In today’s society where the demand for arts and creative talents is constantly increasing, art majors are becoming more popular, particularly, in North America. People who are talented in art can expect good job prospects in a great number of fields such as advertising, media design, industrial design, interaction design, landscape design, environmental design, visual art, professional painting, criticism, sculpture, photography, animation, game production, cinematography, etc.
Not only does arts education equip students with advanced critical thinking abilities, it also helps their emotional development and increase their academic achievement. Art has been associated with progress in math, reading, cognitive abilities, critical thinking and verbal skills. Researchers have also linked the arts to the improvements in concentration, confidence, and teamwork.
Many businesses including Microsoft, Citicorp, Apple, and General Electric have acknowledged the importance of the arts in the training of students.
If the art students plan to develop their career further in Canada after graduation, they can obtain Canadian immigration status in the future. But if they decide to return to their home country, graduating from famous North American universities broadens their horizons and gives them the opportunity to perform more confidently in any competitive job market.
