An Artist at heart.
The artesian field of work is not for everyone, it is generally a skilled trade learned throughout the years, or it could be a natural talent. For those with an artistic flare, like I, it can provide a deeper meaning and inner satisfaction, with the desire to evolve artistically. In entrepreneurship, the art field is dependent on demand and sales of one’s own specialty product or service in order to be successfully lucrative. However, I can expand my career possibilities within this field of work easily by being flexible and using my work experience in combination with my natural talent and education in Art as my background. Companies of all sizes often search for skilled candidates to perform these types of artesian

In the article “Tomorrow’s Jobs” posted by the, it is states, “Demand for various goods and services determine employment in the industries providing them.” The demand can also be the ability to reach the consumer who will purchase the various goods or services.

Department of Labor, it seems that I have made a good choice for my future. The employment in retail trade is expected to increase by 11 percent due to population and personal income growth.

While a studio artist is only $44,380. This gives me the security and stability I need for my family.

He went to school, but he didn't study the type of material that made him happy. While the technical aspects of art became clearer, the education did not lead to passion or employment. "I graduated to no jobs so I decided to freelance. I have been freelancing ever since," he said.
“These days I live in three worlds: my dreams, and the experiences of my new life, which trigger memories from the past." Trying new jobs you don't enjoy will cause you to dream of what you’d rather be doing, and this will lead you to find a passion. The tricky part is pursuing your passion and following up on it. Putting yourself out there and taking new opportunities will expand your horizon. Finding your passion and calling takes time, it won’t happen overnight. As long as you are constantly active in what you feel is your passion; sooner or later you’ll find your calling and all it has to
In fact, art has always been an inseparable part of my life. My journey with art started when I was still in Iran and my mother enlisted me in my first extracurricular art class. After moving to Beijing, the capital of China, I became fascinated with Chinese painting that is very different from western paintings in both mediums and techniques. Thus, I signed up for one-to-one classes for Chinese Gongbi and Shui-mo painting. When my journey brought me to the United States, I took advantage of the flexible high school curriculum that I previously did not have and enrolled in a variety of Art classes. I was able to make my own short animation, explore different mediums such as watercolor, acrylic, and clay, learn to develop in the dark room what I photographed with my film camera, and create works of art such as sculptures and paintings, all of which have been displayed at my schools galleries. After my virtual tour of Jewett Arts Center, I fancied of walking down the halls and be inspired by the great variety of artworks. The art center resonates the promise that I can further explore my artistic abilities and perhaps step out of my comfort zone and lead a new adventure with oil
Consequently, a loss in the artisan and artistic labor markets will have a greater effect on society than just a loss in workforce numbers. A loss in artists, musicians, craftsmen, or any largely creativity based occupation, would lead to a major decline in new creative inventions and innovations. Not only is technology damaging the arts, but also education. (Szekely, 2016, para.11-14) Budget cuts for art and music classes have gone through the roof. Over just the past ten years national funding for the art has dropped nearly 25%. In recent national budget plans national funding for the arts has taken an even larger setback. (Kennicott, 2017, para. 9) These cuts will ultimately impact, “four independent cultural agencies — the National Endowment
Since my enrollment in the Graphic Design Program at Ferris State University, I have confronted many challenges and have faced many adversities, all of which have helped me grow and develop my skills as a young designer. One of the many challenges I have been handed is gaining the financial stability to provide for my education. Although working while being a full-time student is helpful at times, it does not go without difficulties.
It has been discovered that, “Nearly three decades ago, 61.1% of workers said they liked their jobs. That number has slid over time, reaching an all-time low in 2010 following the Great Recession, when only 42.6% of workers said they were satisfied in their jobs,” due to the findings of The Conference Board Job Satisfaction survey (Adams). As an achiever who strives to experience excitement and adventure in life, I find the lack of job satisfaction for most Americans to be disappointing. Having more than a job—having a career—in life is essential to maintaining happiness and allowing self-growth as an adult. It is necessary that every person does something they wish to accomplish during their life or feel the need to do to satisfy the means of their existence. After months of remaining undecided on my desired career that would necessarily fulfil my personal means, I have directed my studying toward the goal of being an art therapist. This uncommon occupation is described as, “An integrative mental health profession that combines knowledge and understanding of human development and psychological theories and techniques with visual arts and the creative process to provide a unique approach for helping clients improve psychological health, cognitive abilities, and sensory-motor functions” (“About us”).
Creative occupations offered the best hope for advancement. Department stores hired women in large numbers, and if they had skill and intelligence they could work their way up to being designers or buyers. Buyers were entrusted
Hannah Dever’s dreams of opening her own florist shop was inspired by a teacher. “Mrs. Fristch has really inspired me to become a florist.” She explained. Some of them just develop a high passion for things early in life. Katie Creech, who plans to become an art therapist or a tattoo artist said “I’ve always loved art and helping people so I figured why not put the two together. But then again tattoos have become a passion of mine.” In choosing the right career to pursue it should always be one in which they’ll enjoy. They should want to go in and work, not feel that they have to only because they need the

