Art student

 To many, an art student is a strange bird who has made the choice to pursue a relatively useless degree. While there may be a bit of truth in this from a social perspective, this idea comes from cultural stereotypes and the way art is perceived in K-12 education.

So, to clear this us, consider that art students study not only the visual language—arguably the most powerful in contemporary culture—but also written and spoken language, critical thinking, aesthetics and other disciplines in liberal arts.
They are problem solvers who work hard to develop their own personal voices.
They make art in a range of 2, 3 and 4-dimensional media, including the computer. They learn to use all the tools in the woodshop and might even learn to weld.
Is there a more complete area of study in the college curriculum?
So, art students, work hard, develop your voice, educate others when you can, persevere.
