- need to develop a portfolio of work in order to apply for further art education
Bachelor's degrees in Fine Arts
A bachelor's level fine arts degree is suitable for those with perhaps a bit of experience in art, who studied related subjects at high school and are wanting to pursue their passion further. At bachelor level, a fine arts degree will offer opportunities to gain multidisciplinary skills as well as more specialized skills in a specific art medium. For example, a fine art student may choose to specialize in drawing while also gaining more broad experience in other subjects that will compliment and widen the student's skills and frame of reference.
Master's degrees in Fine Arts
A master's degree in fine arts is an opportunity to take the skills and knowledge you've learned at lower levels (e.g. bachelor's degree) and develop them to an advanced level. Oftentimes, fine arts master students will focus more on one particular medium of fine art, such as photography, drawing, painting or graphic design, with the goal of becoming a specialist artist in that area.
