[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, my dd loves drawing, painting, ceramics, photography. She also loves museums and galleries. I want her to find a school where she can foster her love for these areas and be around other arty kids and adults, while also getting a broad based liberal arts degree. [b]And not break the bank[/b] (I’m looking at you art schools in NYC).
She seems to like a bigger school, but I’ll have her check out anything that might fit the bill.

Thanks for the replies[/quote]

Not to be a Cassandra, but unless you are wealthy and able to substantially support your kid after their art degree is over, this is mostly likely not a route your kid wants to go down. [/quote]

There is that. My Art kid (fortunately) spun herself into game design which led to steady employment by Microsoft out of GMU, which is why you should try to direct your student into a BA or BS (computer sciences generated art) because your child is far more likely to get employed with a standard BA, etc. behind them than attending a dedicated art school. I know several classmates of DD who went that route and are working service jobs to pay off loans[/quote]

I know someone with a recent degree in video game design from SCAD, with no job offer yet. [/quote]

+1. SCAD is one I’m describing above [/quote]
