Title: BFA with good darkroom teachers/facilities
Post by: OmerYair on June 02, 2012, 08:33:25 am

Hi,

I have the option to participate in students exchange program next year and learn in almost any school for a semester. Can you recommend a school with BFA program that has good darkroom and alternative processes teachers and/or facilities?

It can be anywhere in the world as long as they teach in English.

The following institutions aren't available (either because the space is filled by other students or won't allow exchange with my school): San Francisco Art Institute, Maryland Institute College of Art, SVA, Slade (London), London College of Communication.

Thanks,
Omer

If you want to be in New York City, look into the School of Visual Arts ( http://www.sva.edu/ )

Thanks Peter, but SVA is already reserved for another student...

Thanks Daniel, I added it to the list.
It's been a long time since I posted and meanwhile I got a chance to apply to Maryland Institute College of Art which is my first priority.

Too bad I am so late getting into this arena. The Art Institute of Massachussets, Wesleylan Campus has one of the premiere alternative instructors, Christopher James - he's written more than a few books on the subject. Savannah College of Art & Design, Rhode Island School of Art & Design, New Hampshire Institute of Art and Daytona State College (one of the premiere photo colleges in the southeastern part of the US. I have students attending all these schools and I've not heard any complaints yet.
