I'm going to college to do A-levels in Combined English, Psychology, Photography and Religion this September. When I'm older, I know I either want to be an Art Therapist, Psychologist or Photographer.
I'm leaning more towards the Art Therapist, and I've done a lot of research, but I still don't understand properly. I understand that you need to complete a postgraduate diploma or Masters approved by the British Association of Art Therapists.
After my A-levels, do I need to do an undergraduate course in an Art or Psychology subject, and then a postgraduate course in Art Therapy? I've read that you must have a degree in an Art related subject, does that mean I'd have to do Art after my A-levels, and not Psychology? Would a degree in Photography be accepted?
I suppose I don't understand the difference between undergraduate and postgraduate either. Do you get a degree on a undergraduate course, or just a postgraduate?
Sorry if this makes no sense, I'm all confused.
Art Therapist?
Hi, I too was going to go into Art Therapy but I changed to School Psychology.
Where do you live? If you live in the U.S., then you don't need to be approved by the British Association of Art Therapist. You need to be approved by the American Art Therapy Association. http://www.arttherapy.org/

Undergraduate is the first 4 years of college (Associate degree and Bachelor degree) and postgraduate is your graduate student years (Master's and PhD levels).

Art project...art deco/art novae...Bob Dylan?
Hi.
I have an art project (painting) of art deco or art novae(sp?) and the person i'm doing is Bob Dylan. I have the quote "No one is free, even the birds are chained to the sky" and i have bob dylan standing and a bird in the sky. origionally i had a chain linking dylan and the bird and i have one where three big links connect the "e" from "free" and the "e" from "even" and then the bird is flying and dylan is standing there. Maybe a cat at the bottom showing the bird cannot land. im not a good artist and i dont really find that i like many of the art novae/deco posters but it is my assignment. I need further help because im not sure what to do with my design to make it more art deco/noveau....thank you.
Art project...art deco/art novae...Bob Dylan?
art noveau (pronounced: New Vo)
We don't always get what we want .... is the greatest line from any Dylan song. It is so true. It is meaningful and it applies to every generation.
I would see Bob reaching for something he really wants in the deco age and in the noveau age. but it is always just out of reach.

Is Art "Art" if more than 67% don't get/appreciate/like it?
Many developed countries fund art and in the cases of large buildings force a % of that development to be set aside for a public art piece out the front.
1) Why should a commercial building be forced to put art out the front, but not a beach, or a cafe or any other thing.
2) If the art is so wildly conceptual as to be unappealing to more than 67% of a population (More than 1 standard deviation above norm), why should that art be subsidised
3) If an artist intends to make a commercial living from their art, shouldn't the artist survive on the saleability of their art on not on handouts?
Is Art "Art" if more than 67% don't get/appreciate/like it?
as long as the artist enjoys the work it is art no matter how much everybody else hates it. Althoug no one should be forced to put there art where they don't want it.
Reply:Are you a "young republican" by any chance? Art is not about popularity and/or money. It's about giving a glimpse of the "truth" to the morons who voted for bush, and other cretin types.
I can't believe only *67%* don't get it from my experience of the species. The species needs a huge consciousness upgrade for it and the planet to survive !!
Art is about reconnecting your shriveled soul back to/with "Source". Do you GET that? :))
Reply:Art is art even if no one likes it. It just isn't well liked art or popular art or generally accepted art. But of course it's still art.
1) I don't know how it is in other countries, but In the US, in every state that I've heard of, only state buildings (universities, etc.) are subject to the funding for art program. Commercial buildings never receive it. Also, the use of the funds can be declined, so the State buildings that use art are not forced, but elect to have the art. I think the only reason a cafe and/or a beach isn't forced to have art is because there isn't enough money to provide for absolutely every place. If I were the owner of a cafe or of a beach, I'd jump at the chance to have the government provide my place of business with some art. As a member of the public, I'd love it if every cafe had art and every beach had art, but I can't imagine the government providing the money to make that happen. The policy of granting state money (at least here in the US) was established by people who were elected democratically; the same representatives can also change the policy if they choose. I've never heard of anyone objecting to having the government pay for art in buildings before - I have heard of controversies surrounding which artist, which artwork gets chosen to receive the commission or sale, of course. It sounds like things are very different where you live.
2) In my state, in the US, anyone can submit a portfolio to the State Arts board. When a building is constructed, the State Arts board requests representation from the workers who are inhabiting the building and the community that will be using the building, and a decision is made by consultation among these representatives. Hard to get more democratic than that unless you put it to a whole community vote.
3) that's a good question, and if the process of government funding of arts is as democratic as it seems to be here, then the answer is that the sale of the artist's work is still the determining factor in the artist's sucess, even if the government is the buyer. That's the key - is the populace truly represented by the government or not? If the populace is genuinely represented by the government, then the government's purchase of artwork is no different than any other purchase of artwork. So that really raises another question - are policies THAT authoritarian where you are? Or is it possible they are more democratic than you realize and that people within the government or representatives of the communities involved are freely choosing art that you just happen not to appreciate?

