Which is a better way to learn, going to art school or self-teaching? Does one make you a better artist than the other? Is there a right way to learn how to be an artist? These are some of the topics that Ping, Sarah, and Dorien will be tackling this week on Thriving Women Artists as they look at the advantages and disadvantages of being self-taught vs going to art school.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Art school isn’t this one place that you go to and learn everything. Every art school is different and you will learn different things depending on what you study and where. In some places you will learn about the important business side, in others you will not.
- Being self-taught doesn't mean you’ve never taken an art class. The art teachers you find at universities will often teach art classes.
- Good teachers will motivate you. If you are self-taught you have to find that motivation or push for motivation yourself.
- Being truly self-taught is impossible because we all take inspiration from others and learn from the things they do.
- Being self-taught can allow you to be more free and creative with your learning. You set the curriculum yourself and it’s not set, it can change at any time depending on where you want to take your artwork.
