3.0 out of 5 stars
Good general overview,
By Joyce M (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Fine Artist's Career Guide, 2nd Edition: Making Money in the Arts and Beyond (Paperback)
This book would be great for any highschool students considering what/where to study for university or college. It provided more information about art in the United States more so than Canada.Overall, I thought the information the book provided was very brief towards what a career actually entails. It did go more in depth however, with real life examples of someone in the business, and provided good sources if you want to look into what schools offer such programs to lead to that specific career. I would consider the actual careers very general knowledge -- unfortunately it was nothing I didn't know before I had purchased this book. However, it may be helpful to someone who is clueless about the art world. In the end, it was an okay book; I dont regret the purchse.