Art or economics?? I need a fairly non biast opinion.?
Nxt year 4 my subjects @ scool its compulsury to take maths, english nd science nd we choose 3 options -history, french and im having trouble deciding btween art and economics 4 my 3rd. Ive taken eco. 4 the last 2 years and its probably 1 of my strongst subject but although i sometimes like it, i can find it so daunting. Im thinking bout piking up art nxt year but i am a lil concerned. I can draw etc. but im not amazing. I realy like art but i get really frustrated with it wen it doesnt go my way. Art is so much work because u have 2 do a portfolio. some people fail all there otha subjects when they take art because they just become so dedicated and im worried that will happen 2 me. Im in the top stream nxt year and i dont want 2 fall bhind. ive spoken 2 the the head of art and she says that as long as i work hard i will be fine. All the people i know that r doing art luv it. Eco is what im good at, nd i like havin it as my backup but its just so boring sometimes. wat shuld i do?!?!
Art or economics?? I need a fairly non biast opinion.?
Economics
It is not boring at all.
It is the basics of everything.
Think about the advantages of having a price system, and all the information a quantity demand graph can show you.
This class teaches you essential concepts that you will use in the future and it also helps you create logic explanations.
Through economics you can predict certain outcomes, and even behavior.
100% Econ.
Good luck :]!
Reply:art would be more time-consuming in the sense that it is more hands-on as compared to economics. the coursework would require much dedication and commitment, and if you are not VERY keen on taking art, i would advise you not to take it. what syllabus of history are you taking? because economic history is inclusive in the syllabus i'm taking, i regretted not picking econs as it would have helped a lot. plus we can really apply economics anywhere anytime. it'll be useful. all the best :)

Art prob with parents?
if you love visual arts so badly, you cant survive without doing it, and you are banned from doing anything related to art because your parents say so, what will you do?
let's say you are not too bad at art, and you're only 15. but you really want to go to art college and get a job in life related to it, even though everyone tells you you won't get paid well and all those stuff. i mean, if you were to tell someone your dream is to be a painter or designer or something like that, they'll only say " it wont earn you big bucks. you'll be lucky in your hundreds if you're an artist. if i were you i'd just be something like a lawyer or doctor. just treat art like a hobby. " but you know that art as only a 'hobby' is not what you're looking for. okay, you get the idea, so what are you going to do if you're banned from doing it, and most likely aren't going to be allowed to go to an art school in the future? i'm really affected, please help.
Art prob with parents?
Do it anyway. They cannot stop your creativity. Keep doing it, and do it well. Talk to art teachers at school. Sometimes, they are able to help out with the parental situation. As for college, there are scholarships and loans available.
You're right about the money. It can take a long time to make money.
I just graduated from art school in May. I work odd jobs and still create. That's what I love and that's what I will continue to do.
I have a show in August. It's my first one since college.
They key is staying out of debt.. and minimizing your expenses.
Just start saving your money now.. birthday, christmas, etc. And try selling your art now. There are tons of websites to do this and being in high shcool, I'm sure you have art shows, or something similar.
Good luck to you.
If you want to talk, you can catch me on AIM at thaicycle212.
Reply:I went through the same thing somewhat, I'm a writer and my dad told me that I will never make it as a writer, it's too hard to make it such a field. He wanted me to be like him a teacher, like the term "Father like Son" says, but that wasn't what I wanted to do. My dreams and goals we're to become a writer, but he told me the very same thing your parents are telling you, now I'm 40 and I have a publishing career with Random House, so if it's something you really want to do, and if it's a passion of yours then do it, I know it's going to be very hard getting to where you want to be in the field of art, the art field is one of the hardest fields to get into whether you're a writer, musician, an artist, an actor or even a dancer, any part field is hard, but the only thing that keeps us going is the love we have for it, and the determination and will to get there, so good luck with everything, and just keep your head up and keep going strong, because it's more than a hobby its a passion.
Reply:Try becoming a teacher, and eventually after graduating from that go into an elective and hopefully get hooked on to an art programme with the school..
Reply:I have several friends who are artists.
Allow me a momet to "paint a picture" if you will.
One is a very gifted creative photographer. She does very fine art photography and includes other media in her work.
In order to pay the bills, she works during the day doing rather repetitive,, photo related work, but it is a job. It is not the thing she loves. She now does this rather than the graphics design work she used to do, as her vision of what was a good design was not always what the company wanted.
What she loves...THAT is what she does on her time.
So, my only caveat to you is that while art college or classes are great for honing your craft and affording you the ability to express yourself in new ways, the work for people with these degrees tends to be limited in several ways.
The job title ARTIST, is somewhat rare. In the historical sense of the word, to be an artist meant you had a patron, someone who gave you money to make art just for them.
If they were smart, and you were good, they left you alone to "do your thing". If they were snooty, then you painted, sculpted etc. what they told you to do.
If you work in a graphics design company, you will be creating art for assignments. You may or may not have creative control.
Now I don;t tell you these things to say you cannot do art, only that if you do find work in the art field, you may not have control over what you create. Be ready for that. You could be someone who gets very lucky and is about to become an 'artist'. There is a reason they used to be called "starving artists!"
If you have not done so already, look into your local county fair (they have them even in the big cities) and usually you can look in the counties that touch your, and enter things. Whatever media you work in, there will be an entry for it. The county fair in Marin Cal. (home of Lucas and star wars) even allows entries from nationwide in some areas!
Enter contests and events where you can showcase, and get feedback. II am pleased to say that I have a number of blue ribbons for my leatherwork and boots, as well as my textile work.
It might seem hokey, but it does get your name out there- and your art gets seen.
If your folks will not let you do art related activities at home, consider talking to a friend and see if it is possible to use their garage, basement, whatever.
Now finally, given that art is in the eye of the beholder and creator, perhaps the art you are choosing to do does not meet your parents "definition" or sense of art. In this case, here is the opportunity for you to begin learning what people will like/buy/support you at!
Are you able to make something that your parents DO approve of? The great debate in art is "do I make it for ME? do I make it for the money?" (a girl has to eat!)
Good luck, and stay creative

