Just because the person did not have a successful art career doesn't mean they aren't and artist and didn't become a better one.

- zabzonk 4y agoof course, anyone can be an artist (or not). my point is that you don't have to spend $80K to potentially fail in becoming one. interesting to see that talent might beat out education is no longer an idea here
- kdmccormick 4y agoTalent beating out education is OBVIOUSLY still an idea here, you're just asking disingenuous, leading questions. Is $80k on its own supposed to turn a non-artist into an artist? No, nobody is saying that. You need to be talented to get admitted in the first place. Would $80k lead to lessons, connections, and experiences that could make an artist's career more successful? Quite possibly. Or not. It's a risky investment: you pay a lot, and maybe it pays off, maybe you break even, maybe you end up behind. I'm not defending the >$80k price tag of art school. I'm saying that it's not irrational for a budding artist to see it as worth the gamble.
