Spent the last three Saturdays leaning the basics of Industrial design by a master in their craft. Enjoyed the schools Granvile Island location decent sized classroom and engaging project I was assigned as part of the class. The full time students of this school are ikely very lucky people based I what I experienced in adult ed course.

I only went her on exchange for 5 months, and did not do the full program. My impression was that they are great with exchange students. Offering meetings so meet new people, keeping you up to date with everything that is happening around town etc. I met some great people!
The downside, was the education level. It was al very much focussed on the technical side of the design, HOW you do thing and not at all WHY. They don’t help you develop your own personal creativity, but just have you follow some standard guidelines. It is great if you want to learn how to work as a producer for some art director or whatever, but they won’t teach you how to be a graphic designer. Or at least, not a good one.

Emily Carr Institute was a total waste of time for me. I felt like I didn’t really had any chance to fully express and develop my creativity. My creativity had been much limited and institutionalized. ECI was really bureaucratic, you had to be conceptual, any signs of fonding over neo-​classicism u r outta the window, the tunneled visioned faculties-​whom-​never-​had-​their-​own-​show will look at u with detest. I struggled my way thru graudation. Shortly after I graduate, I applied a master degree prog in new york, at NYU Tisch. The experience at NYU was mind blowing~All of the faculties at NYU teach AND also working within the industry (e.g: current movie producers NOT retired). They know what’s REAL out there, unlike Emily Carr Institute, a school filled with looser instructors who can’t survive outside of the academic realm.
Bottom line: DO NOT APPLY TO THIS SCHOOL~~~~

I have taken Continuing Studies classes here and loved them. Located on Granville Island makes it tough to find parking but it’s free for 3 hours and after 7pm. I also frequent this campus to check out the exhibits and grab a bite from the cafeteria sometimes. Many friends have gone to school here and have become successful or not so successful artists.

I took a Continuing Studies class at Emily Carr and absolutely loved the experience. It’s a great way to spend evenings or weekends if you’re looking to learn something new or expand on an interest in the creative field. With registration, you receive access to their library and 10% off at Opus Art Supplies.
What’s great is that you meet so many different people of all ages and backgrounds, bonded by class interest. Wandering the halls, you see student projects and gallery showings.
The best part is that you’re challenging yourself and tapping into parts of yourself that help you see the world in a more colorful way. I never enjoyed getting homework so much. I can’t wait to take my next class. I hope you do, too.

I love walking in here during the odd day that they have art exhibits in their main area. It makes for a good break from the rain/​heat/​sun/​wind. And a lot of the pieces these students create are really cool and interesting to ponder over with a friend. And A+ for being free.

This is the première art school to attend in Vancouver and it’s presence at Granville Island amongst all the creative minds and artistic culture certainly harbour a great learning environment.
Whether it’s continuing education classes or a full time program it’s been putting out top notch training and it definitely shows.
The student grad shows are always great for both students and the public who get to view some of the amazing talent that attend the school.