Reply:hey i am the perfect person to ask about this. i come from a very science oriented family. my grandpa is a mechanical engineer and so is my dad and my mom is a cheical engineer and my aunt a nurse. soo eveyrone really wanted me to be somewhere in the science field where they said that i could actually earn money. they would have paid for my college to do so. instead i broke free and decided to go for what i absolutely love. i decided to become an art major and i currently am. i just told them one day and i stuck to it. they were very upset and now i have to pay for college out of pocket with absolutely no help. i am happy with my decision and well i get by. i sell a few paintings and i have a job. i say that if you really love this and are serious about it then go for it. there will be lots of hard work with few rewards but i am happy with my choice
Reply:I went to design school. A lot of the people there had the same problem you have. Some just went ahead and did art anyways, but others were able to convince their parents that you can make a decent living.
You can earn decent money! As long as you choose a design field where you learn computer programs (learning a 3D cad program, or a web design program are the best), you can do just fine. And don't worry, you still get to draw and create in design.
A lot of parents only think art is putting some painting up in a gallery, and starving on the street. It's just not true, and you can convince them if you're mature and reasonable about it.
Who do you think designs cell phones for Nokia? Toys for Disney? Ipods for Apple? Packaging for Nestle Foods? Cars for Toyota? Creative designers do! Yay!
Start showing them brochures of serious design programs. And here, below is a link to payscales for designers, and this site, Coroflot, also has a lot of information on design.
Reply:Get good enough at art so you will get a scholarship. Work hard enough in finding out yourself what you have to do to get one. Try if you can get internships in galleries, see if there are any art community projects you can get involved in (in the town I live they actually have a program for teenagers where they can work for the summer with an artist and get even payed some pocketmoney for it). Look for art related opportunities where you live. Practise and read books about it. Talk to your art teacher for advice and extra assignments. There is lots you can do even before you go to art school.
If you really want to do it, you can do it, but you should not expect any financial help from your parents to help you achieve an aim they don't believe is good for you. But if you can earn it by yourself you can go for it. But you need to show that you can bear the financial responsibility for it.
But they are right in this: it will be tough, and you may not get a job which is art related anyway, but then you may and you won't know unless you try.
Also if it doesn't work out right now, you can always go back to school at any stage later in life. Especially in art school it is not uncommon to have a number of mature students of any age.
Reply:Thai said it very well. I'm a parent, and would never tell my kids they couldn't do something, they wanted to do. Running the risk of undermining your parents, follow your hart and do what your hart tells you to do. If you have such a burning desire to do this, get off your butt and do it.
Good luck
Reply:I'm an older artist/mom who never really went to art school but have stayed in the arts off and on ever since I was a child. If you have a passion for the arts, drawing/painting or whatever than it will never leave you no matter what your parents say. I ifnd it hard to believe that your parents won't even allow you to draw. It is extremely hard to find a job in art-related fields unless you go into the graphics field or become an art teacher. There are a lot of students who graduate in the arts and end up working at a job that isn't related at all to their degree. I'm not saying that this would happen to you but the smart thing to do would be to go to college and get a degree in something that you can find a job in and minor in arts. You can always find workshops and night classes in art and it's the one area in your life that doesn't require a teacher. The more you paint/draw the more you will improve, plus there are great books at Amazon.com. Also, there are online art schools not to mention great websites like wetcanvas.com that will have wonderful sources for you and any artist, beginning or otherwise. If you really feel like an artist in your soul then you won't let anyone disuade you from it and, no matter how good you are, the artist in you will come out in one way or another. Good luck, Diane

But they are right in this: it will be tough, and you may not get a job which is art related anyway, but then you may and you won't know unless you try.
Also if it doesn't work out right now, you can always go back to school at any stage later in life. Especially in art school it is not uncommon to have a number of mature students of any age.
Reply:Thai said it very well. I'm a parent, and would never tell my kids they couldn't do something, they wanted to do. Running the risk of undermining your parents, follow your hart and do what your hart tells you to do. If you have such a burning desire to do this, get off your butt and do it.
Good luck
Reply:I'm an older artist/mom who never really went to art school but have stayed in the arts off and on ever since I was a child. If you have a passion for the arts, drawing/painting or whatever than it will never leave you no matter what your parents say. I ifnd it hard to believe that your parents won't even allow you to draw. It is extremely hard to find a job in art-related fields unless you go into the graphics field or become an art teacher. There are a lot of students who graduate in the arts and end up working at a job that isn't related at all to their degree. I'm not saying that this would happen to you but the smart thing to do would be to go to college and get a degree in something that you can find a job in and minor in arts. You can always find workshops and night classes in art and it's the one area in your life that doesn't require a teacher. The more you paint/draw the more you will improve, plus there are great books at Amazon.com. Also, there are online art schools not to mention great websites like wetcanvas.com that will have wonderful sources for you and any artist, beginning or otherwise. If you really feel like an artist in your soul then you won't let anyone disuade you from it and, no matter how good you are, the artist in you will come out in one way or another. Good luck, Diane
Art teacher?
hi, my degree was in media arts and visual arts, i studied mainly conceptual fine art, so did things like turning a tv inside out and mainly focused on photography. i graduated 6 years ago been teaching esl since.
what skills does it take in order to be an art teacher? i might study an art pgce, however im not sure if i have the right skills and may have to do an art foundation to brush up on my painting skills, however thats too much time and too much money. so what should i do? i found a masters in education and creative arts, was considering this. then a pgce. otherwise what are my career options?
Art teacher?
Why not contact a school and go in and have a look at art lessons. Some areas have " get into teaching" days when prospective teachers go in and look around.
These tend to be better schools, if you go to one of these days remember that not all schools will be as good. You might also ask about GTP courses.
Reply:This answer had to be selected by voters. As a former teacher I suspect that someone who can't be bothered to tick a best answer or even no best answer, just wont have the "get up and go" needed to follow the advice above. Report It

Art college?
hi erm, can anyone suggest to me some universities or colleges for arts?
i would like to know more art colleges or universities or academies all over the world. by 'art' i mean visual arts, but since art schools have all types of art, so whatever art schools are fine. just tell me, i wanna know. and tell me how you think about the school and stuff, you know.
Art college?
I went to the Art Institute of Pittsburgh for a little. AI is a great school with many locations and many different fields of art to study. I was not a fan of the city of Pittsburgh so if I had to do it all over again I would have gone to the AI of Seattle like I first wanted to do.

