The Best Online Art Tutors

Why study Art?

Art is a great way to foster creativity, problem-solving skills, and express emotion. There are several reasons why you should study art. First, the ability to create something creative is a useful skill that can potentially lead to employment opportunities in the future, especially if the person has talent. Art also inspires and informs people about different cultures or time periods in history, which can help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.

Art gives us a different perspective on things, which often makes it easier for us to interpret reality. Art helps develop the imagination in a safe environment. Not only that, it also develops expressive skills in children. Encouraging creative thinking makes our society as a whole more productive, which means it's good for all of us to encourage art both inside and outside the classroom.

What university degrees is Art useful for?

University degrees that often include art related subjects include graphic design, illustration, architecture, journalism, media and film, amongst others. So, if you are pursuing a university degree in these subjects, your knowledge and understanding of art can be very useful. 

However, if you are more of a practical person with a creative mind, you can also follow your passion and pursue a university degree that is solely related to art and design. Some of these degrees include Bachelor of Art and Design, Bachelor of Media Arts, Bachelor of History of Arts, Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA), Bachelor of Design Innovation and Entrepreneurship, etc.

What careers can studying Art lead to?
Studies have shown that people who are interested in art also have sharper senses and are creative thinkers. This means they are more likely to choose careers that require them to be creative and solve problems, such as advertising, journalism, filmmaking, 3D modelling and design, product design, engineering, and computer programming. However, if you have completed a degree in Art, you can enjoy a career in a variety of fields. You could be a:

• Professional artist
• Photographer
• Illustrator
• Graphic designer
• Curator
• Animator
• Art teacher
• Art therapist
• Art valuer/auctioneer

How does Art help with advertising?

Advertisers use art to communicate with their target audience. The communication can be visual, verbal, or a combination of both. They often rely on the audience to form an opinion without explicitly telling them what to do. Advertisers also use them to persuade readers to buy a product or service they are offering. With your knowledge of the visual impact of art, you will be able to design posters for events, advertisements, leaflets and brochures. You will also be able to make designs for packaging materials, logos and trademarks.

If you are applying for a job in an advertising company, you will have an advantage over your competitors who have not studied art. They do not understand how to communicate effectively with visual components. This will set you apart from other designers, advertising professionals or copywriters out there and make it easier to get a job offer.

How expert tutoring can help you

Teachers will take the time to assess your starting point then develop a personalised syllabus to work towards your objectives. Online classes will focus on your areas of weakness and on developing the confidence you need to achieve your goals. Lessons will also push students in areas that they are already comfortable in, encouraging constant improvement and developing positive learning habits.
