After highschool I have decided to apply to Cal state long beach and receive my
Bachelors in Fine arts. Knowing that the art curriculum is the same as those in private
schools, I am hoping to transfer to an art oriented school for my masters. Considering
myself as an artist already isn’t enough. I want to expand my works and hold a skill
with almost every medium found in the art world. In order to do so, having an MFA
can open up so many career paths and help me build upon what I already know.

What makes Fine Arts different than a specific major in art -such as graphic
design -is that fine arts covers all of the arts. It’s said to cover graphic design,
photography, illustration, painting etc. Holding a Bachelors in Fine Arts may
lead me to pursuing almost any job in theart realm. However, having just a
bachelors would possibly tank my career goal, I won’t be able to get away
from my employer. As an artist, I enjoy being the leader, or at least working
independently. “Typically, the U.S. Bachelor of Fine Arts consists in two-thirds
of studying the arts. It also has more studies in general liberal arts. A Masters
of Fine Arts is available and limited to students with great talent and skills…”(1).
An MFA would allow me to become a professional arts teacher at a college or
an arts gallery manager. (2) According to my close family friend, Andy Bialk,
who has received a masters in Graphic design claims that “receiving any arts
major will make you very noticeable”. He stated that “the very few artists who
increase their education in the arts are given high paying job recommendations
from their professors”. Andy made his way through a Graphic Design Professor,
once graduated, he was chosen by Dreamworks to create the character Megamind .
His latest animation was Into the Spider-Verse,and has had the opportunity to be
the head designer for the new movie The Grinch.

Personally, I hope to become a more free range artist and hold my own gallery
openings, collab. with other artist, and maybe have a fashion line. Who knows,
I may do it all. I am a scattered-brained artist who is all about the aesthetics
and getting the word out with my chosen themes. Being a female artist, I believe
receiving an MFA is highly important for the career I’m trying to pursue.