Good luck fellow artist!!

What is art.....?
if thinking that it's art makes it so, can i nominate that cloud as art?
is it only art if i modify it in some way? what if i film that cloud and then project it as a hologram?
is it only art if one of the guardians of art have validated it by their approval and recognition.
is the concept of art meaningless?
is it all an ego racket: ie is there no difference between climbing the greasy pole of art as opposed to climbing the greasy pole of money?
arent art and money interchangeable?
dont the wealthy patron-ize art
and arty patron-ize money
all you need is the media to create the unholy trinity!
What is art.....?
Yes, the current trend of art is art 'to make you think.' That cloud you are looking at can be art, as long as you can somehow get it into a gallery and make up some bogus meaning for it. I think that true art, art with real emotions and/or beauty, is dying a slow death. When art becomes something purely to interpret, then it can be anything, reguardless of what it is, if it took time or talent. Modern art disgusts me.

Just because something is accepted as being art, that does not convey any value to it; art can be commercial, or shallow, or evil, or ugly, or noble – anything that a human being can be, art can be.
So I have made my personal definition of art this:
Art is celebration. Good art is the celebration of a good mind, and great art is the celebration of a great mind.
Everything we create is revealing one thing only: what it is that turns us on. Knowing this, we can tell the charlatans and the fakes from sincere artists.

Should I go to art school?
I'm a junior in high school and I'm beginning to look at colleges. I have 3.89 GPA, descent SAT scores, a pretty good transcript so far . The problem is that I hate school, I hate all my classes except for english and art. But my passion is for art, I'm told I'm good and that art school is definitely something to consider. I'm currently in AP studio art and I love it. But some say that going to an Art college would be a waste of talent in my other subjects, what they consider to be a real future. I believe that I would hate to anything else besides art as a career. I do drawing, painting, film, photography, and graphic design, art is what I enjoy. My parents aren't very supporting in this, they think art school will be too limiting. But I'm convinced that going to an art school is the only way I can be happy. Should I follow my dream of a career in art? Or should I play it safe, go to a college with an art program and hope that will be enough?
Should I go to art school?
I say you should get two different degrees. I wouldn't suggest going to school for English because being an English teacher is the worst armpit job in the world and trying to work as a writer is almost as hard as being a visual artist anyway. I think you should first get your liberal arts out of the way and then get degrees focusing on: graphic design, photography or illustration. You should get more than one degree, and make sure to eventually get an MFA and good internships at a good school. These are all fields in which you can easily make a decent living and get a job. Some include: teacher, photographer for a magazine or small publication, photographer or graphic designer for a well renowned website, comic book illustrator, illustratr of books, freelance photography or graphic design, illustrations for magazines websites, video game illustration, film illustration, etc...My only advice to you is, that if you choose art, you need to become the best, and you need to have variety so that you have a wide variety of options.
Reply:If you want to get a degree in Art go for it....You can eventually become an Art teacher, or if you get a degree in computer arts or graphic arts (if you are good at that) then there is a vast amount of jobs available....Companies always need people to design computer graphics for their commercials, websites and such....
I'd say go for what you want to do and what you like doing....not necessarily what you are good at.....I am going to school to get a degree in Physical Education and Health and hope to be an Elementary PE Teacher....My counselor and parents said I should go for politics or history because I am VERY VERY good at it in school but I figured if I am going to do a job for 40-50 years I want to do something I like not necessarily what I'm good at during school...
Reply:There is no correct answer for your question other than the answer that you yourself will give it, over time. I went to a liberal arts college and now work as a professional artist with a painting studio in North Carolina. It's possible that I wouldn't have been able to do this had I gone to art school, because going to a liberal arts school actually helped me to learn about economics, and to relate to people interested in different things, which is necessary in order to sell art. Regardless of what you choose to do, you should always keep making your art. That passion will help no matter what you do for work. Good luck!
Reply:I think you should go for a Liberal Arts degree. You can't believe how easy it is to get a job when you have this degree in your hand.
Reply:If you are interested in graphic design, I would recommend going to a college or university and not an art school. The reason? Think about the job of a designer: your clients will be scientists and business owners and cultural organizations and accountants and. . . . the point is, having a well-rounded education will give you a better foundation for talking with these people and anticipating what their needs and problems and possibilities might be.
Even if you intend to be in the fine arts (which doesn't sound like your plan) think about the fact that your art is going to have a subject. The more you know about psychology and history and other subjects, the more you will be able to convey in your artwork. Think about the fact that artists have to have business skills to balance their checkbook, public speaking skills to persuasively talk to others about their work, writing skills to prepare contacts with galleries, or communicate deadlines and other information to printers and photographers and others they'll be working with.
All these skills can mean the difference between success in your art career or not. Becoming a better artist is only one piece of the puzzle.
As far as being an art teacher, there will be lots of competition for those jobs. If you are thinking elementary or secondary teaching, having skills in another area may help you land the teaching job.
Don't assume you are playing it safe by going to college. It may be the best challenge you ever faced.
Reply:It depends:
If you want a job that pays, no.
If you really like drawing and you just want to have fun in your career, yes.

