I think there's problems with GSA - but then I'm a hyper-critical bastard.

There seems to be a sort of traditionalism and closed-mindedness to many subjects at the place. The school itself is seen as more important that the individual students. There is a recognisable 'school style' - how can that be a natural thing with new students passing through each year and staff changing regularly? GSA tends to accept potential students partly on the grounds of whether they fit into the school style and way of thinking rather than wholly on merit.

It's interesting, but not something I see as a good approach.

I'm also wary of any art school which groups students into specific media - having seperate courses for painting, sculpture, etc. That's boxing people in - I believe you should train to be an artist or designer or whatever, not to work in one specific medium. Ideas are what's important, not technique. Otherwise you're just learning skills rather than thinking about why you should use them.

Just my opinion, not solid fact.

yeah very true.

gotta say so far it seems rather restrictive but is still amazing, i think it might be different for me as doin Enviromental Art a lot of my work jumps across boundaries etc. its not as if the other facilities are unavailable either.

Yeah, could be true in some departments but in my department (textiles) I wanted to be a weave designer. You can't get very far in that unless you learn specifically how to weave and use a loom. You have to have techniques which can put across your ideas. you could have the best ideas in the world, but if your technique's crap people won't want to know.

(my opinion)
