The Artists Shed

Archive for the ‘art degree’ Category

I’ve been going to school for about 2 1/2 years for Speech Language Pathology, but recently I’ve been considering changing my major to Art. I love to draw, paint, sculpt, etc., but I’m not sure what kind of jobs I could get with a general art degree. Does anyone have any information on this?

As an art student at school of visual art there so many jobs fine arts you can paint as a job and sell paintings at galleries or like me cartoonist and try to get hired by newspaper or magazine an give in comic strips or a tv show making kids cartoons. Or animation and go into movies . Art teacher is another one illustrator draw art at home its called freelance artist and make your own drawings and sell them online as prints or draw for children books and book covers.. You can be graphic designer or make web comics or comic books and sell them even going to comic cons to sell them. so many jobs ok i cant say it works out as artist and you make money it could be hard but i am going for it and i am happy nver know it could turn out and you will make money and be well know artist .

I am considering a degree in visual arts, but it seems so terribly expensive. How much money did you spend to get your art degree, and where is your school located? Thanks for your input!
Great answers so far…thanks! A little more info on me…I live in the Southeast US and I am partially disabled. I would like to pursue a career in Desktop Publishing and/or Graphic Design, as well as Photography. I wanted to get some idea of what the costs of education would be. Thanks again!

I’m currently in my second year of college. Right now i am attending a small private college and tuition was $16,500 my books were $400, my art supplies this year are minimal since I took most of my art classes last year.. Last year i spent about $250 on art supplies and this year I’ve spent about $75.

I am currently getting my general studies done and the majority of my art at the private college because it is close to home and my parents wanted me to stay at home for my first two years of college… to get used to it.

Next semester or at latest next fall I am transferring to a Community college to get my Associates. From there I want to go to an art school to get my Bachelors. I know it sounds round about but it works for me

The community college I am looking for is out of state and My tuition would be about 4,000. If I were a resident it would be more along the lines of 1,300. and those include the school fees but not the art fees and books.

Now I checked out the Art Institutes … my DREAM school. Key word .. DREAM! They wanted 24,000 a year plus close to 3,000 a QUARTER to live in the apartment/dorms so each year would be 36,000 plus books, and they had a kit that they said you needed to buy and it was close to 1,000. As I said DREAM school! Hope this helps!

There are two good reasons for taking an arts degree: because you are really interested in an arts subject for it own sake, and because much of the job market will be open to you once your have gained your degree. However, you will find that people have mixed views on the value of the arts. Many people think that all arts are not very useful because most of the art degree’s subject’s cannot fit into a specific type of job. So, what is your career future, if you are taking an art degree?

An art degree is considered an “open” degree which it suit for many career fields but it may not fit into a specific one. Unless you are really sure that you want to enter a “close” profession like medicine, architecture, accounting and law, then it is essential that you study for a direct degree with an appropriate qualification, else if you have no idea what you would like to do, then, you may want to choose an arts degree because you like the subject.

According to the annual survey of final year undergraduates conducted by Market Opinion Research International (MORI) shows that only three months away from their final examinations half still have not chosen their future career field. Hence, you are not alone if you are choosing an arts degree because you like the subject and defer the decision of your career field until you are close to your graduation. In fact, you could take a vocational postgraduate course after graduation from arts degree program if your arts degree is not relevant to the career you choose later.

Generally fewer employers specify arts degrees for their graduate vacancies except for positions such as teaching specialist, art & design and foreign languages. Although graduates with a science / technology degree have a slight advantage over arts graduates in the job market and they tend to find job more easily and have a somewhat higher starting salary. However, the difference may not so great when both degrees’ graduates move along their career path. Students with an arts degree tend to have better communication & presentation skills who can communicate lucidly, orally and in writing.

Many employers are looking for these types of skills in their hiring positions and an arts degree graduates are likely to be preferred and have a distinct advantages over the science/technology graduates. Good communication skills are vital in careers such as banking, business management, the civil service, local government and the armed forces. In these areas, graduates with an arts degree who have distinct communication skills would have advantages to get hired for the positions.

In actually fact, holding an arts degree won’t limit you to any career except for those “close” professions that required specific degree because many graduates enter careers which have nothing to do with the subjects they have studied. Many of them even end up in jobs which have nothing to do with their degree subject. They get hired by the employers because of their skills and experience they acquired while studying for arts degree which are important to the employers.

Hence, if you are interested to study an arts degree in your college, you don’t need to worry about your future career as many career opportunities are waiting for you after your graduation.

I’m changing from an art psy degree to a degree in education with the intention of becoming a primary school teacher. My only reservation is in dropping art as I’ve always had a passion for it. Would it still be possible to become an art teacher at a high school in the future or am I restricting that opportunity?

There are generally 3 ways in most states to become an art teacher. (or any teacher for that matter)
BSEd: Major: Art Education
or
After earning your Bachelor’s degree (any subject)

MAT: Major: Art Education (in some states it’s an MEd., but that’s more a matter of different names for the same thing). 2 years of graduate study

additionally some states offer a 1 year certificate to become a teacher.
