The Reputation Trap: How to choose the right art school for yourself

It covers a range of different art disciplines under the umbrella of art & design, ranging from fashion, jewellery and graphics design to fine art, animation, films and more! While they share some artistic languages, aesthetics and standards come in different shapes in each of their own field, and these are hardly reflected in an art school’s reputation and ranking. Art schools that thrive in fashion design might not educate Oscar-winning animators, or interesting artists like Damien Hirst. And in films, jewellery design and the others, they have their top schools.

So how do you choose? In the seminar, Ms. Miriam Rowe – representative from CSVPA and also a jewellery designer – will introduce some top art schools in each of these art disciplines. She will also briefly talk about usual course content, as well as requirement on portfolio and admission.
