[OFF TOPIC] European school for visual arts
hello,
really sorry about posting this question here, but I just dont know where else to ask.. I live in brazil and I want to get a degree in visual arts. I am having a hard time researching good schools. If anyone could reccomend me a couple links or names of truly good schools that I could research, it would be much appreciated.
I would be more interested in european based schools. Thanks in advance for any help, and again sorry for posting this question on this forum.
best regards

Well, you must have some sort of preference for specific countries. Is your English good enough to follow courses?
And visual arts is a bit broad of a description, too. Are you looking into fine arts? Painting? Sculpture? Media? Film?

Hello and thanks for the reply.
Pretty much anywhere in Europe where I could just speak english while at school. And yes, I think I speak english well enough to follow along.
I am looking for classes for me and for my girlfriend as well. I wanted to learn film and she was looking for something like “designing interactive media” or something along those lines.
So I guess Film and Media are the answers…thanks so much for helping out.
best regards

Are you looking for film schools? Or more along the direction of motiongraphics and animation.
For Interaction Design and media Ravensbourne (London) is pretty highly regarded. https://www.rave.ac.uk, but they don’t have a film school per se.
The UK’s best film school seems to be https://www.nftsfilm-tv.ac.uk, but it’s a very specialized approach, where you’re trained to be a specialist in a specific field. Whether this suits you is up to you. It’s also hard to get in.
France has a couple of good places but the language might pose a problem. Germany has a couple of good film schools as I’ve heard: https://www.filmakademie.de
Or if you’d prefer Berlin: https://www.hff-potsdam.de (actually Potsdam), and https://www.dffb.de.There’s so much choice out there… it’s impossible to give a comprehensive list. The best film specialized schools don’t always have a more multimedia centered department. So to find a place for both yourself and the girlfriend in the same school may be a bit tricky.
On the other hand, most of these schools are only as good as your personal effort in it. There’s only so much a teacher can teach you. And this is from a teacher.

hello Barend,
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me out with this. Sorry for making the first post so unclear.
I was thinking it would be hard to find a school that would suit me and her. But if we can find it in the same country that should be good enough. She is more interested in the interactive media stuff, and yes I am looking for a film school for myself.
I also like the idea of becoming a specialist in a specific area. I am definetly gonna check out all the info from https://www.nftsfilm-tv.ac.uk. see if there is any chance I could ever get in.
Hopefully this will expalin my intentions a little better. Either way, thanks again for all your input.
best regards
renato
