Well... maybe I had the place wrong, but I could have sworn that a couple
of graduating students from two school years ago got the application
materials from the Art Students League in NY and that the thrust of what
the school was looking for was basd on direct observation...a more
"traditional" approach to representation, whereas the Art Instutute of
Chicago enthusiastically accepted a student whose work was more
stylistic/illustration-like.
If I am wrong about the name, I apologize, but the general idea of
different programs looking for different stuff is still valid, n'est-ce
pas? :-)
