IN PURSUIT OF BEAUTY AND TRUTH:

AN EDUCATION IN ART

Greetings to all the budding artists out there. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the famous

American philosopher, once said that Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is

art. I agree with that statement with all my heart. Art makes the world a better and a

more beautiful place.

Therefore, I strongly believe that if you are planning to study art and make it your lifes

work, you are headed down a very exciting path. As you take your very first step down

that path, you probably have many questions regarding the process ahead of you, which

is why you are here! In this meeting I will try to address most of those issues, including

art education in the U.S. in general , different types of art schools in the U.S., the generaland specific requirements for eligibility as an applicant to art schools, and choosing an

art school that is the right fit for you.

Lets start with the fundamental question:

WHY STUDY ART IN THE STATES?

Let me explain

First of all, whether youre aiming for a program in fine arts and/or design, or youre

planning to go into performing arts which includes theater and acting, dance, music,opera there are some great schools in the U.S. in all these fields. Some of these schools

you may have heard of, and they are independent institutions, like the famous Juilliard

School. Others belong to larger institutions, like the renowned Fine Arts College of Yale.

Some are conservatories devoted only to teaching music, like the Berklee College of

Music, known as the largest independent school ofcontemporary music in the world.

When you graduate at the end of your undergraduate years at any one of theseinstitutions, you will receive a BA (bachelor of arts) which is a more general liberal arts

degree with a focus on art, a BFA (bachelor of fine arts) which shows youre a career

artist or performer, or a BM (Bachelor of Music) which shows you are a career

musician.

Also, as you all probably know, USA is very rich in its cultural diversity. This richness is

reflected on art education as well. Imagine how exciting it is to have people from wildly

different backgrounds, both from different parts of the U.S. and also from all over the

world, coming together with the same purpose to study art and interacting with one

another, exchanging ideas, and most importantly, creating together. I find that a most

exhilarating prospect, dont you?

Well, we all know that you have to have some form of talent to be an artist. But is talent

enough? In most cases, the answer is no! Raw talent is a wonderful thing to have, but it

needs to be nourished; like a river that gushes forth from the mountains, it needs to find

itself a path; it needs direction; it needs nurturing, or that talent may not fulfill its initial

promise. Thats what you need a good art education and who plays the major role in

education? Why, the educators, the teachers, of course!

Which brings me to my next point in the U.S., a lot of art schools have famous artists

on their faculty. Not just famous, either these people had talent, then they built

successful careers out of that talent, they have made it in the art world, so they have

not only art to teach you, they also have a great deal of practical knowledge and

connections outside of academia, where the real action takes place in terms of careers!

Just to get an idea of what I am talking about, I urge you to go to the website of the

School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Its one of the top fine arts schools in the States.

Please check out the past and present accomplishments of the faculty. Youll be amazed

at their productivity and success! There is also the phenomenon of the visiting artist in

the U.S. sometimes artists with celebrity status visit the classes and offer refreshing

insights into the academic material the students are working on.

This is not to say that the rest of the faculty is not as good theyre usually very, verygood! Most of them are dedicated teachers who form healthy personal relationships with

their students, and give each one quality time. They also like to employ interactive

teaching methods, so museum trips and interdisciplinary projects are the norm rather

than the exception.

When you study art in the U.S., in many cases you will be offered not just art, but also a

sound core curriculum in what we call the liberal arts these are the basic disciplines

such as math, literature, history, philosophy, and psychology. Therefore, you will get a

well-rounded education.

In an art school in the U.S., you will be expected to study the classic techniques, ofcourse, but you will also be allowed and even encouraged to step outside of the box and

experiment. For instance, in most cases you may include electronic arts in your projects

at a fine arts or design school. Another advantage is that most probably you will have

access to the latest technological equipment in labs and studios.

Last but not least, I want to point out that in America, you will be allowed freedom of

artistic expression as long as you do not abuse the rights of others! There will be honestand open yet constructive criticism from your teachers but if youre doing a good job,

and not offending anyone, or being indecent, you will be encouraged in your art. I think

the late President John F. Kennedy expressed this attitude best when he said, If art is to

nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision

wherever it takes him.

So you have plenty of good reasons to attend an art school in the U.S. Now lets take a

look at whats available out there

WHY THE U.S.?

Great schools that offer inspiring programs in various

fields of art

Cultural diversity reflecting itself positively on the art

education process

Famous artists in the faculty with their invaluable

experience and practical knowledge

A well-rounded curriculum

A chance to experiment in new, innovative fields

Latest technology available in labs and studios

Freedom of artistic expression

WHATS OUT THERE?

Youve made your decision, and decided to attend an art school in the States. Whats

waiting for you out there?

In the U.S., there are two kinds of art school. The first is the kind where you are offered

programs in fine arts painting, sculpture, all visual arts and/or design, and the second

is where you focus on performing arts which include theater and acting, dance, music,

and opera.

