My impression of MCAD students — It's the studio

Alex Friedrich November 23, 2011, 1:40 PM Nov 23, 2011

As a wrap-up to the coverage of my visits to Minnesota colleges, I try to write a post summing up my impressions of the campus and its students. This time, though, after visiting the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, I realize I need to highlight an essential part of the students’ lives: their studios. Read more →

As part of my wrap-up of a day spent at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, I chatted with President Jay Coogan. He’s a sculptor, and came to MCAD from the Rhode Island School of Design. And having come from New England, he’s no stranger to cold winters. Here are some highlights from our Read more →

Where you can seriously major in comics

Surrounded by comics on the classroom walls and below a Superman comic on a video monitor, MCAD adjunct faculty member Jim Keefe is critiquing junior Kyle Kruegor’s draft comic project in today’s “Introduction to Comics” class. Students such as Kruegor have already practiced the various stages — plot, penciling, lettering and inking. In this last Read more →

How fine-arts students can get experience at MCAD

Campus has been buzzing with the 14th annual art sale, which starts tonight and runs through Saturday. It’s apparently the largest campus art sale in the nation, from what officials say, and a big reason why non-artists know about MCAD in the Twin Cities. Today the halls are decked out with 9,000 prints, paintings and Read more →

Photos: Breakfast at AJ's digs at MCAD

As you might guess, having breakfast in the cafeteria of Minneapolis College of Art and Design could be a lonesome affair. MCAD students tend to sleep late, so apparently most eat breakfast at home, which is either off-campus or in one of the college’s seven apartment blocks. So I figured I’d have breakfast MCAD style: Read more →

How to mix art, 18 credits and 40-plus hours of work

So you think Minneapolis College of Art and Design students have the life, eh? Whiling away the hours sketching, smoking and pondering the essence of chartreuse? Yeah, right. Meet Anthony “AJ” Warnick and think again. At 28, the senior in Web and Multimedia Environments studies full time while cobbling together several outside jobs into 40-plus Read more →

Good morning, MCAD. You can wake up now.

Don’t expect to see much at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design if you arrive in the “early” morning. I’m there by 8 a.m. to meet spokesman Rob Davis and student Anthony Warnick. Talk about quiet. Where are all the students scurrying bleary-eyed to their classes? Not gonna happen here. The halls are empty Read more →

I'm visiting Minneapolis College of Art & Design today

This’ll be a change. After covering three community and technical colleges this semester, today I’ll be visiting my first four-year private institution — and an art school at that. I’m spending the day at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, known around here as MCAD. With just 700 students or so, it’s on a Read more →