Art history major/ art schools?
Does anybody have any advice on art schools? I paint as a hobby, but I want to have a career in art history more than anything. I'd like to work in a museum. I have been reading art history books for years and I work hard at school. I am only a freshman at a regular liberal arts school and it's not my kind of place. I want to go to the Savannah College of Art and Design, but it's so expensive, so it will have to wait until I'm ready for my masters. Does anyone have any info on good ways to work your way up to a high level job like a curator or museum director? I won't settle for a job outside the arts. So what are musuems looking for, for hires?
Art history major/ art schools?
Go to a museum and ask. That's the best way. Art colleges are private institutes so they will all cost a lot of money. You can always go to a state college. They tend to have art history programs and degrees. They should be just as good especially for larger universities.
1) Go to a museum and ask about careers and requirements
2) Go to large state university to get degree in your interest
3) Work internship while attending university
4) Get job after finishing your degree

Art Vs. Porn?
Where do you draw the line between what you consider art and/or erotic or sensual art, and pornography?
What do you consider 'over the line'?
I am not calling porn art. I am just wondering where, for you, you would stop considering something to be art. Like a nude would be art, or a sensual painting would be art, but something else would be considered porn. Where is the line?
Where do you stop calling it art, and start calling it porn?
I am asking this here, because you all seem to be thinking individuals.
Art Vs. Porn?
Porn has two purposes, to arouse sexual feelings and provide the creator with money. It may be artistic and beautifully crafted, but that is secondary to its real purpose, to arouse and make money. Some art is porn, but porn is never art.
Art can be erotic and sexual, but its intention goes beyond that. The artist doesn't create to titillate; the artist creates to communicate.
Don't go by societal definitions of porn and art. Soon, society will not even differentiate between the two. When this happens, art loses, not porn. Society loses because a society without some general consensus about the distinguising characteristics between art and porn is a society soon to vanish into history.
Reply:There's no true distinction. I'd say the only possible one is intent when created, but really there is no definition you can make that all will agree upon.
Reply:The difference to me is subtle at times. Art has never aroused me... in that way. However, art is meant to evoke emotion and arousal is a strong force so an artist may attempt to arouse as a way of making a point.
I guess the only sure thing is to go off what the artist or photographers claim.
Reply:Porn is focused on titilating it's audience through graphic display of sexuality, or sexual acts.
Art is designed to please the eye with inherent or expressed beauty of form, and /or to communicate a message to the mind or to elicit an emotional response graphically.
It is both in the intent of the artist, and in the eye of the beholder. Porn can be well crafted and appreciated for the beauty inherent in it, and art done as art can elicit lustful ideas in a viewer so inclined.
Only the"artist", and the viewer decide what they put into and get out of any work. Regardless of what you make or view, keep your intent pure because God reads hearts and minds.

Reply:One way I have heard is to say, Would I put this out on my coffee table for my grandmother to see? Or, would I be upset if my child saw this? I think intent is also necessary; was the person who created the photograph, statue, painting, writing, intending to sexually arouse or to intellectually arouse. There is a big difference there.

Art of the Fantastic? Fantastic Art?

Is Art of the Fantastic and Fantastic Art the same?
Can any of you give me examples of artists?
I'm doing Art of the Fantastic but I tried looking and this is the only site that I found that says ' Art of the Fantastic' the others only say 'Fantastic Art' with no reference or connection to 'Art of the Fantastic'.
Art of the Fantastic? Fantastic Art?
That has to be the worst description of art and the styles of painting for that era. I am not sure of the exact answer of your question but, I had to say don't bother with that web site. Whoever wrote that obviously has no idea what art is or what the artists were working to achieve. They actually speak of Freud as if he had anything to do with any art form. Art is not just about realism it seems silly to paint a picture of something you can just take a picture of that's why we have cameras. True artists can go beyond realism as a surreal artist is truly one of great talent and has a deeper understanding of what art is. Don't waste your time with that web site I am surprised that such ignorance still exists.
Reply:Go to Jon Beinarts Surreal Art Collective site. He has sections on fantastic, visionary, and surreal art. There are also some artists on www.myartspace.com that fall under fantastic art, Godfrey Blow for example.

Computer art and design?
Computer art includes image, sound, animation, videogame, web site, etc.
But what does computer in the arts and design include? Is it just the image part or does it include sound? You can’t really design sound…can you?
From Wikipedia:
“Computer art is any art in which computers played a role in production or display of the artwork.”
What is computer art? I get the production part. If it’s produced by a computer then for sure it’s computer art. But what if it’s drawn and then part of it is edited on computer? Is that computer art? What if you draw something and scan it on the computer? It’s displayed on the computer so does that make it computer art? What if I draw it, scan it to the computer, then print it out? It’s not displayed on the computer…does that make it not computer art?
Computer art and design?
What is Art? That really seems to be the core of the issue. You can look on Wikipedia for that.
But what does computer in the arts and design include?
The computer can manipulate images, sounds, and create 3D objects. Programs like Photoshop and manipulate 2D images and drawings. Programs like Blender can manipulate 3D images.
You can’t really design sound…can you?
Absolutely...Ben Burt is the first person to be designated a sound designer. He's most famous for doing Star Wars and Indiana Jones sound. You design sounds by adding atmosphere..like adding a TV, dog's barking, ambulances, etc. Also, music is a form of art on the computer.
But what if it’s drawn and then part of it is edited on computer? Is that computer art? What if you draw something and scan it on the computer? It’s displayed on the computer so does that make it computer art? What if I draw it, scan it to the computer, then print it out?
Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, it's still computer art because the computer was involved.
It’s not displayed on the computer…does that make it not computer art?
No, it's still computer art.
Don't get too hung up on labels like Computer Art. Thing of it as art, but it just uses a different tool. If I invent a device that allows me to apply food coloring to a canvas and I use it to create a picture, does that make it food coloring art or is it just art?