Naturally I dont know what your specific plans are, so I will now paint the Big Picture

for you. When you first begin your search, you will start with your chosen field, in otherwords, your major. You will try to see which schools offer the best programs in that

3

major, then you will do extensive research on each school to see if its the right one for

you, and then youll start the application process.

Lets start from the beginning. Art majors in the U.S. are plentiful you can look them

up under these creative and expressive fields: acting, animation, art, art history,

cinematography and film/video production, dance, design, digital art, drama and theaterarts, fashion and apparel design, fine/studio arts, graphic design, interior design, music

(general), music management, music performance, music theory and composition,

photography, theater design and technology.

Given so many choices, you need to pick carefully. Your talent ought to be your first

guide. All of these fields can lead to a fulfilling life, and by that I mean doing something

that you love and earning a good amount of money as you do it! Do you want to be a

concert pianist, or are you more into the theory side of music and plan to become a

music critic and writer? Do you think you will be the next Leonardo da Vinci, or do you

wish to satisfy your great desire to be involved in the world of art by studying art

history, and perhaps one day becoming a gallery owner?

There are many ways to have a career in art. You may be a performer, or you may go

into the business side of things; you may devote your life to composing, or you may

decide to teach others how to become master violinists; you may want to win an Oscar

someday but not necessarily as an actor maybe you will be a costume designer for the

movies, and win the award that way! The options are almost limitless!

You just need to decide where your strengths lie, and act upon that knowledge.

Once youve decided, your next move should be to make sure you have what it takes to

apply to an art school in the U.S. and I am not talking just about talent, though talent

is a part of it, of course. However, and I cannot stress this enough, you do need more

than talent in this process.

Next, well consider what you need in order to be eligible as an applicant into art

schools.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE?

Contrary to what you may think, actually art schools demand pretty much the same

admission requirements as any other school. However, you should keep in mind the factthat each art school has different requirements, and each case is unique, so research the

schools criteria carefully before you apply. Check out the school websites for any extra

requirements, or different demands.

There are some common rules that apply to most of these schools, though. What are

those? Lets see

News Flash: You have to keep your grades up! Yes, in many cases, you need a good GPA

to enter a reputable art school. Academic achievement is NOT overlooked just because

you want to be an artist! So, please continue to study! Remember that your official high

school transcripts will be sent to the schools!

In addition to your academic performance in school, there are also certain college

entrance exams you need to take. As an international applicant, you will be expected to

prove your proficiency in the English language. For that purpose, you have to take the

TOEFL-iBT exam, and most schools will insist on this. Alternatively, you can take the

IELTS exam. Please check the official websites of the test-givers for test dates and

registration deadlines. Your counseling office at school would also be a source of help.

In many cases, you will also be expected to take the SAT, or alternatively, the ACT

exam, which basically tests your comprehension skills. Once again, check the official

websites of the test-givers as well as your counseling office for test dates and registrationdeadlines.

6


7/14

There are also the SAT II Subject Tests. These test your knowledge in a variety of

subjects, and while some art schools do not demand that you take them, my suggestion is

that you go ahead and take them anyway, especially if you are applying to the larger

universities. I would recommend you to take Math IC & IIC as well as either literature,

history, or a foreign language test. I believe this will give you a competitive edge in theadmissions process by showing you are not just an artist but also a well-informed,

cultured one!

You will be writing at least one application essay, and one of them will most probably be

a personal statement where you will be expected to talk about who you are as a person

andan artist. I believe that as someone who is applying to study in a creative field, you

ought to take care to express yourself really well in writing. In the essay, or essays, feel

free to define your artistic goals and vision let your passion for your chosen field of art

come through in your words; give the admissions board a good idea of your potential.

You will be expected to submit at least two letters of recommendation. It may beobvious, but I will say it anyway choose teachers who are familiar with you and your

work; at least one should be connected to the field of art youre considering, your music

or art teacher, for instance. They ought to be able to talk about your character,

progress, achievements, and goals, so pick your letter writers carefully!

Most art schools demand a face to face interview. While this is not a must in some cases,

it is recommended. And in my opinion, its a good thing, because it gives you a chance to

tell the admissions officers in person that you are serious about your art, that you are

both motivated and eager to pursue an education in art as you work on your own

creative process.

Last but not least, in almost every case, visual and performing art students are expected

to submit a portfolio of their work, or perform at an audition. Once again, each school

has different standards regarding these requirements, so check before you apply.

However, I can tell you that in many cases they all basically look for the same things:

strong technical skills coupled with creativity, proof of being observant of the world

around you, and the ability to handle a variety of artistic media. In other words, they

like to see evidence of both your artistic talent and also of your perception; they would

like well-rounded young artists in their community, not just single-minded ones who

focus only on one form of art while ignoring others!

You may or may not be expected to submit your portfolio or your audition in person.

