Mel BuchananSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In New Orleans in 1884, there was an incredible world's fair, the Cotton Centennial, and part of that included these very popular art classes for the public organized by Tulane.
Mel BuchananSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Specifically, Tulane hired brothers from the Rhode Island School of Design, William and Ellsworth Woodward.
Mel BuchananSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And after the fair, they kept doing those kind of public art initiatives.
Mel BuchananSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And they were organizing, and this is key, women.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
That might be why we didn't remember.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
Now we got this one kind of boring aerial shot, and it's the Rhode Island School of Design.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
Providence, Rhode Island, established in 1877 and presently consisting of 18 buildings.
Nathan BeaudryHOST
The school offers 12 major courses leading to bachelor's degrees.
Clara LieuHOST
But then after I talk to them, we realize that actually what they need is is a program like art club where you don't have to worry about that degree it's very flexible because we have artists from all around the world in art club and there's flexibility in there and what we do in art club is just as rigorous as some of the conversations you would have at an art degree because i am a former academic Everybody in my staff is trained in art school.
Clara LieuHOST
Kat is teaching at RISD Illustration.
Clara LieuHOST
Lauren has an MFA.
Clara LieuHOST
And it turns out that a lot of self-taught artists who think they need that degree are much better off working with a small group of artists.

Clara LieuHOST
So much of the professional stuff you learn, it's on the job.
Clara LieuHOST
And in some cases, sometimes the art school is not a good match.
Clara LieuHOST
I know Jordan wasn't that happy with his RISD career because they really just didn't have the specialists to learn about character design in digital painting.
Clara LieuHOST
It really wasn't a thing.
Jack CoyneHOST
Yeah.
Legs McNeilGUEST
You know? The Talking Heads were, were, were, were preppies from, um, RISD, you know? You know.
Legs McNeilGUEST
The Heartbreakers were junkies.
Legs McNeilGUEST
The, you know, but, um, Patti Smith was a poet.
Andrew BaerGUEST
So I sent a couple stands of photos.
Andrew BaerGUEST
To the fellow who at that point was the, and still is, I think the director of the photography at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Andrew BaerGUEST
Hoping I'd have talked to him, right? And he emailed back right away and said, wow, these are, I think he said like top shelf.
Andrew BaerGUEST
These are really fantastic.
Daisy McNamaraHOST
You can purchase copies of the book, and I'll happily sign them for you.
Daisy McNamaraHOST

For Seth MacFarland, it was a hangover.
speaker_0HOST
He had been in Boston to give a speech at his alma mater, the Rhode Island School of Design.
speaker_0HOST
His travel agent accidentally wrote down the wrong departure time, and after drinking the night before, he was really hungover.
speaker_0HOST
Quote, I was booked on that flight and I was drinking the night before and hung over and I missed the plane by about 10 minutes.
Darren MarlarHOST
It appears that on March 1, 1925, a thin, dark young man of neurotic and excited aspect had called upon Professor Angel bearing the singular clé bas-relief, which was then exceedingly damp and fresh.
Darren MarlarHOST
His card bore the name of Henry Anthony Wilcox, and my uncle had recognized him as the youngest son of an excellent family slightly known to him who had latterly been studying sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design and living alone at the photoless building near that institution.
Darren MarlarHOST
Wilcox was a precocious youth of known genius but great eccentricity, and had from childhood excited attention to the strange stories and odd dreams he was in the habit of relating.
Darren MarlarHOST
He called himself physically hypersensitive.
Clara LieuHOST
You have to engage with your subject rigorously.
Clara LieuHOST
Like sometimes when I was at RISD, I used to advise students when they were doing independent studies.
Clara LieuHOST
And so that's basically exactly what we're talking about now, which is a year-long project that they're very focused on.
Clara LieuHOST
And so before RISD, I took students on to be their advisor.
Clara LieuHOST
I always said, okay, you got to meet with me first because I have to make sure that you have a series that really is viable for the entire year.
Clara LieuHOST
And I had the student and I met with her and she said, well, I want to explore 20th century ideas.
DeeptiHOST
But recently I started posting some of my animations on TikTok.
DeeptiHOST
And I posted my thesis film, my RISD thesis film from a decade ago on my TikTok.
DeeptiHOST
And it was the thing that did the best.
DeeptiHOST
And it was so surprising to me because it feels so like not good in my eyes 10 years later.
