Art Instruction Schools - 2000 60 second commercial

60 second commercial ran in 2000.

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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.

im about to sent the letter that i want to join so i can take my first lesson XD i wish this really works

[@ruzuchan7716]

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 ☹️

[@neilolsen342]

They didnt do a correspondance course with you? They did with me! I drew the bear and a rep came out to recruit me and and I did all the work at home and mailed it in! Never did finish it! Hope they survived the riots!

[@bens3767]

Did anyone ever complete the course I quit when I found out the credits weren't college transferrable. Was pretty much a cash grab looking back

[@zakataksbizarreworld1844]

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

[@kingmartino83]

how do you like it... i just started it today... do it work for you... let me know whats up...

[@schuylerbuffington1646]

I tried. It didn't work for me. Sorry it took me 13 years to get back to you. I was having a really good time in 2010.

[@usavideosvideos5264]

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