  I tried two of their workshops (painting), and they were totally useless. I was very disappointed after the first one but I again took another one because I thought I'd give them another chance. Wrong choice. They basically don't teach you ANYTHING, the instructor sits there finishing his/her own work, and it's you doing your work and then going home. And when you ask questions they say go figure it out yourself, there is no right or wrong in painting! So what's exactly the point of having a teacher?! I suppose I could do that by myself at home without having to pay a few hundred bucks! I have taken some short courses in Europe, and it's not even comparable to what these people do here. They teach you the techniques and inspire you to make creative art work, not just sit there resting and claiming art cannot be taught!! Shame on the art education system here.

  Emily Carr (ECUAD) is about embracing new experiences and figuring out what you can learn from whom. Everyone has a different teaching style and background, and likewise, everyone has a different way of learning. I think if you're hardworking, dedicated, and seek out opportunities, you can get the most out of any situation in life.

  A very friendly and closely knit community. The classes are mostly conceptual, so you must learn technique on your own. Whatever artistic wisdom you acquire will mostly come from your classmates. Most of the instructors have absolutely no idea what’s going on in the industry, however they are super accessible to students, and a good number of them will stay after class to answer questions etc.

  And that's not just me, I knew a girl who had finished her BA in fine arts (major in sculpture) here, she also said the same thing, that she didn't learn anything new throughout the 3-4 year program. So she basically finished with what she already knew before applying. Waste of time and money.

  I didn't learn much in my 4 years here and a lot of my work was self taught and inspired
