Talk to Your Kids About Art School

I've always called art my "drug of choice," a joke perfectly illustrated by these great ads from Detroit's College for Creative Studies. These hilarious parodies of anti-drug campaigns draw the obvious parallel between drug use and what many consider an equally reckless and irresponsible activity: becoming an artist. 

Hit this link for the whole series and be sure to listen to their great radio ad.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

(Regarding my blog) A real cat bath would be like the movie,"The Exorcist" But I bet Henley would sit cutely in the bubbles. And your post is hilarious! I had a friend inquire how my "hobby" was going once. That comment made my head want to spin around!

These are great. My brother spent a couple years at Parsons before deciding to be an engineer. Parents played a big part in getting him to realize his talent and apply to art school.

I feel you need to nurture your child's interest. My son spent so much time playing computer and board games. He's an avid reader. Now he's the lead designer at a game company. Sometimes they follow their heart.

These are funny but equally effective and thought-provoking illustrations.

It's funny because it's true. Oy. Both of my grandfathers were of the opinion that it was a waste of time and money to send a girl to college anyway, but adding art school to that was just laughable. Sigh.

This is great Christina! Glad to see the advertisers over there in Detroit are thinking outside the box! PS, Merry Christmas and hope you have a fantastic start to your 2012!!!!!