Is art synonymous with beauty? Art=Beauty and Beauty=Art. What I consider Art or Beauty is someone else's Porn
Please see my associated question: FOR SOMETHING TO BE EROTIC, SHOULDN'T IT BE BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLDER--REQUISITE FOR EROTIC IS BEAUTY OR CUTENESS? This question as to whether art which to someone is beautiful, and hence should be regarded as ART but is ugly or offensive to somebody else (or SOME OTHER GROUP) and is therefore considered by THAT SOMEBODY or that SOME OTHER GROUP TO BE PORN (such as some group might view a girl in a bikini as PORNOGRAPHIC) has not been satisfactorily resolved! Moreover, am I to let ANY GROUP WHICH DEEMS MY ART TO BE PORN TO IMPOSE ITS VIEW ON ME? Since SOMETHING CANNOT BE EROTIC
OR PORNOGRAPHIC IF IT'S NOT BEAUTIFUL, and ART also
HAS THE SAME NECESSARY REQUIREMENT FOR BEING
BEAUTIFUL, IT SHOULD THEREFORE FOLLOW THAT WHAT I REGARD AS BEAUTIFUL IS (FOR ME AT LEAST) ART! Porn can be ARTISTIC and art can likewise be PORNOGRAPHIC! Would you like it if ALL NUDE STATUES WERE REQUIRED TO BE COVERED? How'd you like it if you were sitting at a library computer...?
Is art synonymous with beauty? Art=Beauty and Beauty=Art. What I consider Art or Beauty is someone else's Porn
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If you think something is beautiful then why should you rely on others to deem it pornographic or otherwise?! It is your opinion and you are fully entitled to it! I would say that if it is tastefully done it can be the most beutiful thing in the world! Cc x
Does this look good

Best art shows for digital art? abstract art?
I do a lot of abstract art most of it is digital - I got my Masters degree in Computer Graphics in 1989 an I"ve been doing digital art since, but only as a hobby - I did other things for work, and I'm looking into trying to do art full time. I'm trying to find out ways to get myself established.
I live in Central Wisconsin and my art really isn't appropriate for this area in that they really want nature,etc. and my stuff is more abstract - I'm open to ideas.
I'm looking for which art shows are the best for digital art and abstract art or both - thanks
thanks
Best art shows for digital art? abstract art?
I can recommend an online community called Depthcore. It showcases abstract digital art and occasionally photography and music. While its not a place to sell your work, its got connection to many resources. One of which is Deviant Art, where you can sell your work.
Anyway, I would check these out, and ask the members there.

Art Schools?
I want to enter in an art college/university (anywhere), but most, if not all decent/semi-decent art schools require applicants to have a portfolio+ SAT scores(which I didn't take). I consider my art skills to be poor compared with art school students because I first began taking art classes during my senior year in high school.
I'm currently in a community college. Should I spend all my time focusing upon improving my art skills or continue with general ed classes along with some art classes?
Could someone gimme some advise or information??
Btw, I'm thinking of graphic design. Many people say that you don't have you be a great artist to be a graphic designer, you just have to be creative.. then what are art schools looking for in the portfolio??
Art Schools?
Pratt Institute is a great art school. There is a satellite school in Utica, NY.
Art is something that you have to learn, just like anything Else. But most importantly you have to love what you do. When you love to do something you do well at it. If you don't feel that way about something then I would wait and not spend a lot of money on folly.
Reply:Take a basic two-dimensional design course and a basic drawing course and use the work from those courses for your portfolio. Meanwhile, keep your academics as strong as possible. Your general education courses will probably transfer without any difficulty. Your art courses may or may not--especially if they are more than the basic foundation studios.
Many of the good graphic design programs are very competitive so having excellent academics is a plus. Also, many of them will not count community college design courses as equivalent to their own coursework in the graphic design program, so you would be better off to take support kinds of courses (photography, ceramics or sculpture, digital imaging) that would be more likely to be accepted than specific major courses.
If you are serious about graphic design, I would try to get a portfolio together and get into the new school as soon as you can. www.aiga.org has some good information about what to look for in design educational programs.
There are alot of good schools all around the country, but don't wait too long because you will probably be looking at another three years at that school to get into the design course sequence and get it completed.
Most schools are looking for basic drawing skills -- your ability to see something in the world and translate that into a two-dimensional representation. Use of compositional space, accuracy in proportions, ability to model/shade the form to represent dimensionality -- these are all things that we evaluate in a portfolio. Presentation counts too. Neatness, organization, clear images that are cropped accurately all help. Many schools also require a written statement as a way to assess both your thinking and your ability to communicate clearly with language.
Hope this helps.
Reply:Many art specialty schools, places like RISD and Mass Art, don't require the SAT. Those that do ask for it give much stronger weight to the content of your portfolio than to those scores.
Art programs at broader schools, those like Syracuse University or RIT, do ask for SAT scores, because they are a university first, and an art school second. Their art program may still be of extremely high quality, but they ask for SAT scores because the main focus of the school as a whole is academic.
If you think SAT scores may be an issue for you, then you could look at art schools, rather than universities.
However, if you stay at your community college and get your associates, SATs become moot, anyway. Once you have your associates, transfer programs won't ask for your SATs. Instead, they rely on your college grades.
In terms of what art schools look for in a portfolio, most of them look for potential - not perfection. The majority want at least some examples of drawing from life, and you can also include any other art that you feel represents you. But the drawing from life tends to be important.
In terms of being a graphic designer, you do need to be a good artist. However, that doesn't mean that you need to be a great ILLUSRATOR - a lot of people get confused about this. You don't necessarily have to draw super well in order to be a good artist, or a good graphic designer. But you do need a strong knowledge of art, and one important thing you need in order to be an artist is creativity.
So, what should you do now? You have some choices. If you stay at your current school, do focus on taking as many art classes as you can. Make sure some of those are life drawing classes (heck, when I applied to art school, I basically submitted my sketches from life drawing class. I got in.) You can also take any other art or art-related courses that interest you, but make sure you get some drawing in. If you know graphic design is what you want to do, also take graphic design and computer graphics classes, but not at the expense of the "foundation" drawing and painting classes. If you plan to get your associates where you are, then you'll also have to take gen-eds. If you plan to transfer before that, then take some gen-eds (English, Math), but focus mainly on art.
I'm going to give you some valuable links. If you can somehow get to a portfolio day (in link below), you should. Bring your portfolio - which can be anything you have, don't get too stressed about this - but should include at least some drawing. The admissions reps who go to these events will look at your portfolio and tell you what you should do to it to make it ready for applications.
Some schools list exactly what they want to see in an application portfolio. Others give general guidelines. To get started, check the admissions pages for the following strong art schools. They'll give you some idea:
- Rhode Island School of Design
- The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
- Massachusetts College of Art
- Parsons School of Design
- Otis (Los Angeles)
If you're still not sure about the whole portfolio thing, you MUST check out the Academy of Art University in California. They are a highly reputable art school, and one of the few of that ilk that does NOT require a portfolio for admission. They aren't cheap, but they are reputable. Worth a look.

