NAAB Accreditation The National Architectural Accrediting Board In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year, or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards. Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree. The Academy of Art University, Department of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited programs: M.Arch.(pre-professional degree + 63 graduate credits)M.Arch.(non-preprofessional degree + 87 graduate credits) Next accreditation visit for all programs: 2013 NASAD Accreditation National Association of Schools of Art and DesignThe National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) is the national accrediting agency for art and design and art and design-related disciplines.

I am, in fact, hiring one student to do a job for me right now. Axel Alonso, Marvel Comics A talented group of artists once again. I have to say of all the schools I have visited, yours is one of the most impressive. Ernie Edmondsonm, Walt Disney Animation Television I thought the event was terric.

Graphic Design graduate student Vincent Lo reinterpreted the Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) guidelines that govern the
worked on a semester-long project to create garments that had a minimal environmental impact. The student teams developed four collections across concentrations of Design, 3D Design, Textiles and Knitwear. Each team was asked to create a collection of modern heirlooms and leave behind a legacy for successors to build upon. One student team used cutting room waste while another reused discarded hospital scrubs. In addition to designing a collection responsibly, teams were required to propose a business model and implementation strategy, including plans for service elements, distribution, retail concepts, marketing tactics and stafng. Each team also considered future labor and production practices through analysis of each collections intended lifecycles.
Students Design for the Planet

The Design Ignites Change initiative encourages students to create good design to address pressing social problems. Always at the vanguard of art and design movements, Academy of Art University has contributed a variety of projects. An overview of each is included below.
Tree Free Toilet Paper Goes Mainstream
As part of a Graphic Design and Sustainability course, graduate student Jenny Pan developed the PULP brand of toilet paper to educate the public on sustainable alternatives for paper production. To reduce deforestation, Jenny created a brand that harnesses agricultural waste, hence eliminating our dependency on tree-ber. By communicating the benets of renewable materials, this project aims to make personal behavior more environmentally responsible.
consumer electronics manufacturing industry. He updated the branding and audit system giving visual unity to the compliant products and a way to display the exact amount of hazardous substances found within them. The project added much-needed life to a vague standard. Los repackaging elevated the RoHS certication to a covetable designation and gave it new relevance in the industry.
The Three Rs Revisited

R3: Recycle/Reuse/Reclaim is a collaborative project by Academy students that examines product lifecycles in order to create more holistic solutions. Students taking Print 3 in Graphic Design identied an existing product and documented that products lifecycle in a book. The resulting collection include a reusable and energy-efcient hair dryer and a recyclable refrigerator.
Upcycled Art
The Photography Department found a way to create art from waste with their Paper Airplanes Installation, a mobile sculpture of paper airplanes made from used and unwanted photo paper. Photographers, who often use a considerable amount of paper, contributed the materials and wrote messages and thoughts on sustainability.

Design Build Project in San Anselmo, California
In summer 2009, Professor Greg Upwall and ve students from the Graduate School of Architecture embarked on Academy of Art Universitys rst Design Build Project. In an intensive three month period, the students designed and constructed a custom standalone ofce for a home in San Anselmo, California. In return for cost of materials, their clients received close to a 1,000 hours of design and research on recycled and reclaimed materials. In the design process, Professor Upwall, a LEED certied architect, gave the students an additional challenge: to create and build with prefabricated modular components. Such a system enabled students to bring the construction back to the precision environment of the Universitys workshop. Second, it shortened assembly on site to two weeks. Finally, the prefabricated designs could be recongured for a variety of different sites and uses.
Quotes from Participating Students

