Thriving in the Art world
Art involves different human activities that rotate around the creation of visual works and presenting artworks which demonstrate the creator’s imagination (Balzer). There are types of arts including painting, photography, music, sculptures, drawing, graphic design and many more.
According to the three Alumni videos, the Lori Nix video on photography, Claire video on graphic design, and Allison’s video on art history. Nix explains that one has to practice their skills to make them more presentable and concentrating on building their skills during their free time. Secondly, to thrive in the artwork one has to study as many classes as possible in the art world to ensure that they have a wide variety of skills that are on-demand in the market. According to Claire, the passion for arts can be an inborn thing where some people find it interesting from their childhood. Studying and connecting with people helps one understand the details of certain art. In the graphic designing, being aggressive is the major aspect to thrive, this means showcasing your work, socializing with different people to publicize your work and through that people see potential in you, and you get tasks assigned to you. Also, being nice while presenting your work can add marks for you (Sheehan). According to Allison, the individuals interested in joining the art history and museums to be specific, need to attend various training programs such as attachments and internships to give them basic knowledge in the museum. Also, doing research and accessing different resources that are provided on different platforms.
In conclusion, to get started and thrive in the art world, much effort on the practice of skills is needed. Also, individuals have to portray suitable creativity skills. Also, dedicating regular time to production, and maintaining a consistent body of artwork. Lastly, showcasing your work in different events.
