It is an essential art degree to be integrated into the Contemporary Art World today?
Hello, After a degree in another subject, I followed my desire studying art. Midway through my studies of contemporary art very well, I decided to take a sabbatical year out. Now I struggle to return to the course. In a way, probably would be a good thing and "open up" doors in the contemporary art scene. Finish my course is for me to return to the country where I was studying, it's a great effort for me at this time. I've always seen myself doing art with a "professional" level of engagement + commitment, along a part-time job into a cultural center. What do you think? Especially if you're a "professional" artist, what advice can you give me? Be you can make art anywhere and in any case, and that work is being done out there that "makes you an artist, but I have fear of being considered as a second "kind of" artist if you do not leave an institution … Thanks for your help:)
It seems you're fighting with yourself … education art degree is always good and it is necessary, maybe not … if you're good at what he does … do not need an art degree … it really depends on your art … do not start your life with silly doubts. You know what he is capable of … I remember what my art teacher once told me, "you never make mistakes in art, only happy accidents or major surprises." His young, have given him a talent, use it wisely, use it to the best of their abilities, and you know what, you're going, it ensures. Do you think, to the famous artists there is doubt, yes, but you know what, they went anyway … life is too short … I know … go for it.
