I'm going to be studying in Canada soon and I was wondering if anyone knew the best art school in Vancouver, Canada. I willl be living near Oak st. so, somewhere near there pls.

I need something that specializes in 2D animation…Something like game design…(Anime)

Oh, and If possible I need the tuition to be less expensive…somewhere between $4-6 k dollars per year… because i'm on a tight budget.

Vancouver, located within the province of British Columbia, is Canada's third largest city with 600,000 residents in an area covering 46.7 square miles. The city's has many noted museums in addition to exhibits of contemporary and historical art, and over 100 art galleries. Sometimes called "Hollywood North," Vancouver has become a significant production area for the film and television industries. Training for art students can be found at both universities and colleges plus through workshops and residency programs.

The wealth of opportunities for careers in film, advertising, architecture, design and other visual arts brings thousands of students to Vancouver to study art. The city has many higher education institutions dedicated to offering accredited visual arts degrees. Some popular facilities include the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts (VanArts), the Center For Digital Image & Sound (CDIS), and the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design. The Art Institute of Vancouver has two locations in the area.

Enrollees in these schools can earn many types of visual arts degrees including Advertising degrees, Interior Design degrees and Graphic Design degrees. They can also receive training leading to architectural careers, photography careers, fashion careers, and a number of other careers in the arts.

Vancouver also has a large cluster of schools that offer certificates, workshops, and residency programs in arts. Vancouver Film School, Focal Point: The Visual Arts Learning Center Photography School; the Ampro Photo Workshops Photography School; Paint Asia Japan Art Workshops; Arts Desire Art Instruction; and the Columbia Academy – Vancouver's Broadcasting, Recording, and Digital Video Production Schools are all examples of the various certificate and "hands-on" types of training visual artists can receive.

The city's schools and arts programs are a reflection of the numerous visual arts employment opportunities available in Vancouver. The film and photography industries are particularly popular, but the plethora of businesses and the growing community make ideal conditions for all graduates of visual arts programs.

Some of the best art schools in the world are in the US. Here are some of the very top programs:

Rhode Island School of Design
School of Visual Arts
The Art Institute of Chicago
Parsons
Fashion Institute of Technology (fashion design, specifically)
New York University (film, specifically)
UCLA (film, specifically)

And then there are some fine general universities which have excellent art programs, like:

Syracuse
Carnegie Mellon
Rochester Institute of Technology (for printmaking specifically)
Alfred University (for ceramics specifically)

I hope this gets you started.

Schools that I am already aware of:
SVA
Pratt
Parsons
FIT
RISD
Cooper Union
SMFA
ACCD
SAIC

You’ve got some great ones on your list. Of course, FIT is just for fashion, so isn’t a good choice if you wanted to major in, say, ceramics.

I assume you’re just talking about pure art schools, and not great art schools that are part of broader universities, correct?

The undisputed champion of pure art schools, and the one that’s most famous, is certainly RISD. But others that are very well known and extremely well respected, and which aren’t on your list, are: Maryland Institute College of Art, California Institute of the Arts, Cranbrook Academy, New York State College of Ceramics (SUNY Alfred – for ceramics and glass specifically), Rochester Institute of Technology (for printing, wood, and photography), San Francisco Art Institute (absolutely NOT related to the AI chain of schools, which are to be avoided), and Massachusetts College of Art. Those rank top 25.

Below them, but still ranking top 50, are: University of the Arts, Cleveland Institute of Art, Otis College of Art, and Minneapolis College of Art.

Where can I find art schools or universities in Cupertino California?
how far is San Fran. from Cupertino?

In Cupertino??
Cupertino is not very big.. I never heard anything great about it. (I'm from San Jose, just a few miles from there).

San Fransisco is your best bet..
Try Academy of Arts or Art Institute..

Just North of Cupertino.

Edit: It's very close.
It's about 30 minutes (40 miles) drive from Cupertino.

You may also consider San Jose (12 miles from Cupertino) or Santa Cruz (Also close by), or Berkeley.

Great thing about Cupertino is that it's smack in the middle of the bay area.
Lot's of great career opportunities and great selection of schools in the bay area..
