Hi! I’ve applied to a few ACPs for Art K-12 and I want to know more information about each one in terms of how good of a fit they are. I applied to Teachers of Tomorrow, ITeach, and Teachworthy. I’ve already been accepted into teachers of tomorrow. What has been your experience in each program?
Hey guys. So I just graduated with a degree in animation this past May, however the past year I realized I didn’t really want to work in animation anymore. I know animation has never been the most stable industry in the world but it seems like even the best of the best can’t even find work anymore. It just feels like a sinking ship at this point between AI and layoffs. I only finished my degree to finish what I started.
I’m wondering what kind of jobs I can get where I wouldn’t have to go back to school or retail. Like maybe there’s some aspects of my degree that offer transferable skills? Is there anyone else in the same position that has any advice? I’m not really looking to pivot into the games industry as well, since it looks like they’re struggling too.
I have a degree in animation and I’m stuck between doing an ACP or going back to get a bachelors or masters of art education. I’m wondering when it comes to hiring would school districts prefer to hire applicants with an art education bachelors over people who got their certificate through an ACP? I live in Texas if that helps.
For artists that have day jobs to support their art business in the side what are your day jobs? I’m trying to find a career that can help support my dreams of selling my own art!
I live in Texas and graduating with a degree in animation however towards the end of my degree I realized I wanted to switch paths and pursue art teaching. For awhile I was considering alternative licensure online but now I have the opportunity to go to grad school debt free. I’m just not sure if I should pursue an MA in art education or get an M.Ed which could potentially allow me to be a principal in the future if I really wanted to and also teach other subjects. Ultimately I really would love to be an art teacher but I also understand those jobs are hard to come by and it would be a good idea to certify in other subjects as well. What would be your recommendations? Is a masters of art education more worth it or an M.Ed? Would I be more marketable with a masters of art education?
I’m about to graduate with an animation degree (BA) but I’m not really interested in pursuing animation anymore. I’ve been thinking about being an art teacher but I’ve heard it’s competitive to find jobs. I’m not sure if it would be best to go back and get a BFA in art education or if I should go the ACP route. I haven’t taken any painting related classes but I’ve been painting and drawing my whole life. Even sold art at art fairs…. I’m worried that if I do ACP I’ll be passed up for someone who has a traditional art education major in the application process. What would you guys recommend honestly? I’m willing to work anywhere even charter schools or even in rural areas. I live in Texas if that helps.
Is there anyone that can do graduation photos on campus???
