If you are indeed looking for a fresh start, or at least a change in direction, you need to know where to look to further your education. Firstly, try checking out local universities and colleges in your general area. Do you they have the program you want, are you willing to travel to go to an institution that has your program.
What exactly do you want to do relating to art/design? Is it fine art? Design? What kind of design; there’s illustrative, graphic, motion, exhibit for starters. And the list goes on.
So the next step is to get your applications and build your portfolio.
So once you know what you want to do and where, all that’s left is to hand in your application and portfolio.
