Artist Apprenticeship
14 years ago
General
First off, this is just some random idea that popped into my head when I was in my art history class recently, when the professor was talking about Cimabue and Giotto, and how some believe that Giotto was an art apprentice to Cimabue and what not. I don't know if he really was or wasn't, but that's not really the point.
What I'm trying to get at, is that the idea of a modern art apprenticeship sort of thing popped into my head, and it wouldn't leave me alone. I've seen a few artists in the furry field that have such similar styles, that it's easy to get them confused, and I believe this is because of a sort of teacher/student relationship between the two. And I thought it would be a really helpful and interesting experience to have an artist that is much greater than me (most anyone) show me the ropes and help me improve my art. I tend to improve more, and do better work when I have someone there, one on one, helping me and directing me in a way I should focus, instead of just me randomly drawing over and over and trying to improve all on my own.
So basically, the idea behind this journal is to see what the rest of you fuzzy people think of this idea, and if there is anyone out there that might be willing to help. Or maybe other people who want to improve can volunteer here.
tl;dr What are people's thoughts on an art master/apprentice sorta thing?
