How Many Of You Art Art Majors?

[Rusty Shackleford]

does it help you writing and/or style, color schemes, etc.?

[FOEone]

i'm minoring in art theory

[Kronone]

dude i took grade 7 art class...but im hoping to get into grade 10 art...lol just so i can draw all class, n hopefully learn some methods of shading ect....but im guessin it would help you out, considering graffiti is a form of art...illegal or not.

[KAY-lo_use_RUST-o]

let me say this.... 70% of the people on here are in highschool... 9-10 grade when i say highschool... so i really doubt anyone is Majoring in art

**but on with the question. im not going to college... but i did take art in my senior year of highschool... freshman year... 7th grade... and 5th grade...

*And an art corse in college that i took for one week.. then i beacame a college drop-out

[Shrink]

[Pinkstin..]

i major in art in high school. yeah it helps. but talent and then practice helps

[name1]

i think im a graffic design major, tho still taking all shitty gen ed classes , i dont quite remembe which box i check on my application

[Dr. Coffee]

I got kicked out of highschool in my senior year, I was however registerd in grade 9 art, but i never went

[geezpot]

If you really have a passion for arts and want to make a career from a skill you've obtained on the street then I recommend getting some schooling to back it up on your resume, not many firms/studios will hire a writer straight off the street.

[MitNGEK]

i have no idea if it helps im not an art major

[jape-the-nape]

ive done art class from grade 1 to grade 8(now) and my art teacher promised me a spot for grade 9 then 10

[Live4TheWall]

I've had art every year since kindergarten, Im in 10th now, I have 3 art class's, and then I plan on going to an art college and become an art teacher........ needless to say I think it does.

[MitNGEK]

me too. but i dont really know how much it is/ has helped me, but hey no knowledge is bad knowledge :) i figure all graff is is advertising for yourself, so instead of a billboard or a news paper ad you do a bomb or tag :P

[yuki]

yeah, graff is advertising in a sense, but it also undermines commercial advertisement at the same time. Taking typography has helped me realize how closely graff is related to traditional type use. I&#39;ve learned a lot about color theory, and also design/compostion in school.

[pogopope]

i started paying alot more attention to letter structure, but i didnt know if it was because of school, or me getting better a graff, or both. being in advertising wouldnt be that bad, i dont htink i can see myself doing it tho. but i guess i dont have much expectation for myself :( silly low self esteemed me

The KALOE link in your sig.


I got into graff because of art, so...

CHINEESE CALIGRAPHY IS COOL..

[K0tt0nKandyandP0psicles]

unfortunately there&#39;s no art major at my community college. i&#39;m also doing the gen ed thing like name said. sadly, i&#39;ve taken almost all the art courses they offer.
it&#39;s the one area of schooling that appeals to me.


my homeboy was going to art school and just got kicked out for all the bongs/pieces/plants that they found when they searched the room.

[djcuttup]

art helps different people like before i used to do just blocks for graff but after i took classes (im in one right now im a senior 05 bitches) i found myself open to new ideas and i was more creative instead of trying to get inspiration from other peoples worx of art. it helps u shadow a whole lot better, and ur color schemes come out hella nicer

[LOST]

liberal arts, almost got the major...

[noise not music]

for all you guys or anoyne reading this who thinks art classes has helped you get better at graff,think you guys could post some of your stuff?

[skate and annoy]

Both sides of my family have backrounds with artists/painters. Both of my aunts on my fathers side are artists. One of them worked for some big college as an art major teacher. And my other aunt just does landscaoes and portraits and lives off of that, but i guess she&#39;s a "stranger" ive only met her once and her and my dad dont talk. My mom can paint really good. and my dad, well he cant draw a straight line with a ruler.


I&#39;ve been taking art classes sinice i was little, and i go to a vocational high school now (junior year), and major in Art, So one week i got regular classes, then next week i go to my shop, and well, dont do much, just sit and sketch in my blackbook and roam the forums.


I guess its helped. Mostly with just being able to know how to draw, and pencil control. But deffinatley color schemes, and perspective and 3d and shit like that, since they teach you all basic drawing your freshman year.


heres something I whipped out a few days ago. (not great but whatever)

haha sorry for that block of white at the corner. we use photoshop so much in here i get lazy using it.

[[]ASeR-ONe[]paint slinger]

im an art and music major.
graphic design and music production and im also doing an apprenticship at a tattoo shop. just bought my first gun a month ago. shits going good

[sika_2002]

the only art subject i do is photography but i wana take an art course aswell

[paint the town red]

i could see how an art major would help, but then again i like the fact that i can do what i can, with no formal schooling. i would like to see a comparison of non college hippies to art schoolers. posts of pieces that show all the work. i would start the thread but mine always get closed.

oh, and that digital graff looks like shit. i&#39;m sick of ppl saying, "i did this real quick, it&#39;s not great but i could do better if i take my time"...no it looks like shit because you didn&#39;t pull a pencil and pen out your mom&#39;s desk drawer and learn to draw. be creative, be, be creative. toy.

[PamS]

not done calligraphry class but have done calligraphy myself and japanese calligraphy too&#33;

[Wastedfrog]

sculptur is my shit, im working on graffiti sculptur concept with masonite.

[Wastedfrog]

u cannot teach graffiti in a school, the only school for graffiiti is the STREET.

