The first warm day of spring at the Minneapolis School of Art was the same then as it is today at MCAD. Except, now you can sit on the steps and look at  these old pictures on your ipad. Are you out there?  Look at more old students on the MCAD Library’s Flickr set.

See more of the Minneapolis School of Art, our former self, in the old days of black and white film, indoor smoking, bookshelves to the ceilings and more formal clothing.  Go to the MCAD Archives Flickr Collection at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/69184488@N06/collections/72157628207051069/

MCAD main building atrium animation by Claire Strautmanis. Each frame drawn from observation! (Wait, did you catch that… each… individual… frame… drawn from observation. No rotoscoping here peeps.) So. Cool!!

[Update for the non-believers: Yes. This IS drawn from observation. It is NOT rotoscoped.]

A full on bog was installed on the roof of our entrance today. #art #mcad #bogs (Taken with Instagram at Minneapolis College of Art & Design)

It’s a really pretty bog! I love the fluffy white flowering grasses in it!

I kind of want to sneak a garden gnome or a plastic flamingo thingy up there…

I also really hope it stays!

YES

BOG

100% PERF

things I miss about MCAD

this is amazing! That space is perfect for it.

MCAD Morisson building view from 2nd St. looking north. Featuring a very old car (Ford Model T??) when it was a very new car. Super cool. Circa 1910’s. MCAD was then known as the Minneapolis School of Art.

Bougie party on the MCAD concourse level. @ 1974. So much fashion! ♥

Mid nineteen seventies view of the fourth floor of the main MCAD building lengthwise. This view doesn’t exist now because of the fourth floor print critique area. Bummer. 

MCAD media arts peeps. 1985. Possibly the best photo ever taken. ♥

MCAD computer labs. Circa 1984.
