It's not that important in the end.andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364011769128646998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-77074847865464999452009-05-05T16:21:00.000-04:002009-05-05T16:21:00.000-04:00I took an art course many moons ago and I will nev...I took an art course many moons ago and I will never forget the art instructor (who had many art degrees) saying to me .."Don't be in too much of a hurry to get an art degree...you can lose your personal style and become one of many clones".ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-11968971143779676872009-05-04T18:14:00.000-04:002009-05-04T18:14:00.000-04:00Yes, I too am an artist who has no degree.

I don't have an art degree either. I taught myself machine quilting and thread painting through practice when I make my art quilts. I did learn to paint in a class. Also learned Photoshop in a class, but have taught myself so much more since then. It's the doing - making the art - that teaches us. <br /><br />I think your quilts are beautiful! I'm at your blog for the first time and read through several of your posts. I also watched the video on your studio. :o) I find I work much better when the things I'm not currently working on are put away. You'll probably find that a big help too. I periodically give away about half of my fabric stash.... I look forward to seeing the "finished" product when you do another video.<br /><br />Cloth, Paper, Scissors and Quilting Arts Magazine are my two absolutely top favorite magazines!Jean Baardsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05434387984631853462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-44920678130261431982009-05-01T19:45:00.000-04:002009-05-01T19:45:00.000-04:00I am an artist when I say I am an artist.

An art educaiton is the jumping off point. <br /><br />I know artists who have art degrees who are amazing and I know artists who have art degrees who are terrible - and the same for artists with out an art degree. <br /><br />It's the body of work that is the tell all, not the degree.Elizabeth Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272113895118877329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-43550378860158482552009-05-01T16:51:00.000-04:002009-05-01T16:51:00.000-04:00All artists are self taught I think.

It makes me happy that a group of such creative women have taken time from their day to be so supportive of me.

My goodness do not let anyone ever make you feel like you are not a true artist. I myself have felt like I am not an artist, even though I do have my little degree in comercial art, and I have not pursued my passion like I should have been doing. Now with a bit of help I am seeing in a whole new way.<br /><br />Also Kim, the job that I have at this time requires me to do things that I do not have a degree in. And yes I do at times have others look down at me as though I am not as good as they. But hea I love my work and I am loving that I am finding my way back to my art.Wiggynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-6270341549193218062009-04-30T22:46:00.000-04:002009-04-30T22:46:00.000-04:00You are a wonderful Artist!!!

Formal education may enhance some of our skills or techniques, but in no way does it MAKE the artist!<br /><br />Being an artist is something that comes from within. It can't be taught!<br /><br />I went to Penn State for art education. And I have a degree in fine arts from Hofstra. But as far as I'm concerned, I didn't become an artist until I started making art A LOT, five years ago.Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-80833680433168106592009-04-30T14:29:00.000-04:002009-04-30T14:29:00.000-04:00you could always call yourself an autodidact artis...you could always call yourself an autodidact artist :)phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669096127325145722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-55884176056637557132009-04-30T13:46:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:46:00.000-04:00you know, the other day a well to do woman was 'br...you know, the other day a well to do woman was 'bragging' about her son getting into some highfalutin school for his masters(?) or whatever the highest high degree is in art. i thought what a waste of time and money. how bout get your ass out there and make some damn art.<br /><br />you can't teach creativity. you can teach craft...you can teach history (but you can learn that stuff from books and mentors). I never understood the value put on a paid-for education, i know...doctors, lawyers etc.. it but it is possible in less anal countries to learn from someone without all the huppala and years/money spent let alone killing someones' soul in the process.<br /><br />i know...plenty of people go to college and its the best time of their lives...and they do this and that. having a degree in art is like having 10 fingers and 10 toes. its what you do with those digits that matter, not what you adorn them with. now i sound nuts....<br />in otherwords...i got your back and then some.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669096127325145722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510577370628118176.post-21005566714449157402009-04-30T13:24:00.000-04:002009-04-30T13:24:00.000-04:00I will back you up Kim!
