Oh.....I see. So, in your opinion, which of the previously mentioned would be the top choices for going into art? (I tend to be such a slow deviating bastard sometimes though.....too much paperwork would definitely kill me.)
I'm a NSCAD student and I want to major in Sculpture. The thing is, NSCAD does not have any other majors in Fine Arts except for the Major in Fine Arts itself. By the end of the '08 school year I'll be done with all of the sculpture programs here because they basically have only 3 courses for sculpture. But I've never been to Toronto and don't' really know if I should transfer there or not. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
To all those who contacted me and are applying to OCAD, good luck! Also, I'm trying to put a group of GD people together to create a map made specificallt for new students. Stay tuned, will let you know the link as soon as it is done. I fanyone has anymore questions, feel free to contact me; I'm going ot be extremely busy this month, but I'll try to get back to everyone. Stay positive, stay creative.
@ramitillo It's not bull shit at all, without creativity we wouldn't have anything. Someone always has to think up a way to do something different in order to improve it.
you got it, but they (the judges) want to see that you are right for the program you are applying for.. not just to see if you are creative. Don't try to impress them by bringing in big works, (and in the presentation day dont panic when you see people carrying huge canvases, the judges arent impressed by that) Frankly I saw people carriying huge portfolio bags 30"x30" .. all i had was 15 of my works on letter size in a plain folder, and they loved it. I got accepted twice actually.. lol
Oh yeah, I live relatively closer to York U.......are their art courses any good? I don't even know HOW to get to Ryerson....but since you said 'out-going' for OCAD...welll...uh....*GULP*. But I live farther from OCAD and Sheridan's even farther....damn. It's a thin choice between York U. and OCAD.....
I WILL LIKE TO KNOW: i AM ON THE VERGE OF going to art school but dont know which one: simply want the best one whos gonna teach all the techniques of paintings that it is to learn. dont care about the history of painting as i already read about it. ANYONE AS TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT OCAD LEARNING TOOLS ON PAINTING PROCESS? Is there a big difference if i go to OCAD instead of Emily Carr? I tough about OCAD plus the Realistic School in the evening. Please help.
I agree, but they succeed IN SPITE of OCAD. I actually believe that anybody who goes to OCAD and becomes a success in their field, would have become successful no matter what school they went to. Even if they did not go to school they would become successful. I say this because there is a huge concrete wall in the front lobby of OCAD that has nothing on it. There is a stairwell in the centre of the school which has no windows and no art in it.
its even easier to get to ryerson than ocad. and ocad is not in the same league as sheridan, ocad is offically a university. york has a wicked film and photography program, as does ryerson, but both accept about 40 out of 4000 people who apply, where as i hear ocad accepts 1/4.
as important as technology itself...it brings " the modern", to " CREATIVITY!"...but what of old style???..please integrate......" I'VE LEARNT YET!!!!!!!!
That's all well and good but how many of those excellent examples of Creativity were a product of The Ontario College of Art and Design? Probably just that horrendous shoe box on stilts. I wouldn't say OCAD is a creative place. A lot of OCAD students are very, very creative, but that has nothing to do with OCAD the institution.
i was thinking the same thing this year, it was down to ryerson york or ocad, all for intergrated media, so basically film and media related hijinx. Ryerson is impossible to get into unless ur marks are stellar, york is hard too (for film that is) and OCAD is relatively easy if ur talented and outgoing, so im going to OCAD unless i get word from ryerson ( im on some dumb waitlist)
not necessarily 15 works. 13, 14, or 12 pieces would do. Just don't go overboard and go beyond 15. I went with only 13 pieces and I got in. Strive for VARIETY in your portfolio.
I can help those planning on building a portfolio for OCAD. I'm a third year Fine Art student - painting and drawing. Just pm me or something. I love OCAD.
I'm in second year GD at OCAD, and my advice to those of you looking to apply; read over the portfolio requirements for your course and go to a portfolio seminar. Also, look into co-op programs and ask professionals about their jobs.
this is one of the best videos on the youtube. THANK'S A LOT . IT'S JUST AWESOME!
such an excellent video!
Oh.....I see. So, in your opinion, which of the previously mentioned would be the top choices for going into art?

Amazing, ill be there next year
what is the song in the background. p.s. I'm so proud of all the ad references ;).
Does anyone know who originally created this video? I'd like to use it in a teacher training workshop but I want to ask permission first!
I love this; I want to go to OCAD so badly.
What is 1:26 from?

OCAD is FULL of creative minds and pioneers. This is exactly what OCAD is. Go back to sleep mattalexto.
