Title: Masters of Fine Arts
Post by: cbartlett419 on November 29, 2008, 07:57:25 AM
That's it, it's going to happen. Considering that this is the largest social network I'm actively involved in, I figured what the hell, somebody has an opinion. Where'd you go?, what'd you think? How about anybody that study art at University of Tennessee @ Knoxville or anybody that study art anywhere? No shit, any input would be helpful, peace

This is where I would start:

http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/grad/art/search (http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/grad/art/search)

I know nothing about Tennessee's program, but if I were to do it, I would go big - somewhere around the big art museums, i.e. New York, Chicago, even look into programs abroad - London, Paris or St Pete.

Is this for your personal enrichement or career advancement?

It all depends on which media you are looking at to study.

I may be able to make some suggestions depending on the answer to above.   [thumbsup]

I'll have a BFA in sculpture with a minor in photography.

marketability, security, education, pride, achievement, I did this whole college thing a little differently than most, married halfway through, worked alot, transferred states(twice), so I've been wrestling w/ this obstacle long enough that to spend another three years at it would not kill me, besides to tie a bow on it would be better than sex. I'd like to teach college and it's a must, plus it's a fantastic way to network. I've got complete support from the brunette. Financially it's feasible. And most importantly, why the make the beast with two backs not, this is the only time I'll be able to learn at this scale. excuse me my nerd is showing [coffee]

If you're willing to relocate and scarifice part of the riding season, I would suggest Alfred University (http://art.alfred.edu/graduate/index.html). 

The are rank 10th overall, and their sculpture program one of the best in the country. It is a very competitive program to get in.

I'm a bit biased though, AU is my alma mater.  I had lots of friends it the art school. 

The facilities are top notch, and they are getting ready to add a new building/studio space to the school. 

Alfred is a cool little village too. 

Good luck with your search.  [thumbsup]
