Self-Taught: An Art Education
Day 1:
I’m starting a big journey. Whew.
I decided that I needed to go back to the beginning of what I know about art, its foundations, and how to apply them to my everyday work… and record my process / progress. Guys, this is very intimidating for me.
Lately, I’ve been really overwhelmed with all of the things I feel I don’t know about art and how to communicate terms, ideas, and concepts professionally within the industry as I didn’t formally study art in college. I’ve felt pretty unprepared (and way behind) to pursue my artistic dreams, but I haven’t had any idea of where to (re)begin. The last formal art class I took was in high school… and that has been some time, so I’ve decided to go back to the basics and start from where I DO have an understanding.
There are many, many wonderful people out there who are doing just what I am doing and I wanted to be able to share this experience with others who are questioning educational and vocational decisions when it comes to being an artist.
I hope you’ll journey with me and share your tips as you go along! I’m VERY new to self-educating, definitely one to prefer a formal classroom, but art school is expensive… So, I’m going to do my best!
Advice, help, videos, etc. are welcome. :)
Onward!
