Art schoolis a colloquial term for any educational institution (whether secondary, post-secondary/undergraduate, or graduate/postgraduate) with a primary focus on the visual arts, especially graphic design, illustration,
painting, photography, and sculpture. They are distinguished from larger
institutions which may also offer majors or degrees in the visual arts,
but only as one part of a broad-based range of programs (such as the
liberal arts and sciences). France's École des Beaux-Arts is perhaps the
first model for such organized instruction, breaking with a tradition of
master/apprentice instruction. |