One of the exciting aspects of our design is the fact that it can be adapted to many different site conditions, needs of the client, and material choices. The module design creates precision construction, high insulation factors, and simple assembly. The compact size of the modules makes it easy for two people to carry and install on very steep terrain, like on the Whitworths property. Mary Telling
The Design
Since the area of the building was less then 120 square feet, no permit was required. Concrete foundation was poured with three drilled piers on the steep slope in the back of the clients property. The shop fabricated modules were designed to create wall/oor, wall/roof combinations. These modules were bolted to each other and then connected to six thin, internal steel moment frames which add structural rigidity. Materials were chosen to maximize efciency and durability, with an emphasis on environmentally sustainable materials. Reclaimed redwood siding on the exterior, recycled denim insulation, LED lighting systems, and Low E2 insulated glazing were also implemented in the design.
24
The advantages of the Design Build are benecial for both the client and the students. The client receives the dedication and focused attention of ve students under Gregs thoughtful guidance. While we gain real-life experience as not only the architect, but as the contractor and construction workers too. Shanay Moghbel
Future Projects
The Academy of Art University School of Architecture is reviewing potential future projects for non-prots and individual clients to be designed and constructed by student groups. Interested parties may contact the School of Architecture at 415.274.2200.
Constructing the modules in the wood shop has allowed us to design systems to minimize waste. All of our studs and plywood have been precalculated and laid out so that we have less then an inch of waste for every 16 feet. Efcient design has been carried out from the design process through to construction. Justin Ackerman

The Future of Game Design Begins with You

Dont let the word game fool you. The eld of game design is not childs play, but the largest, fastest-growing media industry in the world. Not only does this mean that more people are playing video games, but also that virtual worlds and interactive environments are inltrating every area of our lives from phones to televisions. Before games ever became a media industry, many philosophers thought that games played a fundamental role in human behavioral learning. What was once theory now seems to be self-evident: as the game industry innovates and expands, it is starting to provide everything from entertainment, education and groundbreaking social interaction. We have just begun to tap into its potential.

Holistic Curriculum: In Industrial Design, students spend a lot of time learning to build the things that they design, and this helps them to better understand the processes that shape a mass-produced object. It also gives them an opportunity to develop their own skills and allows their condence in their design capabilities to take rm root. Skills Training: In addition to studio drawing, perspective and computer drawing, and rendering classes, students will take four-3D (modelmaking) studio classes in which they rst learn and later develop their model-making skills.
sanding rooms containing spindle and disc sanders and one more lathe for working foam plastics. The Wood Shop features four stateof-the-art SawStop table saws. These saws were recently acquired as part of the Academys cutting-edge effort in shop safety.
The Metal Shop The IDS Metal Shop features every tool necessary in order to make precision metal parts for a students model project. Most of the work here is done in aluminum, and these tools are used to make things from plastic. We have four precision machine lathes (three with digital readouts), four vertical milling machines (two with digital readouts), a bead-blasting cabinet, two grinders, and large sheet metal shear and bending brakes. The Plastics Shop The Academy Plastics Shop provides a setting in which students learn basics of sheet plastic fabrication (cutting, gluing, heat forming) and also learn to make molds and mold their own parts out of a variety of plastic materials. We also teach composite lay-up, sculpting in foam plastic and clay, and vacuum forming using the departments own custom-built vacuum-forming machine.

The Wood Shop The IDS Wood Shop is the largest and most often used of the four shops. It is used to fabricate items and jigs in both natural and articial wood products. In this Workshop Area, you will nd ve band saws, four drill presses, jointer, planer, two miter saws, a panel saw, and four wood shapers and table routers. There are two wood lathes and two isolated The Paint Shop The Academy IDS Paint Shop is one of the best-equipped and bestmanaged design school painting facilities in the country, featuring a custom-built negative pressure spray booth large enough to hold a full-sized automobile. The department recently expanded to two additional booths, which comprise 18 student workstations. There are twin high-output air compressors to handle the air requirements of the booths and the other IDS shops, and two stateof-the-art automatic spray gun washing stations were added recently. The Paint Shop uses the best-quality automotive paints, with 150,000 colors stored in a computer database, and a color bank allowing any of these colors to be mixed from stock on an as needed basis. Students refer to a color chip book, ll out an order form, and the color is mixed for their project. All students in the Industrial Design program at the Academy of Art University learn to use a spray gun to apply paint in their rst semester; these skills are continually used and rened throughout a students tenure at the Academy.

