Carnegie Mellon Artists Working Across Disciplines and in The Community
Carnegie Mellon University: "The idea of an “interdisciplinary” arts education seems like a contradiction. Classical arts education comes from a tradition of intense conservatory study that explores creative production within a closed studio setting. However, today’s artists are challenging themselves more than ever, crossing disciplinary boundaries and influencing other sectors and industries with their creative skills."

I understand both the importance of the conservatory approach and the interdisciplinary way. I just think that the interdisciplinary approach gives one more exposure which is a intrinsic part of being a good designer and an artist.
Knowing more than just your fiend is key in doing good art. If anything, i think that artists should be the most well-rounded because of the nature of our work.
I think the absorption of information through life experience and interdisciplinary education is key in becoming a well rounded, open minded artist with vision beyond what one might learn in class. I do however, resent the notion that being in a Conservatory limits us. The structure merely gives us a higher platform of education and intellectualism with which to view the world, as opposed to having experiences which you can not appreciate.
