The raw, sexual energy in this comercial is unbearable.

I did this in 1970 or 1980 and started classes LoL

Dude I just googled this cause I told my gf the story about how I called this and pretended to be an adult to get the packet and I got a lady to come to my house and my mom said no but I always wondered if this was a scam. This was so nostalgic holy shit

:( i miss the old days.

Music had no reason being so chilled but it was soothing.

LoL, I actually found this ad in a magazine in the 1980s drew the sketch a representative came to our house for the school and signed me up for art classes. I drew assignments and mailed them in weekly until my mother said we could not afford them anymore. It was fun tho Still drawing today!

Hi thanks that bear she's drawing has haunted me for the past ten years and I'd never heard anybody talk about this so thank you for posting it

This was a scam before scams were a thing.

I lived in the country and we didn’t have cable. I remember hearing this song playing at about 2-3:00 am as a kid. The nastslgia rushed back to me when I finally found this commercial today. I remember the purple car painting and was looking up on Google and could never find it. Now I see it was a art institute commercial!!

cahl fer yur frwee yart tesht

I don't remember this one.. I remember one where he say something like "do you like to draw? Or just sketch and doodle?" I sent so many of these in as a kid.. never heard anything back. Lol. I guess their experts decided that I sucked.😂

I graduated Art Instruction School 2006. It was fun. I took art classes as much as I could all through my school year's so my favorite teacher and friend in High school was my art teacher.

This school sucked a$$ like anything. I lost so much money on them. I am so happy that they went out of business.

Why do I think he says the word "drama!" in this commercial?

Thank God I take the test because they helped me to keep my dream come true and I been drawing and painting , since back then , ink , oils , color pencils , I’m really happy for what I learn from art instruction school , and I want to keep painting and making art while I can . 🎨

I remember these commercials from my early childhood. I believe they played this commercial throughout the '80s. I'll never forget the music. It was so soothing; I loved it! Thanks for the upload!

Deberían regresar 👍

The only good thing about these commercials was the music background (from the 1980s version) very lovely

Nostalgic. I remember that funny little "art test", too. 😁😅😅

I took this test back in 2001 and scored a 98% on my test. I just recently found out from an art teacher that they were paid by Disney and Pixar to scout for new artists back then. I wished I would have took the art classes

This crushed my dreams of ever being an artist. Long story short, I took the test and got the results back saying I was good but because of my age they couldn't accept me. Before then, all I wanted to do was draw and be an artist one day but being rejected at that age really discouraged from ever drawing again. Honestly, f*ck this school and glad they closed down. Thanks for crushing my childhood dreams.

I remember this. Crushed my hopes dreams of being an artist. I was 13 years old. I took the test and scored a 98 percent. A guy came out to recruit me. I was so happy. He then took a bunch of my other artwork told me and my mom i would be the next person to draw the peanuts cartoon. Better known as charlie brown. He left us a phone number and it turned out to be a fake. I never had interest in art again after that day. It was a horrible and traumatizing experience for a young child. It ruined my self esteem and changed the way i thought about life. Whoever that guy was its a good thing the school closed.

Whoever disliked this video has no art skills

I don't know why this school is closed...

Me: Mom, can we have Steve Martin? Mom: No, we have Steve Martin at home Steve Martin at home:

Man, this commercial brought me back to Saturday mornings in the '80s.

Who remembers seeing this ad on Nickelodeon back in the day?

I remember I first saw this commercial at about 2 in the morning while watching Nick at Nite around '94 or '95. I actually tried to fill out the form to attend the school.

Someone splice in Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son into the intro!

I did call and they send me that exact paper, I was 12 years old, I got approved but because of my age I couldn't go... I was really excited when I receive a tipe of diploma saying that I was approved through mail. I really want it to try again but I think they close the school ☹️

I did the test with them i end it up knowing someone from art instruction school and all was a fucking scam!!

I always loved the last piece of art shown here - the vintage car on the side of the beach. Wish I knew the artist!

R.I.P. Paul Phillips.

Love the jazz music so soothing.

i remeber this one it ran allot on the usa network. in the 80's.

The video's quality was really clear and modern for its time. It's aged well.

Good times!

this seems like one of those for profit scam schools like trump university

MAN memories sitting at my grandma"s house watching saturday morning cartoons :)

I always liked the beginning with the sound affects with the pictures. The ship was my favorite.

I saw this on May 21, 2003 during Montel on WWOR

AIS my favorite art school the oldest art school I think, I knew.

Incredible. I saw this when I was a 5 year old 90s kid and never thought I'd see it again.

I don't know why I like this commercial so much.

Anyone know this track name?

Finally found the commercial. I'm so ready to sign up

When I was a kid I thought the guy was Steve Martin

It's been 7 years and I still remember this

I remember this exact commercial used to play on channel 52 KBSC in Los Angeles during cartoons and Doctor Who. when I heard this music again it brought back a flood of memories of that time when I used to watch cartoons while doing homework.
