Ashcan Studio of Art

There are a lot of different careers in the arts, including Toy Design, Product Design, and Industrial Design. You can major in Toy Design at The Fashion Institute of Technology and OTIS, 3-D Design at The School of Visual Arts, and Industrial Design at Pratt Institute, Rhode Island School of Design, Carnegie Mellon University and ArtCenter. A toy designer is someone who designs and creates toys. ... An industrial designer develops the ideas for products like appliances, electronics, shoes, cars and toys. They combine art, business, and engineering to make products that people use every day. In this video we discuss a little about each of these programs:

If you’re applying to a high ranked Graphic Design program, such as the ones offered at Pratt, RISD, SVA, MICA, Carnegie Mellon and Parsons you’ll need a very good Art Portfolio to get in. These three students applied and were accepted into many of the top Graphic Design programs with scholarships, and each of them now attend The School of Visual Arts for Design. The main goal of the Art Portfolio you’ll use to apply to a graphic design program, is to communicate with admissi...ons the kind of person you are, your creative thought process, your design sensibility, your knowledge and your perspective as a designer.

How Things Have Changed at Ashcan Studio During this crisis, you now have to consider pivoting the way you make art. Maybe you used to be in an art class, where everyone was together offering feedback, and working alongside you with the same goals. And maybe you had an art teacher right there to guide you through the art making process. In the near future you will return to making art in the ways that are more comfortable for you, but now you have to adjust, to fit the curre...nt time we’re in. You want to come rocketing out of this with more skill, and more artwork. Instead of using this time to take a break, or to think about how things could or should be different, use the extra time at home to express how you feel creatively through your art, and invest in your future as an artist or designer. Decide to win, shift your mindset from negative to positive by promising yourself that you will be better off after this. And then take steps each day to improve. Ashcan is now offering our classes online. While it’s not the same as being physically part of the Ashcan community, we continue to be a fun and inspiring community online, and joining these classes is a great way to keep growing your art skills. We also have a wealth of information, advice and tips on making outstanding art work for yourself, and for your Art Portfolio and Art Competitions such as the Scholastic Art Awards, on our YouTube channel, and Instagram feed.
