Thursday, May 7th, 2009
Kay asked:


I’m planning on going to the Academy of Art University in SF, but I’m stuck between whether I should take Computer Arts: New Media or Graphic Design. Could someone please tell me the difference? Also, if I do take Computer Arts:New Media, what type of career opportunities are there? I know obviously if I take Graphic Design, I become a Graphic Designer, am I right? Please help!

What universities have the best art history programs?

Sunday, April 5th, 2009
Michiko asked:


I want to major in Art History, and my main interest is in classical European painting and sculpture. What universities have a strong program that will suit my interest? I’d prefer to be on the east coast or in Texas. Chicago sounds nice, too. =)
But basically I’d be interested in learning about schools anywhere.

Oh, and I thought I’d mention that my own artistic abilities are pretty much nonexistant at this point. A program focused solely on art history or one where there’s a lot of help for beginning artists would be good.

Hello. I am searching for an art book that details how to draw realistic humans and similar forms of “real” art. Examples are pictures just like the ones Leonardo Da Vinci produced. Does anybody know of a book that has this?

Olive asked:


I’m only 14 (almost 15) and would like to get my art out into the public for people to see. I’m in a somewhat small city, so there are not that many opportunities for me to show my art.

allison asked:


I’m just looking for suggestions for different types of pieces to include in a portfolio for admissions to an art college. What did you have in yours? Did any specific pieces provoke the attention of admissions in your interview? What do you think they liked best?

Just tell me your story! :)
and if it makes a difference I am applying to transfer to the Cleveland Institute of Art for next fall. Currently though I am attending a community college.

craftsdesigner1 asked:


I am an artist, my passion is to paint! However I am not a great salesperson. I am looking for some distributors to sell my art prints. The subject of my art prints are motorcycle related. I have donated several to different organizations in my area and they have made fantastic money. I would love to find individuals or even motorcycle groups that would be interested in selling my prints. Christmas is coming and these make great gifts. My art prints can be viewed on Ebay - username (thecraftypalm). I am ready for answers, insights, suggestions and $ALE$. Thanks!
