People made this joke about my art degree (textiles) but I’ve had a career for 25 years and my mortgage is about to be paid off in April. So, eat a dick 🫳🎤
I’m happy for you, but real question: would you recommend this degree to aspiring students? Would you say you’re the exception or do people have the wrong perception about a career in art?
Absolutely I recommend it. It teaches analytical and critical thinking and gives you space to develop physical skills. It may not lead to a career as a fine artist but it absolutely has transferable skills. I didn’t need to go to art school to become an upholsterer/marine fabricator but I draw on my education daily. I’m a far better designer for the experience.
Keep in mind, I’m not talking about an art history degree.
We calling philosophy a science now? And the other comment is bringing it even further unrelated into art degrees…
I saw a youtube title calling philosophers a bunch of white guys jerking each other off and I have never heard a more apt description since. Hell, even legendary philosopher Karl Marx made a fuck ton of mistakes until he actually went out in the real world and put his ideas to test; what hope do you think someone who literally sits around thinking about pointless “what-ifs” with them and their debate bros has?
Buddha, Confucius, Jesus: were nonwhite and such notable philosophers they each founded a religion based on their teachings
You: I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that
The closest thing white people have to anything on the level of those three is Alistair Crowley, and you’ve probably never heard of him.
According to the thought experiment of Schrödinger’s cat, the animal can’t talk but also can speak.
