Art school is a colloquial term for any educational institution (whether secondary, post-secondary/undergraduate, or graduate/postgraduate) with a primary focus on the visual arts, especially graphic design, illustration, painting, photography, and sculpture. They are distinguished from larger institutions which may also offer majors or degrees in the visual arts, but only as one part of a broad-based range of programs (such as the liberal arts and sciences).
Students in art school are typically known to have bohemian values and an art school lifestyle. The art school lifestyle is often characterised with the high sensitivity to implicit or subtextual meanings, contempt for mass media, being sexually provocative
