looking for any resources or advice that would help me in better understanding the different visual arts majors there are in college, as I am sort of unsure of what I want to major in. My major in HS right now is AP drawing/painting, and I like working in that medium, but I don’t want to go into fine arts as I feel I won’t be able to financially support myself on that post-graduation. I am interested in graphic design/animation, but I am not sure my work aligns with that. Also thinking about a minor in CS, so any info on that as well would be great. I am very lost on this topic so any help would be appreciated.
You may want to take a look at UNM’s interdisciplinary film and digital arts programs. Many different concentrations ranging from film production to gaming & animation to film criticism. Student has the option to minor in business–which will help open door to jobs in the art professions.
