Fine
Arts in the US Ten Good Reasons Why
There
are many reasons why international students should elect
to study the fine arts in the United States. In the

Industrial Design in the UK
Industrial
design has been cleared for take-off. On board is a
team of highly motivated multi-disciplinary designers,
carrying in their hand luggage powerful conceptual tools
to tackle problem solving and offer innovative solutions.
The course is set, and they are well prepared for turbulence.
All health and safety procedures are well rehearsed.
Destination - a UK Masters in Industrial Design. But
what do you need to be a successful industrial designer? |
Investing
in Education
British Design and Art Direction
"It's
a billion pound business and it's all about luck. I'm
not talking about the lottery. I'm talking about our
bread and butter, designing and advertising. Why, where
it matters most, at the grassroots of our business do
we resort to the Mystic Meg approach? Because that's
what it feels like sometimes. |

Architectural
Illustration.
A Masterclass Tradition
Commenting
on the importance of visual communication as a basic
tool to the design professions, the office of Minoru
Yamasaki Associates concluded, "An architect without
these skills is like a pianist without a piano."
In the complexity of today's global architectural practices,
it cannot be expected that the registered architect,
or even the architectural designer, can keep pace with
the profession of architectural illustration. |
Studying
Website Design
Point and click and the world is yours.
Point
and click has become the symbol of our times - the current
generation of international college students has always
known the World Wide Web. From its humble beginnings
back in the early days of the internet, to its first
conception at a conference of technology leaders in
Switzerland in the early 1980's, to the dynamic environment
of today, nothing has had greater impact in the global
community of learners than the 'web'. |

"Education
First, Travel Next:
Tips From Some of the Pros in Women In Animation"
It's
a hard time to ask animation professionals for an opinion
of the current prospects for women entering the field,
as the field is currently undergoing a sharp contraction
at least in the United States. |
The
Disappearance of: The Starving Artist
One
of the most anticipated entertainment events of last
year was probably be the motion picture 'Star Wars:
The Phantom Menace'. Over the past twenty years, 'Star
Wars' Director George Lucas and his company Industrial
Light & Magic (ILM) have revolutionised the way
in which we see and hear motion pictures, television
commercials, and other forms of digital media.

Culinary Arts in the US
The culinary field in the United States and all over the
globe is a challenging and rewarding profession for
those with artistic inclinations," said Walter 'Spud'
Rhea, CMPC, CEC, CCE, AAC. Noting that 'diners
eat with their eyes before they eat with their mouths'
Rhea said, "Food that doesn't stimulate the appetite
visually is not fully enjoyed even if it is consumed. |
Making
it up
Fine Artistry in Media
The
popularity of Media-based education continues to grow,
with Media Makeup and hair as new buzz-word titles for
courses being offered by Schools who have previously
trained students for salon work only. The difference
between Beauty Therapy salon work and the skills necessary
for film, television, video and theatre is rarely appreciated
by career advisers in secondary schools. |

Tangible
Talents
The Art of Creative Careers
What
does Pablo Picasso have in common with the designer
of the clothes you wear, the craftsman who carved your
favorite chair, the art director of that movie set you
admire, or the visual merchandising director whose department
store windows catch your eye. Their commonality, of
course, is artistic talent, but the focus of their abilities
is as diverse as their education and their career interest. |
