Wondering what an online art degree can do for you? Take a look around you - almost everything you see, touch, and use in the course of a day has been modified or enhanced at some point by a designer. The color, composition, line, and shape of every product - from furniture to computers, beverage bottles, automobile door handles, or Q-tips - is carefully thought out by artistic professionals. You don't have to live in a gray nine to five world, add color to your life with a course or degree in art!

Here are just a few of the careers open to art school graduates:

Graphic artists use their creative talent and technical skills to bring the unknown or invisible into existence across a wide range of delivery vehicles and communication channels, such as print, advertising, broadcast, marketing, web, video games, or multimedia entertainment. (AIGA)

Interior decorators establish a "feel" for an interior space, making it attractive and functional with the addition of furniture, accessories, lighting fixtures, and decorative elements like paintings or wall paper. Interior designers not only enhance the look of an interior but also manipulate the architectural integrity of the space to improve productivity and quality of life, and to protect the safety and welfare of those who use it. (Wikipedia)

Industrial designers are responsible for optimizing the function, value, and appearance of commercial products and systems, taking into consideration the end user's visual and tactile experience, safety, and convenience. (IDSA)

CAD (computer-aided design) drafters and designers draw upon their creativity and attention to detail to draw commercial products, dies (metal stamping), molds, and tooling requirements for manufacturers, or to create architectural sketches and plans. (Ferris)

These are just a few of the many career paths open to art school graduates. If you've ever had a deep desire to express yourself artistically, but weren't sure whether you could make a living from it - think no more! An online program in ART or DESIGN can serve as your palette for creation AND open up a world of interesting job opportunities. Whether you are interested in the graphic arts, interior design, design, CAD or any other artistic field, you can find an online school here!
