Should I Get A Fine Art Degree?

A lot of aspiring artists ask me Should I Get A Fine Art Degree if I want to become a professional artist. That is a very important question with potentially life altering consequences. In this video I give you my thoughts on the relative value of a Fine Art Degree and when and why you might want to pursue this... and more importantly what a Fine Art Degree will not do for you.

I would think you could also develop a strong circle of friends and network at school. People from smaller towns, would find that useful.

All you need is private classes for art, one on one classes.

There are many different ways to learn... getting a BFA or MFA... is just about the worst investment of time and money if one wants to become a successful artist... in my humble opinion.

Are you self thought artist?

I have learned an incredible amount from art books and magazines and from a few fabulous instructors and I have a diploma in graphic design but I did not study “Fine Art” at a university or college.
