Dede Young

The thing that I enjoyed most about Dede's talk was that she didn't look down on art students, instead she talked to us like the adults we are. Dede has an interesting view on artists, one that honestly, I haven't heard before. She believe artists are at the top in the art world hierarchy. The feeling that I get form most people is that they feel that artists are at the lower end of the food chain. But with Dede, she believes artists should know how to promote themselves, document, store, and sell their work. This way, we have more control over our work and do not have to rely on others to succeed.
