Half of the professors are in there 20s...... the other half are so old they flat out tell you they don't have any network connections for students sense they have been out of the field so long..... This is a great school if your parents make you choose from working at there company or go to college .... This place is nothing but a rich kids playground and so help you god if you think differently about situations or have your own thoughts and opinions about stuff it's flat out wrong if it doesn't alone with the educators ...... been at this school for 3 years there a joke if you want a real art education in the Midwest go to Chicago school of arts

The owners are very friendly and patient. I looked into places closer to me for my 10 year old, but…read morecouldn't find what I was looking for. I saw this studio recommended by a friend and took my son, who.is 10. He is shy and they were able to help him come out of his shell and show his creative side.

My son enjoys it very much. Staff is friendly. Interior well kept. Reasonably priced. I especially like the pay as you go policy. No $$ wasted if you miss a class. They are flexible about needing to come on a different day if your regular time slot does not work that week. Wrap that all up with individualized instruction and this place is AWESOME!!

Known for having late singer songwriter Aaliyah as part of its alumni, the Detroit High School for…read morethe Fine and Performing Arts is a one of a kind public school in Motown. Offering not only general education studies, but more importantly art classes in a variety of mediums, this 9-12th grade school is herald as the best of the best among local public schools. Opened over a decade ago by Denise Darcel Davis, this premiere public school offers students studies in dance, television communications, theater, visual arts and more on top of math, science, English, etc. Students are accepted only on an audition/portfolio basis, so the stakes are high, but definitely worth it. The school moved in early 2000 to its multi-million dollar facility off of Cass Ave in Midtown. For those seeking a one up in the field of art this is the Detroit school to do it in. As an alumni myself I would first recommend attending for the brilliant art teachers and the advantage students receive in their field of study. The school days are a bit longer, but students of DSA receive the advantage, DSA students consistently score higher on Michigan standardized test than any local public school.

During the past year we had an exchange student who attended the Detroit School of the Arts, so…read morethere were lots of opportunities for us to interact with the teachers, staff and other students. Some of the pluses: 1) It's a beautiful campus. The building is new. It's bright and airy. It's very clean. There's a huge stage for preformances. 2) The counseling staff really seem to care about the students. Our student made a lot of adjustments on her class schedule and they were always willing to work with her. 3) The art-related classes are very good and they have a wide variety of options. On the downside: 1) Despite being given such a good opportunity, some of the students just aren't that serious about their art or their academic classes. There was a lot of skipping school to hang out at Wayne State or Starbucks. 2) The building itself is very tall with lots of stairs. If I was a student there I would not be happy about going up and down five or six flights 8-10 times a day. The elevator is only for students with medical disabilities that prevent them from taking the stairs. 3) I got a real shock when the first report card arrived and I saw that our student had a number of skipped classes and more than a dozen tardies. Frankly, I think the school should call you the first time your student misses class or is unually late with no reasonable excuse. I would have liked significantly more communication rather than having to hear about things way after the fact.

It's nice to see a letterpress studio, tucked away in a corner near Eastern Market, its facade exploding with wooden sculptural shards. A great place for an art opening but an even better place for your next project or multidisciplinary lecture. Or to print your super-hipster unique wedding invitations (should you want them?). You can even print and bind your own books here - you know, the dream of the 1890's ( Portlandia). If there is some snark creeping in here it's just because the one opening I attended was populated with some seriously cold and aloof 20-somethings sipping PBRs. But I think that was more the opening than the owners of the venue, who seem to invite all sorts of creative endeavors. Their website says they even have 16mm film screenings sometimes. Nifty. So if you're looking for a place to put your graphic design visions on paper, or to expand your art knowledge, or hang out with artsy fartsy folk, this here is your nook.

The bookbinding lesson is a performance in itself, best reenacted by Geoffrey Rush or Tom Wilkinson. Frosting on the cake is that there will likely be many very interesting people in attendance with you. The November evening could have only been made better had, upon exiting the building, a fluffy snowstorm been falling. This evening qualifies as a lush one. These events tend to sell out quickly and well in advance.
