Do I need to take photo classes and art courses to be a great photographer and get into the business.?
I’ve always been of the opinion that you can teach yourself how to do most things as long as you have the initial talent, but lately it seems I should have taken art courses in photography so that I would have a chance of working in the field. Any photographers out there that can offer advice. I’m 24 so I feel it’s a little late to back to school for it.
I think you can probably teach yourself a lot of the technical aspects of photography by trial and error. I think your better off shooting lots of pictures and seeing which ones work, develop your own style.
If you want to take a class that will help you in the photography business you should take a business/marketing class. Often the most successful photographers are not the best photographers artistically or technically, but they are successful at marketing. Getting the clients is the name of the game.
How do martial art schools deal with this?
How do martial art schools deal with new people joining? Say when it first starts there are 5 people in the class paying £50 a month for two lessons a week. Over time that class of people grows from 5-10-20-40 people, arn’t you getting less for your money and not as good training? Schools that have been running for a long time must have a lot of people in one class, this can’t be a good thing for people wanting to train can it?
Thanks for your answer!
Well a friend of mine runs a Jiu Jitsu club as a hobby and over time expansion is inevitable, to cope with this he separated the Kids and Adults in to two different time slots, and he employed the use of several assistant instructors who are also highly ranked, thus the individual can gain a similar amount of martial arts expertise, while training in a larger class.
Another idea is splitting the class is to further categories, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced, however this isn’t beneficial for the lower ranks as they will not be training with those higher ranks who will have more experience and know how, this will be detrimental for their training.
Kind Regards.

Is it possible to start a career as an artist/animator without an art degree?
Would it be accepted for a college graduate to apply for a job like this with a degree in something like history, provided they had a portfolio assembled on their own of sketches/works? Or would it be better to have a double-degree or minor in art, even if the school had a poor art program?
Bottom line…if you have the skills, you’ll get hired regardless of your education. If you walk in somewhere (if they’re hiring that is) and you have a solid portfolio and demo reel, you’ll get hired. All studios care about is whether or not you can deliver the goods.
Best of luck to you.
I thought I would add this note…you don’t need to go to school to get a portfolio. A portfolio is simply a collection of your best work that showcases how good (or bad) you are as well as the diversity of your skills. There are artists out there with truly incredible portfolios without ever stepping foot into an educational establishment.
Are there any colleges that i can take good art courses?
well this is for a career essay and i wanted to know if there were good colleges for art courses. i feel that i shouldn’t pick a college specifically for art, but instead a good college with beneficial art courses thank you!
and if you could tell me how many years of college that would be fantastic!
First, I would check into and hone in on what kind of art you would be interested in. For example, if you want to use art in advertising, Central Michigan University or Michigan State have great programs (in my area) but if you wanted to study film the NY Film Academy would be great.
MSU is a great school with beneficial art classes to enhance any degree but if you’re looking for a school that is just focused on art below is a website that lists different schools that offer art degrees in various disciplines.
Hope that helps.
