Reasons for Choosing Christie\'s Education Modern Art

¶ … Christies School of Art

Studying art at Christie's School of Art in New York would be a dream come true. First of all, to study art in New York -- one of the most important cities in the art world -- would create major opportunities for me while studying and after my studies are finished. Not only would I get a great education at Christies, but being in New York where there are so many world-renowned museums like the MOMA and the Guggenheim would offer me the opportunity to expand my knowledge of contemporary art outside of the classroom environment. Not only is New York the home to prestigious museums, but I am excited to explore the burgeoning art galleries in places outside of Manhattan -- specifically in Brooklyn and Queens. I feel that there is a lot one can learn about art by getting a glimpse inside the art studios of up-and-coming contemporary artists. These, after all, are the masters of tomorrow. I am so excited to take advantage of all that New York has to offer in terms of expanding my knowledge of art and its purpose in the world.

Working with professionals in different art-related jobs would open my eyes to career paths that I don't know much about in the art field and I feel that it would be incredible training from individuals who are actually out there and active in the art world. The fact that Christie's instructors come from all around the globe is inspiring as well as I feel I would really get a much broader education and understanding of the art world on a global scale. I am also excited to begin building a networking base of individuals in the art-related jobs. Christie's School of Art in New York would give me the chance to do that.

Another aspect I really like about Christie's School of Art in New York is the fact that all of the students have access to resources and staff at the infamous Christie's Auction House. My plan is to study contemporary art from 1850 to modern day and the chance to be able to explore the museums and galleries located at Christie's Auction House would be an incredible addition to my studies and an experience that I will not find at any other art school.

After spending much time researching the school, I think that Christie's School of Art New York would be a perfect fit for me. I feel that given the New York's plethora of resources -- including the New York Public Library -- I would have so much knowledge at my fingertips. The resources from Christie's for professional training and academic learning are things that will help me grow not only as a student of art -- but as a person as well. I am excited to absorb everything I can from the visiting lecturers who travel to Christie's from all around the work as well as from seminars conducted by art professionals.
