What is a good rate for art lessons?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: school of visual art

A close friend wants to hire me to give her daughter art lessons 2 times a week. I am a college art student and went to a high school for visual arts, so I have a few years of experience with various mediums. Ive also had my art in shows. Although I dont have a degree but I have good experience, how much should I charge for a 2 hour lesson 2 days a week?

The plural form of medium is media. Be sure you sound experienced, then charge $20 a day.

What types of jobs are there involving visual arts? i'm chosing my future so please help?

i gotta chose what i want to be and what school i'm aiming to go but all i know is that it has to do with visual arts, i just dont want to make a decision and then find out that theres something way better that i didnt know about the whole time. hopefully something that will pay alot of money?

Don't choose based on what will make you a lot of money. Choose based on what drives you. You can't create good art unless you have some passion. And you can't have passion without caring fully. The money and position will take care of itself if you put out good quality work. Whether it's graphic design, illustration, fine art, etc.

Which art major would be the better choice?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: school of visual art

I am a high school senior and plan to study at an art university. My number one choice is Savannah College of Art and Design, and I have applied to Pratt Institute, School of Visual Arts and College for Creative Studies in my home city. So far, on all my apps I have chosen animation as my major field of interest, though torn between animation and illustration. However, I have realized that illustrators often gain the oppurtunity of working in the animation field. I'm also a writer and wish to pursue this as well. Which would be the better career option? Animator or illustrator?

It sounds like you would probably have more options if you chose animation as you major. You could always take a minor in something like creative writing which would leave the writing option open. If you studied only writing and illustration the entire animation world would be closed to you because you wouldn't learn the necessary skills to work in that industry.

I need to make atleast 50 stickers for an art project due in a week. What's the best way to do it?

Posted by: admin  :  Category: school of visual art

I am a sophomore at the School of Visual Arts in NYC and I got assigned to do a project in a week and the only things I can find online for making custom stickers take too long. I really like my idea for the project [which will eventually be put onto youtube] and I need help! Please give me all your best, but fast, suggestions!
Thanks so much!

Get yourself a roll of wide clear plastic parcel tape and make transfers with it. Just stick it over an image cut from a magazine and burnish with a spoon, then wet the back and rub off the paper backing and you have a transfer, then coat with double sided tape to make a sticker.

Alternatively just print your images and put double sided sticky paper on the back, cover with waxed paper so it is removable and cut to shape, presto stickers. Double sided tape comes in up to A4 sized sheets at a papercrafts store.
Good luck and have fun.

If you go to their websites, they have portfolio requirements for each program. Once you know the requirements, talk to your school’s art teacher for their opinion on how to make your portfolio.
