在香港的教育制度底下，「視覺藝術科」並非必修科，所以要很有興趣及潛質的人才會修讀「視覺藝術科」，才有較大優勢進入大學藝術系，才較易進入藝術圈，從而成為藝術家。因此，作為大學藝術系本科畢業身份的藝術家，當然會比並非挾藝術系本科畢業身份的藝術家多。從另一角度看，並非大學藝術系畢業都能夠在香港成為獨當一面的藝術家，在乎其對藝術是否抱有非比尋常的熱情。

’Visual Arts’ is not a compulsory subject in the education system of Hong Kong. Generally speaking, only those who are talented or deeply interested in this subject would study this elective subject of Visual Arts. Only they would then have an advantage to enter the Art department of universities. Only they would then be able to easily reach the channel to go in the art world and become artists. The number of artists who hold a Fine Arts degree, therefore, far exceeds the number of artists who do not have such academic background. In other words, for one who does not hold an Arts degree, but want to become an outstanding artist, s/he must be extraordinarily passionate about art.
