Local Private Art Schools in Southern California

I thought I'd compile a list of art schools for people. Back in college I'd google different art schools and had a hard time finding them because I was new to the art field. I graduated from UCI so I already had a degree and was not looking for an art degree. What I wanted was art education at a price that I could afford without owing a lot of money in school debt. I still had my UCI school loans to pay off. Hopefully this list of schools will help you out if you are in the same situation that I am in. More bang for your buck right? ;)

Since I've graduated, many schools have opened up. I figured if I compile a list like this it could save a lot of time for people.  Hopefully this list will help people who are looking for art schools to study foundation, painting, drawing, entertainment design, fine arts, etc.

I will update this as I find more....
