New: Art School Career Paths Explained

Your career choice isn't determined by the field, but rather the lifestyle you want to lead. Majors like architecture and graphic design will always have a client.

online courses are out, here's what's in

Dear Reader, Growing up in the 80's, I had a World Book Encyclopedia, which was practically my entire world when it came to looking things up. I still have a vivid memory of seeing this Marisol piece which was in the S volume, under sculpture. I remember thinking how creepy it was that the mom figure had no eyes. If I look up Marisol today, it's this avalanche of information. Which is amazing because of the accessibility, but lately I've been feeling like I don't need more information? I...
