Message Board Topic: Art School

What are the benefits of attending an art college? What are the downsides? Are you interested in attending an art college? Why or why not? What will be your major (even if you are not entering an art school)?

We have seen several presentations this year from schools - which ones impacted you the most? Why?

  3. Going to an art school is very helpful because it helps to learn about wheatever you are studying. I was interested in Columbia because its a really good art school. I would major in Photography.

  5. The benefits would be doing what you love, and advancing your artistic skills. I don't know thw downsides, and I'm probably not going to attend an art college...just 'cause I don't even really need to be in college to be a tattoo artist. We'll see what happens.

  6. you can pursue in someting you really love and learn new things. You can't get credits for other subjects.

  7. i think art school would be a more fun and expressive way in school, but may not really be the best if you don't have natural skills.. i don't have any plans yet.

  8. I think if you go to an art college you have a better chance at getting a good solid job in the art field as apposed to going to a regular college and do extra stuff in art. I would love to go to an art college specifically the Art Institute in Cgicago.

  10. I am going to Columbia College in Chicago to study fiction writing. I think the benefits of art school are that it better prepares you for the industry but at the cost of being well rounded. the presentations from this year didn't impact me much.

  11. Art is pretty fun and expressive but the jobs can be demanding and the pay acn be little. I've only seen the one presentation this year. I do plan on going to a Art College and I hope to major in illustrations or something like that.

  12. I think art school can benefit people going into an art job. But it's not a very vercitile major to take. I'm majoring in mechanical engineering in 3D printing and graphic design.

  14. Art is something that i think anyone can relate to and if someone is really passionate about art they can go to school for whatever there interested in, however, jobs in the art area after college are very low.
