What possition could I get with a liberal art degree n criminal court NY?
I’m 20 yrs old almost with a liberal art & science degree planning to transfer to John jay. I would like to be a prosecutor but I want to start working but don’t know what possition I can apply for.
Any related experience or advice would be awesome! Thanks
You are going to need a connection. Start to figure out how to do that. Maybe volunteer at courthouse, or DA, Legal Aide, etc. That will also get you some experience.
art courses?
free of money and online? anyone?
Most of the online courses which are free will be very rudimentary. This is not to say that you could not learn things online but it will be very hit or miss. One site may discuss one thing. Another may explain another. You may not find any one site that covers the various media and finer points of technique for all areas of art.
Your public library is an excellent resource. Get a copy of Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. This book covers many of the basics and, if you do all of the exercises, you will have used several media and have a feel for what each can do. You won’t spend a lot of money on art supplies but expect to spend some money on some supplies.
Also, the best thing to do is sketch every day. Sketch anything and everything. My friends and I have an artistic challenge where we go to a place and sit and either write or draw thirty different things. (See the list below for ordinary things you can draw for practice.) Date these sketches and keep sketching every day. Once the book is full, put it on the shelf and start a new one. (Inexpensive sketch books can be found at most bookstores on the bargain tables. The quality of the paper is not great but will suffice for simply sketching.) When a year of sketching has passed, pull your first sketch book off the shelf and compare how well you draw now with how you drew then.
Danny Gregory in his book Everyday Matters explains how he taught himself to draw by simply carrying a book and pen with him everywhere he went.
Don’t get too caught up on the options open to you as a budding artist. There are a lot of gorgeous art supplies out there. But really, all you need to start is a sketch book, a pencil, a kneaded eraser, and a pen. You don’t even really need the pencil and the pen. Many starting artists use only a pen when starting so that they don’t get caught up on being perfect. Once a line is down it’s down . . . nothing you can do to make it go away.

What art schools in Europe would you recommend for higher studies?
Hello. I would be glad if You shared your opinion about studies of visual arts in high European art schools, be it academy or university.
I’m actually looking for studies in English language, and I’m particularly interested in schools, providing combined course of fine arts, some practical things, like design, and art history.
Thank you.
For an English speaking art school, check out Glasgow School of Art. That’s where I’d go for graduate school if I had any money.
Also check out Edinburgh College of Art.
Is there any digital art programs that i could use to make art like Cleoannie’s ondeviantART?
I really like Cleoannie’s style, would anyone know any programs ( PREFERABLY FREE OR ONLINE) that i would be able to use?? Please see cleoannie’s art on deviantART before answering. ( If you know any programs that have to be bought please leave your suggestion) 
thankyou!
any art style can be made with any art program, doesn’t matter. For example, you can use photoshop to do anything from painting to pencil drawing to realistic art or cartoon art. art programs don’t make certain styles, you just use them like you would a paper and pencil. It is unlimited what you can do.
That being said, try www.gimp.org. That is free and works the same as a professional art program.
Is an art degree with a focus on graphic design as good as a graphic design degree?
My son has an associates degree in fine arts. He has been accepted to wou for a bachelors in art with a focus on graphic design. I was wondering if the art degree would be looked at in the same way as a graphic design degree, any Idea’s?
A fine arts degree is probably more highly regarded than an arts degree with a major. Arts requires you to take more general subjects that fit into core units and that sort of stuff, where as fine arts focuses specifically and to a greater degree on the subject, say, graphic design.
In most universities (in Australia that least), entry into a fine arts degree requires a portfolio, audition, interview, submission of past work etc, where as an arts degree is one of the easier ones to get into, because there are so many more paths you can take it down. For example, a fine arts film and television course requires you to submit a showreel and example of past work to show you have aptitude or potential in the subject, and they then go onto to handle more specific pieces of equipment and learn the nitty gritty of film an tv. An arts course, however, majoring in film and television studies, is more theory based, and requires a normal submission only.

art schools?
what art schools r there?
It depends somewhat on what you want from an art education, what kind of career you’re interested in, and what type and intensity of an art environment you prefer.
There are art schools that give no degree, just a certificate, and others that give a university-level education with a degree at the end. Some, like the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, offer a certificate, but also the possibility to obtain a BFA degree in coordination with a university (in this case, the University of Pennsylvania). Some of them are independent schools (Philadelphia University of the Arts, Rhode Island School of Design), some are affiliated with universities (Tyler School of Art of Temple University, Philadelphia), and some are good art departments of universities themselves (Yale University), where you can take a general program but major in art.
Back when I was in high school and had to decide on my art future, I remember that there was a booklet or two (maybe provided through our guidance counselors, but I don’t remember exactly) listing schools, possible art careers, etc. You could also ask your art teacher for info.
Wikipedia has a list of art schools in the United States, with links:
