Students and parents are always asking me how to get into art school, and I wish there was a simple answer. But the fact is, most of the time, there isn’t.

There are some general things you can do to improve your chances, however. And I’d like to tell you about them and give you some advice on preparing for an art school application.

**The first thing to realize is that the way things have been done in the past is not necessarily the way they will be done in the future. One of my favorite examples of this came about because a school wanted to discourage students from sending in slides of their work. The school decided it would refuse to look at any slides unless artists signed a statement acknowledging that they had seen copies of guidelines provided by the school. If you recall, slides were usually 5″ x 7″ or 8″ x 10″, so anyone signing would have had to admit that they’d looked at 1,600 or 2,400 images of artwork!

**The point is that schools often change their admission policies without a lot of forewarning. There is no guarantee that any particular policy will apply when you apply. The best thing you can do is make sure your application represents you well regardless of what the rules are at any

The following are tips and guidelines to help you choose the right art school for you.

Are you ready to apply for art school? You’ve been working hard on your portfolio, practicing your drawing and painting skills. You’ve added pieces to your website and made sure it is easy for people to find you. You have explored the various options for art school, from 2-year programs, to 4-year programs, to schools that are more like universities.

Now it’s time to take the next step: choosing a school that fits your needs and goals. To help you get started with this process, here are some tips that will help you choose an art school that is right for you.

1. Find out what makes a good art school. The first thing to do when planning your education is figure out what makes a good art school in the first place. An online search can reveal information about the best art schools in the country. The following questions can help narrow down your choices:

* Are there any awards or rankings given to the top art schools in the country?

* What are the admissions requirements of a particular school?

* Are all or just certain degree programs

Many art schools have websites where you can check out the latest news, read about their programs and find useful information.

One of the essential things to do before you decide which school to attend is to visit each one personally. You should go during the times when classes are in session. It is especially important to pay attention to the instructors and see how they interact with students. In addition, try to observe the type of environment at each school.

What type of atmosphere do you want? Do you want a large campus with people milling about or would you prefer a small off-campus studio space? Are there particular art styles that appeal more to you than others? What sort of interaction would be best for your goals and personal style?

Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Remember, it’s your education and your career so make sure you’re comfortable with your choice. When it comes time to apply, don’t wait until the last minute. Most schools require a portfolio, which should contain some examples of your work and any other relevant information such as resumes or letters of recommendation. You should also request an application form well in advance so that you have plenty of time to fill it out correctly.

Art schools are a good place to start an art career. They offer the kind of training that is not available from a two or four year university. Art programs at community colleges and four year institutions are very different in terms of the kind of training and the amount of time you will have to devote to your artwork.

Art schools allow students to focus on their art and practice it for a longer period. Some art schools offer graduate programs for those who want to teach at the college level, pursue a Master’s degree, or continue their studies in an area like art history and criticism. There are also university-affiliated programs which offer more interaction with the community at large through undergraduate and graduate degrees.

Art schools can be expensive but they provide the best quality education and experience one can get when it comes to learning how to make a living out of art, they give you access to other artists and professionals, they provide you with all you need in terms of equipment and supplies, they endow you with valuable contacts within the art world as well as other artistic communities, they provide opportunities for working with established artists who visit, lecture or teach there.

Art school is really worth considering!

Art school is one of those things that you know a lot about, but the only people who agree with you are your friends who went through it. If you’re thinking about going to art school, almost everyone will try to discourage you. They’ll say things like “it’s a waste of time,” or “you could be making money,” and “college is for people who don’t know what they want to do.”

These things may be true for college in general, but at an art school the rules are different. Here are some guidelines for how to make the most of your art school experience:

1) Go to a well-known school.

2) Get good grades there.

3) Work hard while you’re there.

4) Don’t get discouraged. Art schools are full of students who have been working hard on their projects since they were kids, while their friends were out partying or watching TV. If you go into a situation like this expecting it to be easy, you will never understand what it means to work hard.

Art students are well-versed in the rules of art, thus they have a tendency of being rigid. Art students are not very good in digital art. Art schools are expensive, thus many students work part-time jobs to support their studies.

The most common subjects studied at an art school include painting, drawing and sculpture. Artists learn about color palettes, anatomy and perspective. They also study about various materials such as clay and watercolor paints.

Art schools provide their students with studios where they can develop their ideas and later present them to their teachers for feedback. The instructors provide both positive as well as negative comments so that the students can improve upon their works of art. They also provide valuable information on how to make a living out of the career they opt for after completing the courses.
