What would you recommend studying before going into an art college? (Btw if you dropped an artbook....queen.... I would buy it in a heartbeat!!!!)

my biggest piece of advice is to study foundations! 

im not sure what youre thinking of majoring in, but learning foundations will give you a wider breadth to expand your style/ability if that makes sense?? one of my art profs told me to “learn the rules first to break them correctly**.”

**though there are some exceptions and extent that this applies to, but this is something i often apply to my artmaking 

i know studying foundations might seem boring and uninteresting, but having that under your belt will definitely help you in the long run!
