I never studied sculpture, engineering or architecture. In fact, after college I applied to seven art schools and was rejected by all seven.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel like I became an artist by default. I went to art college, but my interest was always more towards film than painting or sculpture.
I studied political science and international relations, so I never considered myself an artist.
I went to art school, I think it helped me a great deal because it taught me who I am.
I never really took a proper art class in college. I just started reading art magazines and going to galleries. I was really drawn to it.
I never wanted to study art. And I don't think you need to study art if you are an artist. It's even dangerous to go to school. You need to do whatever you want, as you want.
I went to school at the San Francisco Art Institute, thinking I was going to become an art teacher. Within the first six months I was there, I was told that I couldn't be an art teacher unless I became an artist first.
I became an art major, took every art class my school had to offer. In college, I majored in Advertising Art and Design.
I've been working in sculpture and painting since 1920.
Once I got out of architecture school I decided not to be an architect, I just started my own little design studio.
Well, I never studied design and I went to art school to study art, you know, sculpture and things like that, and ended up making things like sculpture and started making chairs and jewelry together and that's how I started.
