Mural Art Decor

CalArts- any suggestions?

well, as we all get to our junior year in high school, we revel in the fact that now we are part of the elite. Then we duck behind a corner and panic about the impending applications and tests.

I myself have been drawn to the art world- and while looking around at institutions, i found CalArts and kinda liked it. Since high school, i participated in making props for plays and i am proud i can make realistic furniture and decor with only house paint and cardboard. In fact, the school kept one of my murals permanently to use in their annual jazz dance. So i was thinking of attending their theater department and work on props.

And so i was wondering, does anybody have any suggestions about getting there (portfolio contents)? what i should do when i get there?

If you don’t, do you have a suggestion for another art school?

replies are very welcome.

I’m a university art lecturer and exhibiting contemporary artist. I recommend that you research research research what art really is and whether you feel that you can contribute to the ongoing exploration of art and perception.
It’s not an easy life but one that can be very interesting. But really read a lot and go to as many galleries as you can, develop influences , these will always change but you gotta start somewhere. I f you really don’t want material rewards and a normal life then pursue a career in the art world, but don’t be a pawn of the art world, create your unique place within it. Good luck!
