ongoing disappointment. The teacher was horribly boring and disliked his teaching ethics and his Cube style art. I should’ve asked for my money back. I felt the counselor misinformed me in what this class had to offer, and told the counselor I was a Fine Art Painter, and with that said, why would he recommend
A class based on shape composition, doesn’t make sense…
The more I think about it the more it makes me mad. The class was almost $ 480 for 7 classes.
Don’t waist your money taking night classes here. Art center is for students who want to learn about product and car design. Digital and graphics design are also good from what I’ve heard.

Solid 10 for the Art Center! I took an Art Center at Night — Intro to Archetype Workshop, which was a two day workshop 12 hours of work time total. Excellent facility with so much type everywhere! Literally hundreds of typefaces in different weights and sizes. Love the campus design. The South Campus on Raymond does not have a cafeteria yet, but I hear they will be getting one soon. Currently they have a few vending machines and water fountains. Bring your own food or snacks, those snacks from the vending machines won’t do much good.
Security runs the place, so I feel pretty good. Art Center has a lot to offer so I will be back soon!

Enjoy coming here for their events. My daughter has attended Art Center at Night and absolutely loves it here. The best place for art and design!

Smaller Campus
great views on roof, computer labs, vending machines, wifi, parking lot. less people

I love the archetype press downstairs at south campus. Also the roof top is a nice spot to hang out. the computer labs are not as crowded. and shout out to SOUTH CAMPUS EQUIPMENT ROOM!
but besides all that, the space is a bit hard to navigate if it’s your first time here. so be sure to show up early if you have a class. also be aware that there’s no cafeteria at this campus so bring your own food.

Fine art departments held the first Supersonic show in this location. (What ever happened to that graduate school exhibition?) I have seen really great environmental design in this space when one of the studios hosted a party here. The illustration department has scholarship installations here also. This building is horrible as a classroom for design or humanities courses because of sound issues.
Daly Genik erred in keeping the mezzanine classrooms open to the ceiling at South Campus because noise from other parts of the building was sometimes disruptive to lectures. My favorite parts of this campus are the basement levels and rooftop garden. The graduate art studios are not accessible to the public (you’ll need a keycard). The vending machines are next to the security office. This structure is also home to Archetype Press, printmaking studio, and the Advertising department’s The Agency.
