Something completely unrelated in Linguistics with a Modern Language. This year was meant to be my Year Abroad, but I'm ground for obvious reasons. Though it would be a good time to get back into drawing and honing my skills via a sketchbook thread. I always wanted to know more about writing and language, and A-Level Art stressed me the hell out, and already felt like a waste of time. I definitely wasn't mentally ready for degree level art. I've thought about a masters in Illustration, but definitely want to find tutors and a program that teach me what I want to know, otherwise it would feel like a waste of money and I should just continue self-teaching. There's a local short-course in Graphic design I'm considering, though. Are you at a full-time atelier?
Yeah I'm a full time student at Great Lakes Academy of Fine Art. I think you're smart to get a degree in something else. Art education is 90% a miss i would say. Like I'm sure there are some good degree programs out there somewhere? But how do you filter out the crap? Even for ateliers it's not a magic cure. There are some that are great, and there are some that are not so great to be honest.