# What do you not like about art?
# Do you think art is important to humans, why or why not?
# How much art have you been exposed to in your life, and has this shaped your opinion of art?
# Is there some art that has personal importance to you? If so, what is it and what importance does it have?
# Do you make art? What kind (material or style) and why? If you don’t make art, why?
Art questions?
* Art is a skill as a result of learning or practice. Art comes easy for some and it has a VAST from theatrical, literary, fine art paintings, tattoo artist, culinary, etc....etc....the list goes on.
* I like how people can express themselves or their feelings using objects or substance to create something that others can appreciate.
* I can't say that "I don't like art" because I do in all it's different forms.
* I think art helps a person reduce stress by creating art and it also helps others reduce their stress by appreciating what artist have already created...an example would be music. Music soothes a lot of people that listen to it. Music is also a form of art.
* I have been exposed to art all my life and I can't say there was a period when I "noticed" that art changed my opinion on art itself.
* Art does hold an importance to me such as the clothing designs I choose to wear on a daily basis to the interior decor of my home. It gives me sanity knowing my environment reflects the type of person who I am.
* I have taking art classes every year since 7th grade to sophomore in college and place first in the majority of art competitions and shows. I would say I'm a realist and usually use either paint or ink as my medium.

In art, does a university offers just as much opportunities in art as in a art school.?
I want to know if a university offer just as much opportunities in the art feild just as a art school. If the university is know to be good in art, is it just as changeling. I want to major in illustration and I will be going to East Carolina University. But will I be better of at an art school. I want to go to an art school but don't know if it is worth it. Plus, I decide I wanted to attend an art school and go into their graduate school. Would I then be getting the same education as in a art school. Plus, do people who graduate from art schools get better jobs and are more successful then people who graduate from universities.
In art, does a university offers just as much opportunities in art as in a art school.?
Art schools are often better as they are usually extensions of museums, but they are also often hybrids and you must take your solids at a local college to get a degree in some instances.
Colleges don't, generally, do real things for a living except in the research department.
At the School of the Art Institute you are a part of the who Art institute and Museum process and might get to do work in the restoration room and have access to pictures to copy and work on.
YOu really need to go look at them
One to check out is Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
Also the School of the Art Institute, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia.
San Francisco College of Art
Cal Arts
This is not to say the Universities don't have good programs. Carloine LEaf, an animator with the NFBC who won an Academy Award did your undergraduate work at Harvard at their Animation Unit (the Carpenter Center) where she did Peter and the Wolf, a ground breaking film in sand.
There is also Rochester Institute of Technology (an Eastman sponsored school) that has a great computer art department.
Reply:Well some art schools have better technology and stuff like that since they are dealing only with that. However, it is mainly a case by case basis. A college degree in art will have you more well rounded in a variety of subjects and will make it possible for you to pursue teaching art in the future while a degree from an art institute probably would not since most educators don't recognize that as a degree.
In art, does a university offers just as much opportunities in art as in a art school.?
Art schools are often better as they are usually extensions of museums, but they are also often hybrids and you must take your solids at a local college to get a degree in some instances.
Colleges don't, generally, do real things for a living except in the research department.
At the School of the Art Institute you are a part of the who Art institute and Museum process and might get to do work in the restoration room and have access to pictures to copy and work on.
YOu really need to go look at them
One to check out is Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.
Also the School of the Art Institute, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia.
San Francisco College of Art

Art History Quesions?
Just need some help answering a few questions about African Art:
1. How did the land of Africa shape the art of the people produced?
2. How was art used by the Africans?
3. How was art used to perptuate history and why did this need to be done?
4. What did Europeans find when they first journeyed to Africa?
5. Why was each of the following cities famous?
Timbuktu -
Benin -
Kilma -
6. Why did the early European appreciation of African art fade?
7. What attitudes and preconceptions kept Europeans from appreaciating the art of Africa in the ninteenth century? HOw was African art treated then?
8. What twentieth century artists developed a true appreciation for African art and were profoundly affected by it?
9. What lifestyle areas did African art influence in the American South?
Thanks
Art History Quesions?
Contrary to what I suspect you might think, the first europeans to establish permanent trade outposts and to explore Africa were the portuguese, they started to do that in 1415 and finalized the exploration of the west coast in 1488 when Bartolomeu Dias crossed the Cape of Good Hope. So a good 400 years before the english that you include in your questions.
Art in Africa is directly and intimately linked to religion, apart from decorated domestic utensils like spoons and pots, all artistic representations are religious, back in the early 15th century and even now.
There are several descriptions of african art by the first portuguese explorers, they're not easy to find in english though, but in portuguese the archives are among the richest in the world. Besides coastal exploration the portuguese were the first to establish diplomatic bonds with an african king, the king of Congo. In 1491 a diplomatic expedition of 80 portuguese noblemen and aids reaches the capital of the kingdom of Congo and are received by the then most powerful king in Africa.
The attitude towards african art was as expected for a european recently out of the middle age, for most of them it was a "barbaric" and "heathen" representations but among the expeditions there were the ancestors of anthropologists, the "alchemists" or doctors that described exhaustively the plants, cures, animals, art and religion of the africans.
The first artifacts of african art reached Portugal in those early decades of the 15 th century like curiosities and were even displayed in the palace of the king John II of Portugal.
400 years later, when the second and massive wave of imperialism, english, french, belgian, dutch and portuguese, took over all Africa definitely, the attitude continued ver much the same, although there was a difference between the english and the portuguese, the english had a far more superior attitude towards the africans and everything in it's society while the portuguese tended to mix with the natives which led to african art in Portugal being so common it was even nornal in a middle class houhold to display a statue of "pau-preto", black wood from which most statuettes were made. Curiously enough that remained, although the portuguese colonies gained independence in 1974, I would say today most portuguese have one or several statues or other african art form at home, I have several statues, the oldest from the late 1700's and the newest from the late 60's when my father was in Africa as a soldier.
Hope it helped