Sometimes slides, digital images, prints, or DVDs of your performance are accepted as

well. You should check with the school about that.

Finally, Id like to remind you of what I said a while ago that talent by itself is not

enough to get you into an arts school that is the right fit for you. As we have seen, in

most cases, art schools seem to be looking for passion, commitment, an open minded

approach to new ideas and trends, and an ability to express your work in words, in

writing, and in some cases, in person.

Now that you know about the general criteria for application, how do you decide whichschools are right for you? I have been talking about a best fit what does that mean?

It means that you have the right qualifications for that school, and that school has the

right ingredients for you, so you two are a good match! Next, well look at the ways in

which you can decide whether a school is a match or not in terms of your character,

talents, goals and interests.

WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD FIT?

The key to deciding on which schools would be a good fit is a word that I have repeated

often tonight research! Take time to do your research properly on each school. Begin

with the internet; check out the school websites. You can get a feel of the school by goingcarefully through the website; some have virtual tours and recorded student

testimonials.

Another great way to gain information is to go on a college tour. I believe campus visits

are especially important for art students because as an artist, you need to make sure you

will feel comfortable with your peers in that environment, and what better way to check

it out than to see it for yourself? You can visit the labs and studios, talk to students and

teachers, collect printed or digitally recorded material about the school.

I also advise you to talk to local university professors in your field as well as your high

school art teachers. They would know about the reputation of the schools youre

considering, and may supply you with valuable first or secondhand information. It is

also a good idea to have a chat with alumni and/or current students of the schools you

are interested in who are now residents in your town and/or country, or are visiting.

These people are your contemporaries, and can offer you an insiders view of the school.

What should you look for? First of all, you should definitely check out the location of the

school. As an art student, you want to be in a place where you remain in touch with an

artistic community, with museums, galleries, concerts, and shows. The school may be in

a small town, or in a big city, but either way, I suggest you make sure you have easy

access to resources and venues that will inspire you. For instance, you want to be able toattend musical and theatrical performances and art exhibitions; you want to follow the

latest artistic trends; it is essential for an artist/student to interact with other artists as

well. Finally, you want the chance to be able to exhibit or perform in these venues when

you are ready to take that leap.

You ought to consider the size of the school too. As I mentioned in the beginning, you

have three types of schools to consider. You can go to a larger university and attend

their art school in your chosen field. Or you may opt for a smaller, independent college

that caters only to art students. Alternatively, you may attend a music conservatory.

If you choose the larger university option, you will have the chance to take a wider

variety of liberal arts classes, and you will meet with students in all sorts of fields. You

may also pursue a double degree in a larger university, like a BFA in painting and a BA

in art history, but it may take you more than the usual four years to graduate.

In the smaller schools, you will be with students who are very focused on their art.

Accordingly, competition will be rather high, and so will the motivation to do more than

your best, to excel! Therefore, when you choose between a larger university and a

smaller, more concentrated art school, in most cases you will also be choosing between

levels of competitiveness it is up to you decide in which environment your artistic

talent would flourish!

9


10/14

Facilities are important. As an art student, you have to check out the labs, practice

areas, and studios. For instance, if youre a photographer, a dark room is essential to

your art. Be sure to have a definite answer to this question: are the facilities enough for

everyone?

More than anything, the quality of teaching determines the reputation of an art school,so check out the faculty. What are their accomplishments in their chosen fields? Their

success will reflect on your future by that I mean, if this school has a stellar reputation

for its academics, then your diploma and degree from them will be that much more

valuable as you launch your career in your chosen field. In that regard, checking out the

current careers of past alumni is also a good idea. It will give you a good idea of that

schools place in the grand scheme of the art world!

Make sure you are in synch with the schools outlook and world view. In other words,

you need to agree with their philosophy for instance, if want to experiment with new

methods rather than concentrate in traditional painting, you need to be certain the

school is open to that sort of approach.

In the same vein, you should look at their curriculum to see if theyre offering classes in

subjects youre interested in. For instance, if youre a music student who would like to

have a strong background in classical music but wishes to become a performer of

modern jazz, you need to see if jazz is on the menu, so to speak!

Speaking of menus, choosing colleges is a bit like picking out restaurants. A restaurant

may have a wonderful reputation as the best in town for Far Eastern cuisine, but if you

hate sushi, obviously that wont be the right place for you!

Studying in the U.S. in itself is a unique experience that will help you grow as a person

and gain a global perspective. Add art into the equation, and were talking about a

whole new world! Being an artist requires a very personal approach, so your choice of

school should be a personal one too. As we all know, artists need to be nourished both

intellectually and also emotionally; therefore, it is doubly important for you to study in a

school in which you will be happy.

I will conclude in the words of Pablo Picasso, one the greatest artists of the 20th century:

Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life. What a noble pursuit it is, then, to

be an artist! I wish you all the luck in the world on this lovely path that you have chosen

to tread.
