Helen Zafar: This is a serious answer:For most artists, to make a living, they will have to go out and get a regular job, like everyone else.For every art major who actually gets a paying job after graduation, there are a dozen who are flipping burgers, waiting tables, selling long distance services and working at the local assembly plant, textile mill, cannery, etc.Even those that get an art-related job are actually TEACHING art classes (and being a P.E. coach for two periods a day), running a copy machine, loadi! ng and cleaning a printing press, or any number of other positions that have little to do with anything actually creative.As far as what YOU can do to avoid these, less attractive, scenarios is to prepare yourself to be the BEST of the best in your class. You can't afford to "skate by" and expect an employer to choose you, when he can pick up the number one graduate out of a class of fifty. (Numbers two through ten get to run that copy machine) (numbers eleven through fifty will be selling you potato chips and soda at the local mini mart)Take all the classes that might be REMOTELY related to your expected career. If you think you want to move in the direction as a graphic artist, take psychology and typography classes, because your FIRST assignments may be as a copywriter or research assistant before they let you sit in front of a design station. If you think you might want to be an illustrator, take art history and papermaking classes, because you may end up stacking bo! oks in a library, or volunteering at a museum craft booth befo! re you will be allowed to pick up pencil or brush.Be prepared and be the most knowledgable and talented student in the pond. Because, even the "big fish" in your college may be swallowed up by the BIG fish in the art world....Show more
Marcellus Exler: I'd say go for it. You got to do what makes you happy. It's a hard field to stay in compentition though. I'd go and study graphic arts and visual communications. It also doesn't hurt to study some web site design as well. There is good money in web design.
Logan Bero: First off visual arts is a very very broad subject. Now days the industry relies on people with visual arts skills and you can branch off from that topic. Visual arts isn't just painting and all that there are so much more you can do. Visual arts is the base of everything art related such as design textiles etc. I think the priority is to research what you want to do. When you get to university you can start with a foundation course where you try ou! t different branches of visual arts, this provides you a basic understanding and experience in each different branch. Then whichever you know interest you the most you can choose that as your major subject and develop on that.Theres alot you can do with visual arts skills, remember universities look for a portfolio when you apply for art universities and they want to see your base of fine arts. Having the skills and fine arts background is the most important when your submitting our portfolio, most of the careers listed below need a basis of fine arts. Jobs Careers?Yes there are tons which you can do to live from your skills =]AnimationGraphic DesignInterior DesignFurniture DesignJewelry MakingSculptureFashion DesignPhotography Glass Making Fine Arts artist (independent artist)Advertising / 3D Graphics and lots more.Research more on these careers and what each require and sort of skills you need cause each of them are different. It would be a good if you have a general idea! to what you want to do =] then you can develop your skill during the y! ears of high school. Your just like me =] im 16 as well and i have researched all about the different jobs branching off from visual arts. I tell you its really useful and you will benefit alot if you do alot of research. THese jobs help us artists live from our art, the plain old i won't be able to make money from being an artist is no more! =] the word artist is really vague in a way, people interpret what and artists is differently but we don't have to worry about that issue now.We are vital people who keep the industry going with our creativity =]...Show more
