5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, helpful, and detailed resource for arts careers,
By Sarah B Kirk (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Careers In Art: An Illustrated Guide (Hardcover)
This is among the most outstanding and useful books I have encountered on this subject. It is visually appealing (very important for artistic types) and incredibly informative. It covers hundreds of visual arts professions and gives practical advice on which courses to take in college that will give you the necessary background. The information is personalized through a case study format-interviews with people who currently have this job description. One of the biggest questions career seekers have, and one that is not usually addressed in career books is: Which school should I go to? It is not a question that is easily answered because different schools offer different programs. This book provides some of the answers; in the back is a comprehensive chart of schools all over the U.S. and Canada detailing which courses of study they offer within visual arts professions. I wish I had had this book when I was starting my career!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource to know options in the arts,
By Holly Lentz (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Careers In Art: An Illustrated Guide (Hardcover)
As both an artist and a former Director of a Career Center at an Art school, this is the best resource I have found to explain, not only the options available, but the necessary steps to be sucessful in those careers. Working professional are highlighted, typical job details are specified, and the necessary (appropriate) educational requirements are discussed. Perfect for anyone, of any age, interested in pursuing a career in the visual arts.

1.0 out of 5 stars
audience aim too limited,
By A Customer
This review is from: Careers In Art: An Illustrated Guide (Hardcover)
The book is attractive and details various professions within the art industry. However, this book seems to address a very narrow audience of young people who are trying to decide on which college and which discipline to pursue. Those of us who can't transform ourselves back into 16-year-olds but who want to pursue and/or expand on our careers in art are completely left out. This book is only for those under the age of 18 who know exactly what they want to do.
