The brilliant performers in
every field of art agree on one
thing: Talent, alone, is not enough. It
is sometimes all that a young man or
woman needs to get started in art. But
to move into the circle of top pro
fessionals, an artist must know all the
modern, advanced techniques of pic
ture making.
Only then can he develop a style
of his own the ability to think
out picture problemsand the crafts
manship which will set him apart from
run-of-the-mill artists.
You can't get this knowledge of
methods from "on the job" experience
alone. Or from time spent with a
morgue and clips trying to figure out
the techniques of name artists. You
certainly can't fit a regular schedule of
classroom study into your busy work
day. And you don't want to waste time
traveling to and from school.
It Takes Success To Teach Sucoess
That's why home study with the
Famous Artists Schools makes such
good sense if you're ambitious and
recognize the need for more training.
You study in the privacy of your own
home or studio. Set your own pace.
Concentrate on the things you need
help with most.
Even more important, you benefit
directly from the long years of success
ful experience, the trade secrets and
techniques of America's most fam
ous artists. You learn the short-cuts
and the special ways each of us has de
vised to work out creative problems.
And your completed assignments are
constructively criticized by a method
which we sincerely believe is the most
personal and effective ever developed.
Our original course in Commercial
Art and Illustration proved so effective
that two equally great courses - one in
fine arts painting and another in pro
fessional cartooning - have since been
created.
All three courses follow the sound
principle that is the cornerstone of the
Famous Artists Schools: It takes suc
cess to teach success.
FreeComplete Information On The
Three Famous Artiata Couraea
There are very few artists who could
not profit from one or another of the
Famous Artists courses. If you're am
bitious and want to increase your
earning power, you'll want to know
more about our Commercial Art
Illustration course or our course
in professional cartooning. Perhaps
you've already made your mark and
now want to master the techniques of
fine arts painting for your leisure and
your retirement years.
But even if you have no interest in
further training for yourself, your ad
vice on how to become a successful
artist is probably asked by others from
time to time. Surely you know some
talented person an assistant or a
friend - who might someday become
a brilliant performer with the proper
professional training.
The best advice you can give these
promising young hopefuls is to sug
gest that they write the Famous Art
ists Schools for information about any
of the three art courses offered. Actual
ly, more than one out of five Famous
Artists Schools' students Were already
professionals at the time they enrolled
many of them recommended to us
by leading artists and art executives.
For information, simply address the
Famous Artists Schools, Studio 830,
Westport, Conn. There's no obliga
tion, of course.
