RISD Posts Summer Series Course Offerings (and Videos)

By Rain Noe - April 30, 2012

Though not as comprehensive as CCA's student experience videos, RISD has released a series of video interviews of their summer program attendees. With this year's RISD Summer Series batch of courses starting in late June, prospective attendees may want to hear someone's firsthand experience of what to expect and what that attendee liked about the program. Here's one of the vids:

Though branded as Continuing Ed courses, RISD's Summer Series is also open to high school grads looking to get a leg up on next year's freshmen. Courses in the Art & Design category are spread over Apparel, Architecture, Digital & Media, Drawing & Illustration, Furniture, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Jewelry, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Textiles. Check out the full selection here.

I attended RISD's Summer Studies program last summer and did classes in ID Rendering and Welding for Furniture Design. The classes themselves were fantastic. The program itself, though, is pretty bad. There are limited chances to meet other students - you only ever meet people outside of your class by accident or through mutual friends. Plus the meal plan is awful - cheaper and more delicious to eat off campus for every meal. Providence itself is a great place for burgeoning designers, but the nightlife is lacking (unless you really really like hipster dance clubs that have park benches and ping pong tables). I'd recommend it for the classes, but know that you're going to have to find people and things to do on your won.
