ARTIST AND PROGRAM MANAGER, AKC ARTSBUS
You should consider studying fine art if you are curious to learn about the world through creative expressions and have a desire to bring rigour to your own arts practice. In my experience, a fine art course does not spoon feed you a set of knowledge; rather, it invites you to develop your practice through experimentation, peer feedback and reflection.