CAREER pATHS
Did you know?
Students in the senior product design class have a shot at designing products for the 2012 Olympics thanks to an innovative collaboration with Nike. Nike asked students to design products for two new sports that will be added for the 2012 Olympic Games Ultra Marathon Trail Running and Ultra Mountain Bike Racing. The products were to be designed to be worn by the athletes during the event and to ensure that their hydration and nutrition needs were met. The intense demands on the athletes require products that are uniquely tailored to the task. As part of the class project, students researched the events, and they contacted potential Olympics participants, one of whom visited the class to answer students questions. Nike will review the nal designs and, if one looks like a winner, it will be developed for possible use in the 2012 Olympic Games.

Design spaces that create harmony

We believe all people deserve a conversation with nature. Landscape architects create community parks, revitalize urban centers and watersheds. They rejuvenate suburban streetscapes, playing elds and playgrounds. They design beautiful gardens, college campuses and landscapes for corporate headquarters. They create trails, interpretive walkways and entrances for national parks. Urban regeneration, climate change, water issues, habitat restoration: here you will learn to think big. If you want to be a part of environmental solutions, landscape architecture is your passion.

Did you know?

MFA student Ollie Mamarils music is playing in a commercial shown all over the East Coast. Ollie found out about the opportunity to compose a score for two Modells Sporting Goods commercials through his friend Angelo Valencia at White House Post, a production company in Los Angeles. Ollie, who had been playing guitar in band for over ten years, jumped at the opportunity. Using techniques he learned in class, Ollie composed a score using only his MacBook and guitar. Though Modells Sporting Goods was initially considering using a score composed by an established large music house, they felt that Ollies was a better t. Now, viewers have the opportunity to hear Ollies soaring score as the backdrop to an inspirational commercial featuring soccer team DC Uniteds Bobby Boswell.

Many students enter our program having had little or no experience with drawing. Our program is designed to teach a beginning student everything he or she needs to know to be successful.
Building crumble without a solid foundation. Thats particularly apt in the world of art and design. Trends last about as long as the attention spans of those who are slaves to them. But as many a wise and successful artist has decreed, classics are forever. Without solid grounding in drawing, perspective, color and design, your specialized skills might as well be built on quicksand. Thats why youll be taught foundations based on principles such as analysis of form, hard and soft edges, tone, shadow and value. This is the knowledge of ourishing professionals. This is the formal training youll need for getting and keeping a job.
The computer doesnt create skills, it amplies them. However, if you havent learned basic artistic skills, then you are in deep trouble. Way too many people think that if they learn to use a computer program, they can become an artist. Wrong! Learn the basics of drawing, color, composition and design, and you will be much farther ahead.

I started at the Academy of Art University looking for a change. I was tired of pushing papers around, so I thought of computer animation as something to check out. I was new to the world of art and planned to just jump right into the world of computer animation on a whim. When signing up for classes it was explained to me how valuable a traditional art education was. That meant I had to take classes in drawing, learning about anatomy, colors, sculpture, and those sorts of new things. I thought, Oh great, I have to take classes with people who have been drawing their whole lives. Time to get a D...whatever, ill give it a shot. My rst teacher was great. He not only drew well and gave me good feedback, but more importantly he encouraged me, motivated me, mentored me. Drawing a ball seems easy enough at rst, till you try to make it look real. I learned how to draw a sphere and the different values of shadow created by light. I worked hard at that ridiculous, semi-round shape I created. It wasnt any good, but I felt like I had actually learned something that class. Then came other shapes, more and more complicated. Turns out that all the complicated shapes are made up of very simple shapes. I was glad I worked hard on the little ones, because every step builds on the prior ones. I need to be able to make a cone to make a sheet, a sheet to make someones

clothing, etc. And all along the way, my teacher made me want to do more, to put in more hours, to be better. It wasnt just homework, it was a challenge. It was fun.
goes a long way, but what got me going was a teacher that believed I could do it and told me so. I found even more success in one of the
my head. I could try to guess, but I didnt know either. I just had to work harderand I did. I ended up getting 2 pieces from that class into the Spring Show. One of them took a blue ribbon. That was the highlight of my foundations classes, and my success was sparked by that rst teacher, Mitch Gibson, who showed me I could do something I had never done before and do it well.
I may have been the slowest in my drawing class, but I put more time in than anyone else despite working over 50 hours a week. It paid off. In the end I put about 60 hours into one nal piece that made it into the Spring Show. I was really happy about that. Effort
toughest classes, color and design. The rst day of class the teacher said not to worry if you didnt know a thing about color. She said that she had one student once that didnt even know what colors to mix to make green. Everyone laughed. I just smiled and shook

