What is Studio Art?
"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." Aristotle "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." Pablo Picasso "A primitive artist is an amateur whose work sells." Grandma Moses

However, the following list contains a representative sample of job titles of former graduates with an Art major. Use this as an idea list, and remember that it represents some, but certainly not all, of the careers you might consider. Some of these jobs also require education beyond a bachelors' degree.
