Where did you go to school at? do you know of other colleges that offer this same course?Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08624094754838247689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-1159807381324210812006-10-02T11:43:00.000-05:002006-10-02T11:43:00.000-05:00Oh absolutely people should learn practical things...Oh absolutely people should learn practical things in art school. Marketing, professional business practices, all of that. And I think it's true that a lot of it comes down to who you know. Everything that's happened for me so far with my art has been because of a friend.zeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707868203545152390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-1152934304391538482006-07-14T22:31:00.000-05:002006-07-14T22:31:00.000-05:00Thanks for leaving your comment, Annie.

That's something that the class I took didn't cover at all. The Michels book, How to Survive... does touch on that some, at least by giving some basic guidelines and lists of resources. Please check back often and let me know what you think!Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04302872722375370724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-1152924010060643872006-07-14T19:40:00.000-05:002006-07-14T19:40:00.000-05:00Hi there,I just wanted to say I have found your jo...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to say I have found your journal extremely interesting and informative! <BR/><BR/>I do think more practical courses should be offered for any arts program, and a class or two in business (particularly contract law and other legalities related to art.) Too many art students have no clue how to make it in the art world, which if you want to have any amount of success, constitutes as the business world as well.<BR/><BR/>If you're wondering just who I am, I found your site through Swap-bot, we are both in an art Swap together.<BR/><BR/>I really like your encaustic paintings, this method really fascinates me and I love your sense of color and texture, two things I have problems with! I got my first glimpse of encaustic art in a student/teacher show I was in at a local gallery, and one of the prof's did a great encaustic of a chicken’s head. He took little blocks of wood and set them in rows then did the chicken in pastels, and added the wax over the top, the texture was to die for and I really liked the 1x1 inch blocks of wood, it really added to the texture.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I enjoyed looking at your work! I hope we end up as partners in the swap.<BR/><BR/>AnnieEraserQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15147619430711513784noreply@blogger.com
