Does it matter? :: Good to Know #5 ::"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I didn’t study art per se. I had a professional degree in landscape architecture, with a small portion of it devoted to fine art and graphics. I’ve always wondered how things would have turned out if I had studied fine art, or illustration instead. Would it be any different? Would I have loved it as much as I do now, and would I be better because of it? Or would I hate it, and would it change my course in life completely?<\/p>\n

This my internal dilemma. I know that quite a few out there feel the same way, and so I thought that it would be a good question to throw to everyone out there for our next and fifth issue of Good to Know: <\/p>\n

—————-><\/p>\n

Do you think that artists need to have degrees\/qualifications from art school in order to be one? Did you study art? Does it matter?<\/p>\n

—————-><\/p>\n

I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter:
\n1. Just reply to this e-mail with your response; and also
\n2. Add in your name + link to your blog\/portfolio\/shop<\/p>\n

And if you’d like to send in images to go along with your entry, that would be awesome! Here is a quick guideline:
\n1. The image should be in black and white, (dark grey is acceptable as well) – colors won’t show up well, so you can tweak your image to make it B&W.
\n2. Image must be at least 200 dpi for clarity, and be at least 1000 pixels wide.<\/p>\n

Please send in your answers by Friday, 11th September to be a part of the issue!<\/p>\n

All participants will get a free download of the PDF<\/span> of the issue.
\nParticipants can also purchase the zine for keeps at just USD4 that will cover international shipping & handling (retail price is USD7 + shipping).<\/p>\n

I can’t wait to see what you have to say about this topic, and if you have any questions, feel free to reply to this email anytime.<\/p>\n