The art market separate parts are: a money economy (or the Market) and the economy of attention, according to Malcolm Bull. These economies of the art world function separately, yet they can overlap each other. Bull clarifies the Market as the purchasing sector of the rich elitists of society; where as the economy of attention, a modern development, is based on the value of the reputation among iconic institutions and galleries. As strong as the social trend of money as power, the credibility of curators, critics and the institutions give weight to the attention they give with shows, reviews, etc. This is how an artist can be successful in the oversaturated market, while not reaching sales in the Market. Bull used [artprice.com] to gain auction sale data to understand the money economy which is reflective of confirmed sale values through the second sale of an artist work, while his data on the economy of art is from [artfacts.net].
“You’ll never make a living as an artist,” a phrase I have heard nonstop from family, friends, and just about everyone growing up. A phrase I constantly told myself while trying to pick my major when I made the big transition in going to college. Coming from a family of doctors, veterinarians, and other various medical careers, it was almost unheard of to pursue a career in the arts. I explored business, advertising, teaching, and many other careers, but in the end, I decided to place happiness over wealthiness and I chose to go through with a career path in Visual Communication Design. Looking more into an art major and questioning if I had made the right decision, I learned that so many of the things people say about artists are just rumours or myths. In today’s society, artists are not starving, they are thriving and we need them to keep the world running. Unlike myself, many people decide to not get a job in the arts because they listen to the false claims of the people that tell them that they will become a starving artist and have no money. In reality, creative jobs are extremely needed in today 's society, and there are actually very many perks in pursuing an art career. Some of the many perks include, being known to make an average amount of money, have little to no decrease in job outlook, being statistically happier than other careers, while making others and the world around you a much more positive place.
Although my career trade is to become a material handler, I also have a love to pursue a career in painting /construction worker. I would like use or consider this to my second career option. My loves for painting begin in school in art class when I had to do painting projects. I would get so excited and when I got older, I would help my parents paint various room around the house. I was so good at it until family members would ask me to paint rooms for them. This was my little job on the side because they would pay me for doing what I love to do. Painting is one of those jobs that I do not mind doing because it relaxes me and gives me a peace of mind.
Art. To me is something undefinable, what I want my art to show you is a piece of myself and a piece of yourself. Something we can all relate to; a memory, a song, a poem, art should make you feel something. Art is a gift, a tool we can use to hide beauty in ordinary places and things. I want to broaden my understanding of design and the world that art is beyond my knowledge and experiences. Because my love for creating burns so bright and deep within me, I am determined to find a career path that will allow me to explore the world of design and art every day. A number of art forms are endless and this seems like a daunting task to find just one path that can express the enjoyment and involvement I want to have with art. Throughout my life I have been endlessly drawing, painting, sculpting and creating--often times I feel almost cursed with such talent to create because the ability seems endless. I have taken a number of art classes exploring my passions as a High School Student and created many different types of works including oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings; etching, embossed, and screen printmaking; charcoal, graphite, and pastel drawings; Sculpting with ceramics and plaster as well as wheel pieces. I find that there is few mediums I have yet to experiment with. I have become accustomed to Acrylic paintings as I have recently started to create paintings and sell them to community members. I participated in a local art fair and it opened my eyes to what art
