Fine Arts

Class of 2006 / Fine Arts

Ten years later I’ve developed a skill from my professor’s random act of kindness. That little bottle was the start of me dripping paint.

RMCAD was really influential for me, the teachers I had were extremely impactful and I still keep in touch with them. I think a smaller school like RMCAD can be really beneficial in terms of making connections and keeping those connections.

“RMCAD did the biggest thing for me that every artist needs to experience—it checked my ego…you’re always going to learn, and someone always has something to teach you.”

My message is to be a humanitarian, to pull our moral imagination back to center.

Class of 2006 / Interior Design

A lot of my technical experience is 100% Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design.

Class of 2002 / Interior Design

Rocky Mountain was one of the first colleges I looked at ­– loved the program, loved the area, and I never looked back.

There is a lot I learned at RMCAD that I use in my career every day.

Class of 2010 / Illustration

RMCAD was great because it gives you a guideline for how to work in teams.  How to create artwork for someone else, not just yourself.

Class of 1988 / Graphic Design

You can come back here and know they’re going to have the curriculum and programs you need to succeed.

Class of 2003 / Graphic Design

I think often of my foundation work at RMCAD. Some of those lessons stay with me today.

Class of 2012 / Graphic Design

It [RMCAD] taught me a lot about being a designer and being a better thinker – being more well-rounded.

Class of 2012 / Graphic Design

I wanted to immerse myself in an environment that would teach me, and that was what RMCAD was offering.

Class of 2016 / Game Art

I wanted to be a part of the pre-production that goes into game making-things like the animation and the concept work and all of the actual game building. That’s why I chose RMCAD, because it was really the only school that taught the art side of the game art program.

Class of 2016 / Fine Arts

That moment was when everybody started to understand my work without me having to say anything, that was a moment where I started to feel like I was connecting with something.

Class of 2017 / Art Education

I think what’s really rewarding about teaching is when you finally see a person’s face light up.

Class of 2004 / Animation

What’s really nice about the RMCAD community is that it is a community. We’re all good friends and we keep in contact. A lot of the people that I was here with are working in the industry, so that says how important those relationships are.
