What To Know In Art School

     Art school seems like somthing any amazing artist has been to. Jon Williams gives us some tips on Art school. First is that art school is not nessisary but won't hurt. Attending a school alone won't make you better, everyone with a simple grasp on education can understand this. You have to work to improve whether it be practice or taking your time to focus and learn somthing. Many jobs in the arts do not care about your past schooling, and some do. BUT even that thier main decision is based upon the work you have already done in a portfolio or demoreel.
     Next is to think less about your 3d software and more about your art fundamentals. Technology is always changing you can never keep up. But when software is always updating you want to know every new feature, this is extremely distracting towards you as an artist wanting to experiment with every new feature pulls you away from the bigger picture and what really matters when working in your software.
     Another statement of Jon is that you are not the best do not have to be. Having an ego is an awful thing, and can really destroy you as an artist. Being this way makes others not wish to work with you and only makes others wish to tear apart your work more. Additionally aspiring to be the best is not a bad thing but you will never reach that level. What really defines someone as "the best"? If you think about it, that is a totally subjective question and everyone will awnser differently.
     Lastly Jon states that your development as an artist never ends.  That is 100% true there is always room for improvement whether it be speeding up your work flow or refining your art.
     Seeing as I want to goto art school this was a good read. I agree with alot of his points on what decisions to make, how to go about your work and collaborating with others. I wish to do my best in the field and starting well in art school would be great.
