mission renaissance feed back ?!?!

[zenmaster]

hey guys,
good day to u all

i just visited a school called Mission: Renaissance.
they teach techniques used by the masters. They say that they were able to reach a good level program and it compares to great school like Art Center, Academy of art college...

i attended there first free lesson, which last an hour. The only inconvenience I tought of, if you already know very well the basics like line and persperctive and you think that you are ready to go to tones, well, i think, so i am not certain of this, you have to do all the basic again which, it think is, 15 class at 50 $ a class (that's how it is in Canada) !!!!

any one want there ?? i would like some feedback ?
seems a good school tho, i would go except for that inconvenience !!!

i cant judge anything about the quality of the school but one thing that was odd is that there isn't a single picture on the school's website.

true, it thought so too but i had the chance to drop by during a class period and the work the students were good. Every had their own easels and doing the work needed to be done, for exemple, depending on the course, some were doing still life, master study or their own comosition. The equipment i thought was good since their is nothing like it in my city.

Heya.
I'm an art student of theirs for going on three years.

Basically, you have to ask yourself what you're going there for. Do you want to learn to draw and paint basically anything accurately? Are you interested in learning tone, value, color, and various painting methods in depth? If your creativity is chomping at the bit, and you cannot afford to waste your time truly learning, don't bother.

Mission: Renaissance is very systematic, working where everything you do builds up on your previous knowledge. For that reason, it's almost essential to begin at the beginning.

It may not seem like it, but even if you do think you know a great deal about one particular area, it'd surprise you how much else there is.

The whole system relies heavily off of practice, and of constant use of the skills you learn. The reason most people find it helpful is because it's a very warm environment, and encourages constant progress.

If you're willing to dish out the bucks, then it's great. If not, I'm sure there are probably other art schools out there to suit your needs.