Pursuing art therapy?
I'm a third year college student finishing up for my B.A. in psychology and social behavior. As the time nears for me to decide what exactly I want to do with my degree, I've been looking into many different fields of psychology. I am particularily interested in the field of art and music therapy (more so art).
I've been searching, maybe not hard enough, but I'm having a hard time finding out recommended courses I can take as an undergrad to succeed at an AATA accredited grad school program for art therapy. I was thinking that I should take up art as a minor, but what field of art? Currently, my school offers degrees in: art history, arts and humanities, fine arts, and studio art.
What I would ultimately like to do is specialize in family, marriage or sex therapy with an additional certification in art therapy. I'd also like to end up teaching. Perhaps part time at a city college or so.
I'd really appreciate any info anybody can provide me with. Thanks in advance!!!
Pursuing art therapy?
Unless you decide to teach, art or music therapy won't do much for you once you are out of school. While you are searching the internet, why don't you look for jobs to see how many are looking for someone with this type of education? Not a high demand degree.
Reply:Hi, Actually there is a high demand for this job. I am thinking of doing it myself. You need 18 hours of studio art (undergrad) and 12 hours of psychology (undergrad) in order to get into art therapy grad school. Go to the AATA website American Art Therapy Association website and see all of the details. Also, there are a list of approved schools to go to listed on the site as well. There should also be an art therapy association in your state which would let you do an internship or observe sessions to make sure this is what you want to do. I hope this helps you out!!!!! I am excited about this job myself. There are lots of jobs in studio's. hospitals, mental health centers and you can have a private practice too if you want.
Good luck!

Art homework help PLEASE!?
2-4 Paragraphs
Details: Using the Internet, seek out different kinds of art works--art that is not conventionally considered art. Choose two specific "works of art" that intrigue you. Some examples of unusual art are: environmental art, performance art, graffiti, tattoos, snow sculpture, sidewalk chalk art, sand sculpture and found object art. You may find some interesting examples while exploring these artworks online. You can find additional ideas in the Classroom Materials, your instructor's assignment notes, and the Cybrary's Quick and Not Really Dirty Guide for this class.
Using the art terminology and concepts outlined in the Sporre supplement and the Sayre text (p. 3-7 and 29-33), define and evaluate each art work you choose by answering the following questions. Elaborate on the details in your own words.
What is the FORM of the work ? (overall structure, including formal elements. - see Sayre p. 5)
What is the SUBJECT MATTER (what is literally depicted)?
What is the CONTENT (what does it mean or represent)?
Is it REPRESENTATIONAL, ABSTRACT, or NONOBJECTIVE?
Cite your sources in your postings to the Discussion Board.
Art homework help PLEASE!?
Dude. What are you asking?
The assignment is to find works of art that YOU find interesting and to bring them up for discussion - using terminology in YOUR textbooks that WE don't have.
I'll give you a start. Duchamp's Fountain and Christo's Wrapped Reichstag. Now go to a search engine and figure out what these are and analyze them. *I* find them really interesting.
Here, I'll be nice. Here's the Yahoo! search links for those two.
Reply:You did okay on the answer- but this punk is just getting out of homework. Frikkin ask your instructor in class if you don't know.
these short-cut students piss me off. I worked my *** off in high school, and some kids just think they can always cheat out. Report It

Your oil paintings are extremely interesting. Have you had much luck with them on ebay? These should be in a one person gallery exhibit. Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Hi I have seen your paintings listed, If I am wrong please forgive me, are your paintings of Southpark the painting looks like Kenny a whole bunch of them on top of each other, the other looks like his friends gone mad. I hope that's is what you are trying to interpret in your artwork and I think its great. Please if I am wrong I am so sorry. If I am right I would bet there is a market for this kind of work. All the best.
Wow they are really cool!I love faces in art.
I'd say something but I'm scared of you now.
The paintings are disturbing to me too, but I have come to the conclusion that art is in the eye of the beholder. In this case it is not my taste, but I don't doubt someone would find it an interesting piece.
A little bit scared too, walking backward little bit at a time not to be noticed,not looking back.
Hi art-by-me how are you doing? I am glad to see you still hanging in like the rest of us.
Reminds me of my mother-in-law.
I was going to say in what way, but then I got the joke, I am just taking a 5 min brake from a painting, I could use the time off. I saw this stunning piece of work and could not help but comment.
GW.. reminds me of my entire family.. excluding myself of course.
Where is the painting art market who will be the buyer? and are my painting good for art market?
my friend has a furniture store here in the usa and he buys somewhere in china original pictures of painters. There should be some studios in china, you have to research that. Or sell your pictures in www.ebay.com
