Art; what to study?
I know I want to do something in art when I go to university next year but I don't know what to study.
I feel like I can't really make much money from doing something in the art industry but.
What makes a lot of money in art as a career?
Thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
I am actually in the same dillema, although i'm a few years behind you. Keep in mind that working in a field of art you're most passionate about/are best at will almost always get you the most money, but with that in mind the best art paying jobs are graphic and logo design. Depending on how much other work you wish to do, interior, or architectural design can also land you some good money. Being a regular artist is very hard to do. Although it depends what style of art. You are more likely to get more money in modern art then you are doing traditional painting/sculpture. Also graduating from the right school will of course make life way easier eg. l.a. arts will land you much better jobs then a school like san fransisco art centre, although it gives generally the same schooling.
Hope this helps.

Well it depends what your strenghts are as an artist.
If your good at painting then you could make your own but it depends how many people want them. Theres alot of struggling painters, so if you wanted to make it big, maybe try like an ad somewhere in a newspaper or you could ask museums if they have anyone who would want to comission an artwork.
if your better at drawing, then you could try graphic design, making like the advertisements you see on billboards or in magazines.
The thing about being able to draw helps in alot of industries like say fashion desigining or as an architect, so research some careers like these that you might be interested in as art is a big part of it as well.
Teaching art is one career that doesn't pay the most or best but there will always be jobs for teachers and so you don't have to worry about a bad week with no work or getting fired for no particular reason.
Theres just so many options for people who want their career to involve or be art, you just need to think outside the box to other things.
If you google "career quiz" you can find sites with a short quiz that determine what you'd be good at and what would suit you. Even if you've set your mind on what you want to do, its nice to have a choice. It comes up with what your best at like i'm best at creative stuff so it has all these jobs that incorporate drawing and things like that so i thought it would be good for you to check out.
Sorry i couldn't be more of a help.
