Cleveland Institute of Art Spring Show

springshow1

This years CIA Spring Show was a good one. This was my first time to go back to my old school and really get a chance to go through all the work and get an in depth look at it all. I must say I was quite impressed. The quality of work was high and there was a lot of it. The graduating automotive students had a room all to their selves and they covered every wall from floor to ceiling with models filling the center. The work was so good that Chrysler was there giving interviews during the show of which two students were hired. I’ll let the work speak for itself. Check it out in the gallery.

Along with Automotive, students also study Product and Interior design. These other areas help develop students that have experience in every major area of design. In such a competitive market this school has the work to compete.

Great work fellers, now get a job ya bumbs.

I was down at the show, and the work was outstanding. CCS has a better artistic quality, but CIA students are real thinkers, and dreamers. Thank you for this site, is it beautiful.
