I'm excited to offer this comprehensive seminar for students interested in arts and entertainment. Gain insightful perspectives into various career options within the Entertainment Industry, such as Animation, Video Games, Movies, and Theme Parks. I'll showcase over 25 different specializations of professional artists, providing examples of working artist portfolios. 

This seminar will go over art education in depth. Art schools are typically pretty expensive, but I present lots of alternative options to art schools that most people do not know about.  We will go over the pros and cons of each option to find the best option that is right for you. 

We will tackle important questions including:

✳️ Should I choose a university or an art school?
✳️ Do I need an art degree to pursue a professional career?
✳️ What are employers really looking for in a portfolio?
✳️ What's the average salary for working artists?

When you sign up for this seminar, you'll receive a 30-minute video, a 50-page PDF, and a 10-page workbook to complement this seminar.
