    The American Academy of Art possesses an interesting background. Frank Young Sr. dreamt of creating a school that would “provide the best instructors, attract the best students, and neglect nothing that will help them to build successful careers.” In 1923, Young decided to turn his dreams into reality, thus creating The American Academy of Art (AAA). The school was originally designed as a school to offer Associate's Degrees in commercial arts, but with the help of the current owner and president of AAA, Richard H. Otto, the ‘Bachelor of Fine Arts Program’ was established in 1992 (“About the Academy”).

  • The Benefits of Funding the Arts

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

From the great sounds of a symphony, to the architecture of a modern structure, or even an elephant painting with its trunk, art is what the viewer perceives it to be.

    504 Words  | 2 Pages

    As I was reading a lot of things stood out to me. I never thought about public education being a topic to be discussed deeply.

Reading this section of the reading made me so sad because unfortunately I do see how different our generation is becoming, and that affects students at school.

The way readers are supposed to interpret that piece of literature isn’t always the way it is interpreted.
