1: DIY
- free, just be an artist
- demands a certain level of focus, and consciousness about your own work, as well as self-criticism
- it's essentially just continuing your practice, but must make sure you do it in a continually thoughtful way. Maybe there are periods of time where this is more intense and less commercially based. Maybe these can involve artist residencies.
2: Part Time
- ability to complete an MA alongside work- financial benefits but also doesn't take you out of the industry if you've already got your foot in
3: Go hard or go home
- the big guns, RCA, Konstfack etc
- with the prestige they get you can only hope that they are worthy, and will open your eyes to the best artistic experience...
- you will be surrounded by the 'cream of the crop'... inevitably getting a foot in the door but I wonder how much this relies on ALREADY knowing people too
- ££££££££££
- very hard to get in!
Overall, I realise an MA isn't something I want to shoot for just yet. I don't feel particularly ripe in my ideas or work, but I think I need to develop myself further before committing money to another period of education. My main reason for doing one is for the environment in which I can think about my work, but there is definitely the added benefit also of being recognised academically / to teach.
With the money and time that would be invested, I need to be SURE that it is something I want to do- or rather, it is the right time and place.
