Art college or regular college?

What can I gain for going to an Art College?

  • I have been wanting to go to college for a while but was never set to what college or idea of what to take up. One night I realized that ever since kindergarten I had a natural talent for art. So now I figured an art college would be perfect for me. The thing is I have no idea where I can use art as a career. I mostly sketch but I'm open to all artistic skills. However I have a few questions for those in art colleges... what benefits are there for going to an art college, what careers can I join, what is an art school atmosphere like, what courses should I expect, price on usual supplies, ect. I'm keen on art college and really need some support. Thanks guys :)

There are a lot of fields you can get into out of an art program. It really depends on what you focus your studies on, and what internships you do. But some ideas: art teacher, art professor (would need an MFA), scenic designer for theater or film, animator, storyboard artist for advertising or film/tv, graphic arts, tattoo artist (you'd also need an apprenticeship), art therapy, photographer, landscape design, illustrator, architect, textile design... There are a lot of potential options, some of which require a major in a field of art, others which require a more technical major (architecture, for example). Some of the pure art schools are really good. Avoid the AI chain of schools, because they do not have a good rep and they are very expensive. Know that you can often find amazing art programs within broad universities, so you aren't necessarily required to go to a pure art school. And even look at the good public unis in your home state. Some of them have great art programs, and you'd get the lower, in-state rate on tuition, saving you a lot of money. Examples of good art schools, and schools with great art programs: Syracuse, U North Carolina School of the Arts, Parsons, Pratt, Mass Art, Cal Arts, Herron, Maryland Institute, UCLA, Virginia Commonwealth, Ohio State, RISD, SAIC Chicago (not part of the AI chain), Temple, SVA, Hunter College, RIT, UC Davis, U Iowa, Arizona State, Rutgers New Brunswick, and tons more. These are just some examples to get you thinking.
