When you should and shouldn't take Multimedia Arts as a course (Philippines, Taglish)

Hello, design fam! I've noticed that a lot of students are asking me if Multimedia Arts fit their passion or likes. Are you a bit confused on what you should take in college? Let me explain my own perspective on choosing the right design course in college.

For me, the main reason why most will enroll in MMA is that it provides a Bachelor's Degree. If you specialize, the closer you will get is a certificate. Now, not all of us can afford to be in business or freelancers right away, you have to be employed to sustain our daily needs. Most companies will still look for DIPLOMA in their pre-screening process. As an artist, let's try to ground ourselves in these realities while we want to show what should be an ideal scenario. Because, ultimately artists are the extension of God in creating. Let's all make this universe how we feel our Creator wants us to give our talents and skills.

Here is my take on this matter; as Robert Heinlein famously wrote 'Specialization Is for Insects', when it comes to media industry if one wants to get big then learn MMA, besides, most disciplines in media like art, photography, videography, animation, etc. are interrelated. Whether which one you focus after finishing the study, you can be more equipped than just having specific knowledge of specific media art.

Hi, I'm grade 11 ABM student. Tbh pinili ko po yang strand na yan because I want to have a business in the future, a cafe for example. But at the same time I want to be an artist, I love anime, manga, manhwa and mahua so I always draw 2D characters, I also do digital arts. But I'm not really that skilled though and I want to improve both my digital and traditional art but I don't know what course should I take, kasi po kung fine arts, more on traditional art lang at kung mma naman po more on digital naman...

nice vid. i share ko to sa anak ko pra mas lalo sya mainspire. nasali sya sa National Competition sa ASMEPS last year sa Baguio. First time nya nung Grade 8 sya nag Top 6 agad sya sa On the spot poster making..Im vry proud. .parang trip nya lang mag edit digital at mag paint and draw but we noticed parang nilalaro nya lang itong skills and talent nato naka focus pa din sya sa academics nya. . Ur videos gave knowledges and to enlighten students why they should take MMA as a course..

Okay so I hear you. If you really want your career based on one thing like making movies for example then take film BUUUUT for me it’s different I really like everything that comes with being a creative like film, photography, editing, animation etc and that’s why I want to take MMA. I want to widen my skill set but I would also like to make it big in animation, game developing like areas and if I just go to animation school I won’t get the other MMA qualities I want to learn about. It’s still a good idea to take MMA right?

I'm a gr12 student and til now di pa rin ako nakakapag decide which course shall I take. Di ko rin kasi alam kung ano ba talaga gusto ko maging. It's too frustating. Just a couple of months ago, I was planning to study law, switched to political science, then if not, architecture nalang. Kagabi ko lang ni-consider taking mma pero nung nakita ko yung mga gastos napapa nvm na naman ako. In my situation, gusto ko sana yung mga courses na at least related sa arts, kahit papano kasi marunong naman ako kaso hindi pa enough in terms of skills and creativeness. And the funny things is, everytime my fam asks me what course I like, I have different answers, nakakabaliw legit.

Hi po ate I'm planning to shift course po, yung naunang course po napili ko ay "information technology" pero hindi ko po talaga gusto at parang hindi po ako nag excel, pinaka may interest po ako ay more on editing videos hindi po ako ganun kagaling pero nag eenjoy po ako sya gawin. nadiscover ko po ang multimedia course dahil sa friend ko po, hindi po ako magaling mag drawing, zero knowledge din po ako sa graphics design or kahit ano po na design. pero nacucurious po ako matutunan ito at gusto ko din po idagdag sa skills na pwede ko matutunan. pero parang medyo nag aalinlangan or natatakot lang po ako na baka hindi din po ako mag excel tulad sa drawing or design.

After searching and searching I think I get it a little now.
Im sure that my passion is art but I cant help second guessing that I really need to take a side course for back up, now that the government is thinking of remowving G11 and 12 I need to be sure what course to take

Im thinking after enrolling to take HUMMS I might have made a wrong choice instead of picking arts and design.

But I really know for my self how I love animating, im thankfull/great full that there are so many ate and kuya to explain/give advice to us❤ appreciate it 🥰 so much.

Hello, I'm currently a g12 student and I plan on taking the MMA course. Kaso my problem is gusto ko magfocus lang sa digital side ng arts and I haven't set my eyes on a SPECIFIC job yet (I just want to be in the art industry)

[yuanilustre]

i'm a grade 11 student who took the abm strand. i started searching abt cources related to abm and i found my first choice which is bsba in financial management, but i do have my second choice which is mma course. ever since grade 7, nag e-edit na talaga ako ng videos & photos. i recently edited our mv project, that's why i got interested in multimedia arts. and right now, i can't choose what course should i take in college 😓

Hi! I'm worried because I'm not very good at one aspect of multimedia—drawing and 2D/3D animation. Would it still be advisable for me to take multimedia arts as a course?

[marydelfebrada]

[khate]

Difference po ng fine arts and multimedia??? currently abm student po ako pero decided to take mma rather than marketing managementt i have a business po a handmade business all abt art po and im creative doubting myself po if im on the right track talaga malapit napo entrance exam and im reallyyy scaredd

[goizanagi]

This is kinda confusing, but I really wanted to work as a Graphic Designer such as making logos, banners and that kind of stuff.

Hi ate Ica, may i ask something, ano po yung pwedeng course na inclined with Filming and Videgraphy?

[Lunarmax]

Im a 23 year old slack off. Kami ang first generation ng K to 12 at noong college ng drop out ako ng school dahil kinuha kung course is Entrepreneurship kahit na ayoko. Nag drop out ako kasi mahilig ako gumawa ng Videos, Film, Video Editing, Music composing, photo manipulation, Drawing, Writing stories etc. Fit ba sakin MMA? Kasi ito talaga gusto kong work at pangarap ko maging trabaho ito. Well minimum wage earner lang ako at nalulungkot ako kasi ilang taon ang nasayang sakin. Pinanood ko na rin mga videos mo wayback 2019 nung nag drop out ako. Ngayong lang ako naglalakas ng loob na mag aral ulit. Thank you sa info mo. Solid ❤️‍🔥 sana mapansin itong comment ko

Need po bang magaling sa traditional drawing if mag Multimedia Arts?

[FLEURONTOXICA]

do you think getting into orgs is a great way to get extra learning for things outside of your chosen program? I don't want to take the extra stuff MMA has to offer because I really want to learn and master animation and concept design. But I also want to have ENOUGH knowledge in using photoshop as a means of making graphic design outputs.

As for graphic design principles im confident that animation teaches that too. But more on the animatic side of things.

I do have another question. Do you have a mindset to suggest for people who want to take programs specialized on one thing but are afraid of only being stuck on it?? Because that's my current fear. I want to get better at art and animation but I'm afraid that I might only be stuck in that one place when I wanna do things like AE motion graphics, digital assets for online entertainers and the like.

[lizabel]

tanong lang po, does a degree in multimedia arts affect your position and salary in jobs? im struggling to choose between being practical or choosing my passion because i heard from a lot that it's hard to find stable and essential jobs if art related, im not that wealthy to begin with and im unsure if being a freelancer is enough. So, is taking that degree worth it?

[tamagoo]

I really want MMA as my course for college but walang MMA dito sa Bohol. And i dont think maaford namin ang tuition if i were to choose MMA ): .