LIBERAL ARTS
All successful art and design professionals have a broad range of knowledge that was gained and nurtured in the Liberal Arts. Our classes teach you how to think and give you something substantial to think about. Art is communication and we make sure that you have something meaningful to say.
At the core of our Liberal Arts curriculum are comprehensive Art History and English curricula. The Academy celebrates the artistic traditions of the past and encourages emerging artists to situate themselves in this cultural continuum. The Art History sequence brings the great masterworks and their creators to life, engaging students both visually and critically. Highly literate as visual communicators, artists must also be able to express their ideas through written and oral communication. Every artist, regardless of medium, is a storyteller. Thus, the Academys unique English series focuses not only on the fundamentals of writing, but also on the elements of narrative. In The Academy of Art University strives to nurture the entire artist, and the Liberal Arts program is an integral component in this process. addition to these core sequence courses, students have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of subjects in the Humanities, Social Sciences, Sciences, and Career Studies.

ATHLETICS AT THE ACADEmY

The Academy of Art University is the only four-year art school with membership in the NCAA.
Our athletic program shatters stereotypes on artists and jocks because our artists are athletes. Bold expression, focused intention and unbridled passion are the marks not only of a great artist, but also a top athlete. Jamie Williams, the Director of the Athletics Department, is a rm believer that an education in the arts enhances performance on the eld. The former tight end for the San Francisco 49ers inspires his players through the three As: academics, the feeder of intellect; arts, the emancipator of spirit; and athletics, the builder of courage. In addition to competitive sports, Academy of Art University has a Recreational Sports and Fitness Department. Artists often forget that their body is an instrument to creating their masterpieces. Nutritional classes and intramural teams help achieve awareness of the body and channel creative energy for a lasting career in the arts.

ADMISSIONS
When to Apply
Academy of Art University has rolling admissions; you may apply year-round to enroll in classes for Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. It is recommended that you apply as early as possible to ensure enrollment in your rst choice of classes. You may apply up to two years before you plan to enroll at the Academy. (Application fee is non-refundable, and application can not be deferred.) Applications are accepted through the second week of the Spring and Fall semesters, and the rst week of the Summer semester.
Undergraduate Admissions Philosophy The Academy of Art University was built on the educational philosophy that all students interested in studying art, design and communications deserve the opportunity to do so. It is our belief that all students willing to make the appropriate commitment have the ability to learn professional-level skills. We maintain an inclusive admissions policy for all undergraduate programs.* Previous experience with art, design, communications, or acting is not required for admission. Students of all skills levels, beginning to advanced, will be accommodated with the proper coursework. We prepare students for advanced courses by offering foundations courses that teach fundamental art, design, communications and acting skills.
Graduate Admissions Philosophy The Academy of Art University graduate programs are designed for students who desire focused, master-level study in their eld of choice. All students who hold a bachelors degree are encouraged to apply. Graduate students undergo an individualized program of study that includes one-on-one instruction from a professional advisor and a faculty-guided nal project. Applicants to the graduate programs are asked to submit a portfolio and other materials to demonstrate their level of ability (see Graduate Admissions Requirements for more information). The portfolio is used for class placement purposes only; the Academy provides skills-mastery courses for rst semester students who need preparatory work.

Thats the story.

Its a story in pictures and a few words that tells of creativity, imagination, and people, just like you, on their way to the top. The new professionals who have created this story for you love going to work where they spend their days turning ideas into selling communications. Filling the world with beauty that never existed before. Looking at things like theyve never been seen before. Telling stories like theyve never been told before. Theyre working art and design professionals who have jobs so rewarding that its almost embarrassing for them to take money for what they love and do so well. If these words and pictures have fanned the spark of creativity in you, nd areas that really interest you. Then, do something about it. It could be the beginning of another story, your story. You know, the one that makes history.
To all the students, faculty and alumni whose artwork and words appear in this catalog. Your talent is an inspiration and we appreciate you being a part of the Academy family.
