Art and Protest: Q&A with Art Academy of Cincinnati’s Head of Illustration, David Michael Butler
Students at the Art Academy of Cincinnati live by the school’s mantra to “Make art, and make a difference.” The school boldly empowers both students and faculty to break rules in favor of punctuating their artistic voice in meaningful ways that resonate. AAC’s Illustration department is symbolic of the school’s approach as a whole. It includes a rigorous curriculum that introduces students to a variety of mediums- from drawing and design to animation and narrative.
