Art school culture

Students in art school are typically thought to have bohemian values and to seek a particular lifestyle. The pursuit of this lifestyle, which pursuit sometimes takes primacy over the production of the work itself, is characterised by a sensitivity to implicit or subtextual meanings, a contempt for mass media, attempts at sexual provocation, and strong interests in social protest and cultural theory. While the lifestyle itself may be pursued with a vigor earlier generations associated with spiritual vocations, these characteristics are also a stereotype. Professional art colleges such as the AICAD member schools have curriculums no more nor less rigorous than other colleges or universities.
