 sorry to interfere with the layton/ace attorney crossover game hype but hey, north american guys, can I ask for your help/advice?

um this is kind of embarrassing but it's not much of a secret that I've been planning to study abroad after I'm done with my service so my little chat today with mom made me think I should probably start looking for

Rofl i would totally go "GO TO THE GOBELINS SCHOOL"- wait that's not in North America orz

You're right to look up now, 2 years isn't that early since sometimes you have to prepare something months ago

I hope you find informations! o/

[shourii]

thank you onoo ;3; and haha i figured north america would just be the easiest place for me to study since i'm not fluent in anything other than english and hebrew / u \

[ono_tachibana]

I sill give you a link in case... just to look up what sort of things you can do haha

It depends on what you like to study...

I'm an illustration major at rcad. 8Db looooooooooovr it!!!

[shourii]

that's part of the problem.. you see, I took an expanded art class in high school but it was still a lot less than any art class you'll ever get in an american highschool.
meaning, I learned nothing new and got a 100 on stuff I already knew orz
the only thing we did learn was art history so

I don't really know what i want to do. orz but illustration sounds great?? everything sounds great tbh ;o;

Uhmm, I'm not sure how helpful I can be since I only know several art school in Canada (and more specifically, in Ontario cause that's where I live hahaha) but I'll try

[shourii]

no this is very helpful!! *-*

you said Sheridan has a program that offers a job, too? that sounds PERFECT since I know I will have to work my ASS off to pay everything orz
I'd love to know more about it..!

[galaxythrow]

Sure thing! You have to apply for a job after you actually are accepted into the program of your choice (which has specific portfolio requirements which I guess can be all found on their website at http://www.sheridaninstitute.ca).

The process of actually getting a job requires you to contact the co-op officials and apply for the jobs of your choice. The college will help you get the job, 95% of the time everyone gets a job, too. Most of the jobs are paid (you can probably check if its a paid job or just an experience internship when you apply). I think the average, from the last time I check, is around $300-$500 a week? But that really depends on which internship you apply to.

thank you so much!! *O*

[shourii]

whoaa thank you so much rogue!

and from what you say art schools sound really good because I don't even know what I want to major in! so taking two years to try a variety of things sounds perfect *3*

and, um, rogue, I live in Israel I can't go to portfolio days ;o; or visit that many colleges?
plus i don't think i could afford any trips to the US other than when i plan to come study...?

also portfolio standards in Israel are REALLY low so i wouldn't even know how to BEGIN making one orz

[ctcsherry]

OCAD and Sheridan, yup. As far as I know, most grads out of those two are great artists - so I assume they teach pretty practical things too. If you come to Toronto we should totally hangout lol.
I also know Emily Carr and Vancouver Film School in Vancouver. Emily Carr is a bit more "theoretical", more like University and academics than necessarily aims to get you job ready, but maybe that's what you're looking for. Vancouver Film school focuses on animation. Really good ones. That's about it sorry not much info there.

[shourii]

even if you couldn't give much info about them, at least I got names so I can look into them myself! thank you *v*
