That's why I ended up going to Lancaster University, because they had a visual arts course, and in the first year it was like a broad visual arts course in sculpture, painting, graphics - all of that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was hoping to attend the School of Visual Arts and had a portfolio built up.
I was a Fine Art major. You do a bit of everything until the final year, when you specialise. I did pencil drawing and sculpture. It's a pretty well-rounded fine art education. I thought that it was viable option to make a living out of art. I'm not sure if I was thinking realistically; maybe I never was. But it had great appeal.
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've been taking art classes for a couple of years; I love to draw.
I went to a private school in Singapore and they had an incredible arts program. Every day I was doing something artistic.
I majored in illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design, although I never had any intention of being an illustrator and didn't take any classes in illustration there. It was just that the illustration degree had no requirements.
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 went to university in Colorado and studied art history. I did some photography classes there, although it felt really pretentious.
At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.
I went to a school in N.Y. that is conceptual and interdisciplinary and modeled after Cal Arts. It is not just painting or sculpture; it was everything mixed together.
