Astute Artistry

The curriculum is extremely rushed, and if you are brand new, there is absolutely no way you can keep up. Astute is money hungry and cares nothing for your development as an artist.

The absolute worst thing about Astute was when they had the board of accreditation come out. I spent a whole day cleaning the filthy brushes and makeup they had that hadn't been cleaned on months. The owner still wanted those products and supplies for her students and employees, so she had us box it up and hide it until the accreditation board left. Not to mention, they changed the curriculum, tests, rules, and requirements to attend Astute hours before the board came.

This was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made, I spent roughly $15,000 attending this sad joke of a school, and sadly, will most likely never get my money back. As a peer, please, look into other options. If you are a parent and your child wants to attend, just say NO.
