Let me first introduce myself. I am Wren, a photographer and an art enthusiast. I frequently write a lot of stuff about cameras and related articles on this blog.
Being in this creative field has helped me made a lot of friend in the field of art who are extremely successful. I am writing this today because a lot of people often get miscarried about degrees. After some chit chat with my artist friends, I finally decided to write this one!
If you have been a creative thinker who has enjoyed art throughout your life, then becoming a professional artist is something that will naturally come to your mind. But is a degree really necessary?
Well, let me tell you, it is not. In fact, the best part of this field is you can start doing art from any stage of your life and yes, you don't need to study to become an artist.
Let me walk you through a few reasons that will help you much better understand if you should get a degree as an artist or not!
Infact there are a ton of other ways which will help you learn techniques without an ART School (that are affordable too!)
The main difference here would be that you will have to put in the extra effort of looking out for things and the time. Apart from this, practice all forms, work on a specific style, improve on it, and make mistakes.
Well yes, you can teach yourself to be an artist. You need to decide up on your goal, look out for various resources and learn from different people and material. The only thing that matters would be investing time and imposing a self-developed time frame to achieve a desired curriculum.
As I've been focusing repeatedly, an artist does not need formal schooling. If you still want to obtain a formal education, you can go for a degree in Fine Arts. Most people opt for Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and later follow up with a master's degree. One of the advantages of a degree is faster creation of a professional portfolio.
Yes, an artist can get a job without a degree. If you have your natural talent and a bit of hard work, you can easily land up a job whether you are a drawer, sculptor or any other kind of an artist. Some creative field may require a degree, but not all of them need you to be a graduate.
