In a time where the cost of art education is considerable, and when some are suggesting that the university sector is entering a post-educational-bubble, a pertinent question is whether one needs an art degree to be an artist, or indeed to have a fulfilling engagement with art. This little book is written for anyone interested in art, from art students to gallery goers. It offers a foundation on which anyone interested in art can immediately start to build. It is made up of eight perspectives, intended to help enrich your engagement with art. Ib Vindbjerg has worked in art education in London at CSM, Tate Modern and other art institutions. He has written this book as 'The First Book I Wish I'd Had at Art College.' Textbook. 3. (Revised edition of Through The Haze of Art Appreciation).
