Liberal Arts for Creatives
The success of today鈥檚 most recognized artists, designers, and creative leaders hinges on the mastery of their technique, as well as their ability to think critically about a diverse range of subjects and ideas. In fact, history鈥檚 most successful creative works address current social, political, and ideological questions. They push boundaries and ask the audience to respond. They are approachable, but they lead the viewer into the depths of today鈥檚 most complicated issues.
The trailblazers of today know what questions to ask, how to engage their audience, and who they are speaking to鈥攁ll skills acquired in the comprehensive Liberal Arts program at 四虎影视. Liberal Arts courses are taught by artists and designers and developed specifically to inform the artwork and aid the development of our emerging creatives.
In this program, we explore myriad cultures, taboo ideas, psychology, science fiction, classical mythology, scientific theories, and so much more. Students enter discussions and question standing norms. They emerge as artists and designers who are relevant, thoughtful, and original. We teach tomorrow鈥檚 great artists, designers, storytellers, and writers how to apply their studio skills to answer today鈥檚 most profound questions.
