Have you ever wondered what it would be like to attend an art school? Are you curious to know what kinds of courses art schools offer, or what one must do to apply for admission? You can find the answers by visiting art schools on the Internet. Students attending art schools have the opportunity to explore various kinds of artistic activities, from painting and sculpture to drama and video production. Art school programs differ in many other ways as well. For example, some schools are conducted in the summer, while others offer longer courses of study. Visit several schools and find out all about them. You might even discover that you'd like to enroll in a particular school one day.

Visit the art schools listed in the Artist's Passport below. Click on the button that will print out three copies of your worksheet, and record your findings for three of the schools or programs. When you have finished answering the questions, choose one school that you might like to attend one day, and compose a letter explaining why you have selected that school.
