Visiting a museum or gallery is one of life’s great pleasures. You get to immerse yourself in someone else’s imagination, spend time with breathtaking objects, and—if you’re lucky—exit through a gift shop. But for newer visitors (and even for seasoned gallery-goers), a few practical questions often arise: What should I wear? Is photography okay? How close is too close? Can I bring my latte?
Let’s break it down so you can enjoy the art with confidence.
Before there were keyboards, typewriters, or even fountain pens, the pencil was cutting-edge technology. It offered something no other writing tool could: portable, erasable creativity. For centuries, it has been the artist’s and writer’s constant companion, ready to capture ideas anywhere, anytime, with nothing more than a sharpener and a spark of imagination.
If you’ve taken a test at KCAI—or anywhere else, for that matter—you’ve probably encountered the humble blue book. With its simple blue cover and lined pages, this little booklet has been a staple of essay exams for generations. But where did this academic tradition come from, and why is it still around?
Textbooks can be one of the biggest expenses of college, but did you know you might not have to buy them at all? The Jannes Library at KCAI and other library resources can help you access the books you need for free. Before you hit "buy" on an expensive textbook, here are some ways to check if you can borrow it instead.
Welcome to KCAI! Whether you’re a new student preparing for your first week or a parent helping your artist get ready, we know this is an exciting (and maybe a little overwhelming) time. To help you feel prepared and confident, we’ve put together a quick guide on what KCAI art students need for their first couple of weeks at school. Let’s make sure your first few days are smooth, stress-free, and filled with creativity!
