6. art institute of chicago

The most important art school in Chicago has a high status in the United States.

University history: Modernism was stifled in Europe because fascism came to power and a large number of modernist masters moved to the United States. The main teacher and a large number of students from Bauhaus, the German modernist art education center, came to the United States. They not only brought modernist ideas, but also brought a new system of modernist art design teaching. Many fine arts colleges in the United States began to offer new courses to reform the traditional teaching of sketch, still life and human body. The most incisive example is * art institute of chicago * by Laszlo, the backbone of Bauhaus, 1938. Mohori The college built by Najib fully implemented the Bauhaus system, which completely changed the past art education mode in Chicago.

There is no central leading college in the United States, such as the French National Academy of Fine Arts and the Central Academy of Fine Arts in China. New york, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc. There are some good art colleges in the city, but they are not leading the trend. There is also a Julius Conservatory of Music in the United States, which can be said to be the first in the country, because American musical talents are concentrated in NY. It can hire experts from orchestras and opera houses to take part-time jobs to ensure that the best musicians in the world are teachers. However, no city in the United States has such an authoritative position in art and design, and there is no leading and unique higher education institution in China. The so-called excellent art colleges are only in terms of a certain major.
