Students can learn sculpture at any Grand Rapids art school.
Whether the subject is dance, film, digital media or drawing, art schools hone the artistic inclinations of their students. Grand Rapids, Michigan, is home to four art schools. Kendall College of Art and Design, Coit Creative Arts Academy, Compass Film Academy and Abrakadoodle provide teaching centered around art.
Kendall College of Art and Design
Ferris State University's Kendall College of Art and Design began as a furniture design school and developed into a comprehensive art school. Undergraduates may earn bachelor's degrees in art-related subjects from art history to digital media to furniture design. Master's programs are available in fine arts and arts education. A master's certificate is also available in design and innovation. Adults and children may take non-credit classes on weekends in drawing, painting, interior design and fashion.
Coit Creative Arts Academy
Coit Creative Arts Academy is a public elementary school for grades kindergarten through 5. The school ranks highly among Grand Rapids area elementary schools in both math and reading. Coit incorporates art into all aspects of learning.
Compass Film Academy
Compass Film Academy focuses on the art of filmmaking. Students learn story structure, film history, film editing and cinematography along with the business and legal aspects of the filmmaking industry. Compass seeks to mold passionate, talented students for a career in film. The program is three years long and starts in September of each year.
Abrakadoodle
Abrakadoodle is an art school focused on teaching elementary-age children aspects of art practice, such as working with color or clay. Although Abrakadoodle specializes in after-school programs, Abrakadoodle teachers can be incorporated into elementary schools that lack a strong arts program. Abrakadoodle offers art camps for children as well.
