Art college tip! Never get caught up with school ranking. Instead, do research on what kinds of work each program has you do. (i.e., the type of design RISD has you do is worlds away from that of Carnegie Mellon)

Artists: Did you ever have a bad art-school critique that really set you back, knocked you off your pins? What was it? Keep it short; don’t exaggerate. Often, it can be the least thing. Have you ever made a “revenge” work of art? What was it?
