$33,000 for undergrad school for fine art that really has no real recognition for their…read moredisciplines. Graduating students are not picked from here but from the Cal Arts, Rochester Institite of Technology, even NYU has a better recognition. I moved on from this place knowing I can get a job with RIT. The professors at LCAD, a lot are inbreed from this school and have never worked out in the real world, struggled and give shared experience as a fine artist. They struggle with lower enrollment for these facts. They fail to fully implement degree level disciplines. You can get better classes from some junior colleges than here especially when tenured instructor quit teaching and become jaded in their own masters degree they got from this same school. They regurgitate the same classes as their instructors who have since retired or left for a real art school. Don't waste your money here

One of the worst places that you can go to Caleb is the guy…read morein charge he charged me twice for books and when I told him about it he totally denied it without even checking his records. I had to call the main office to get my money back. My daughter was not motivated going there at all learned nothing about arts. She had 6 hours to attend still and after arranging her schedule with him he marked her absent in classes that he called me on the phone to cancel! He then denied totally calling me or canceling the classes. This place is a big mess and they will be very happy charging your credit card hundreds of dollars and then canceling your classes saying it is not their fault. He won't refund me the money and won't remove my credit card from the system. It is a big scam!! Don't ever go there. Unprofessional and can't care less about your kid.

We also had Erna come to our house for an art birthday party. It was such a great activity for the girls. Erna was very thoughtful in the project she chose thinking about the birthday girl's likes.

It was such a fabulous idea for a party... their art was their party favor! I highly recommend taking a class with Erna!