[PamS]

i dont think art classes help, you need the natural talent to start with and then develop.
singing classes cant make everybody be able to sing&#33;- if you get my point&#33;

[Wastedfrog]

Major art help a fucking lot 2 understand the matters, supports, mediums...

music and visual art are not same, and u can get a decent talent by practice.

[PamS]

i dont do visual art, i did drama at a lower level but, i think you need some natural ability to be able to draw. i wouldnt know what you do in major art compared to what i do, art a-level.- maybe your older?

[FaultO]

Double Major
Geography
and
Earth Sciences

[bobbydigital]

you can learn alot of things from art that are useful in graffiti, like principles of creating movement, elements of color, etc...

double major anthro and history

[Ginasa]

Call graff art or what u want but,
if it looks like shit...
then to me, its shit...

look at your signature

its a little pink ball of toyness btw

[Case-One]

i'm getting a degree in graphic arts, i can't even begin to say how much art school teaches you about graff and art in general, it's the shit, to all you cats who are still in hs, graduate and go to a tech school for arts or if ya got the doe go to something fancy, it's totally worth it.

[E-Terror]

i used to be an art major


but then i dropped out

p.s. i was experimenting with hallucenogens

[RMA]

I'm in art school it's pretty sweet but they've got me too damn busy, all I've got are a bunch of ideas and no time to do nothin.

[Case-One]

i hear that, but thats how this shit goes mayne, e-terror, why did you drop out, you got some skill son!

[oblong]

a janitor if you wanna be a dick about it :lol:


haha im not a janitor
but for real i only took highschool art classes for fun

[Chump]

Im a graphic design major...
Big reason i started writing was to get a graffiti influence on my graphic design...

[ODonthesetrees]

im in AP digital art, adn im going for major in communication sciences and minoring in digital art...but i think graffiti is different htan the other forms of art, because letter structure is not taught in art calss, so you need to learn some htings on your own, but one with a natural art talent(such as lust, a graphis art major i believe) does have an advantage over someone else, say you

[JETPACK!!]

im going to college for animation this fall. maybe i can come up with a sick character

[MontanaPainter]

hopefully...
lol

[JETPACK!!]

i better, otherwise thats a waste of a fucking college course. believe it or not, i havent tried comin up with a char yet. just been working on my letter structure haha

[JETPACK!!]

im not majoring, its a 3 year program, im gonna be starting my first year in the fall, if i complete the other two years, i can get into a university and get into a bunch of different courses. i'd really like to get into a history, theoretical or psychology program. but i fucked up school, and i didn't realize i'd be sitting here now wishing i didn't fuck it up. hahaha

[BoRe-719-]

majoring in art si a waste of time...in my opinion anyone who needs college to teach them to "draw" should start persueing different interests. i went freelance for a short while...youll learn alot more doing that than you will at college. unless your trying to be a teacher or professor.
just thought id throw that out.

[Olick]

Call graff art or what u want but,
if it looks like shit...
then to me, its shit...

its kirby u bafoon!

and no im not majoring in any art.

but i do get paid to draw shit for some stores

[Slaze]

photo major! click click

gets me access to some sweet spots

[sickone]

after you have your visual arts , art major, where can you work what kind of job can you get? just wanted to know

[Cham]

[Fish2]

majoring in "art" is a waste of time if youre at a normal college or university seeing as most of the art departments are complete jokes.

but if youre going to an actual accredited art school its a whole different animal.

trust me

if youre serious about what you want to do with art and want to focus on it, art school is definitely worth going to.


you usually find out that youre doing alot of shit wrong when you actually take a class.

[E-Terror]

oh, also


if youre serious about your artwork and do have some skill, but arent sure about what you really want to do, going to an art school is an invaluable resource of information and experiences on other forms of art you might not have even known existed.

i went into art school thinking i was gonna major in photo.

mid way through my first semester i realized it wasent my shit and discovered printmaking which i very very quickly took a deep interest and liking to.



if i were ever to go back to UArts, it would be for printmaking

[Auspicious]

I've been drawing all my life and I get told a lot that I'm very skillful.
I might go to college for some art shit but I'm not to sure yet.

Does it help me with my writing?
Well starting off, I already know the basics of drawing. All I need to do is apply it to my graffiti style and I'll be good.

[ChaoticLunatic]

I eat red crayons and like the color of milk & night sky.. i hope that makes me a major artist. :()

[E-Terror]

honestly, unless the person telling you youve got drawing skills can draw well themselves, theyre just being nice or dont know any better.


if you are concidering art school, be prepared for criticism.

ive put sleepless nights into some works only to get them picked apart and called mediocre by the professor. it sucks, but its reality.

[MontanaPainter]

true e terraw but my mom mom majored in graphic design and she said that she was always poor and shit.

either u make it or you dont...

[Auspicious]

Well I don't think I've ever received a negative comment when I actually did try.

[Backalley Abortion Doctor]

Art is for people who fail at everything else

[Auspicious]

This is the stupidest post I ever read.

[Thrice]

Im going to SCAD (Savannah college of art and Design) and going to major in broadcast design and motion graphics; And minor in Graphic design, the two go hand and hand. I really look forward to starting up, because the art classes over there are sick and is going to really help me out with my graff.

[RetroLikeWhoa13]

Schools people, what schools are you going to?

im at The College of Charleston.
its a liberal arts school.
im here for arts management.
i want to manage musicians, i may switch to a school with a good business program that offers a good audio productions major though, because i want to open up a recording studio and eventually have my own label.

and damn you cubano, your sig allows me to do no work at all.
