Art School?

I'm just a bit curious to those that have gone to art school. Has going to an art school improve your knowledge in art? Have you been disapointed by teachers and other students? Do you find it important (not to obtain a degree but) to understand the concepts in order to become more succesful in your art? I have gone to school myself and i have my own thoughts, i'm just a bit curious to know what you think.

Art School?
i went to college for fine arts.


i didn't like the structure of the course, it was very strict and you didn't get much freedom to create. However, the experience was amazing, because i met another 40 students ranging in age from 18 - 50 who have a passion for art. It inspired me to create more and more and just let go of all my creative energy. The bad thing was, most of the work i was doing was not for school. I had a hard time making art for school, I devoted most of my time to the art I wanted to make for myself because my creative energy was just going wild being around all those people. But I'm a lot happier I left after my first year. And I feel knowing the fundamentals and furthering your knowledge of concepts is very important as well. I don't necessarily think you need a degree to prove can grasp those things. I feel surrounding yourself with creative people makes you more likely to be successful in your art, and school is just a very obvious place to do it, the degree doesn't mean much in my opinion.

You need to know how to write an essay about art history.


We did the Renaissance, Michelangelo and Leonardo and Raphael, Titian, Tintoritto, Goya, Velaquez,Turner and the modern ones Gobi.


By the time we went to art school, you must remember the great masters were already accomplished sculptors, painters,architects.


Michelangelo was 26 when we sculpted the famous Pieta.


One of the most beautiful sculptures in the world.


I like Art Attack, they have ideas , breaking the barriers of doing your own thing.


Or Graffitti.
