Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how to become an artist, explicates how to be highly successful as an artist, and elucidates how to earn revenue as an artist. While becoming an artist may seem be an eminently cumbersome, expensive, time-consuming, and daunting undertaking, it is viably possible to become an artist. Much to the relief of prospective artists, it is possible to become an artist in a time span of less than half of a decade and the journey to become an artist is not as lengthy as the journey to pursue certain other occupations, such as the occupations of a medical doctor or attorney. The pathway that a prospective artist can follow to become an artist is fraught with challenges that are not a cinch to surmount. It can be arduous to fulfill the duties of an artist. Artistic skills are highly desirable skills to possess. As of January of 2021, only an infinitesimal fraction of one percent of the global population work as artists. in the U.S., for instance, less than 2,670,100 work as artists even though the U.S. population is comprised of over 328,000,000 people as of January of 2021. As of January of 2021, less than .814% of people in the U.S. work as artists. This means that out of 123 random people in the U.S., about only one person at most would be employed as an artist as of January of 2021. As of January of 2021, it was estimated that there were more medical doctors and attorneys as an aggregate in the U.S. than artists in the U.S. even though it takes far more years to fulfill the ample mandatory requirements to become a medical doctor or attorney than it takes to fulfill the mandatory requirements to become an artist. As of January of 2021, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled for a person to become an artist. As of January of 2021, the economy is unequivocally in dire need of more artists, especially since they are able to help companies to produce artwork. Artists can harness their artistry to produce high-quality, aesthetically appealing artwork. Artists can help companies to expand their product offerings, especially if companies opt to mass produce their artwork in their production runs. Producing desirable artwork can help companies to amplify their sales volume, revenue, and profits. As of January of 2021, customers are willing to paying exorbitant premium prices for desirable artwork that is able to assuage their preferences for artwork. People are eminently fond of taking a gander at aesthetically appealing artwork. Taking a gander at aesthetically appealing artwork can help people to divert their attention away from honing on real-world stressors. Freelance artists are not limited to furnishing their service offerings to an infinitesimal clientele. Artists can be “self-employed and work on a contractual basis”. Freelance artists are able to work remotely, customize their own schedule, and furnish their service offerings to clients from around the world. There are a myriad of disparate types of artists. Some of the ample disparate types of artists encompass “painters, sculptors, illustrators, printmakers, calligraphers, and graphic designers”. The tasks of a freelance oil painter can, for instance, involve ascertaining the preferences for oil paintings among clients, purchasing the requisite materials to produce oil paintings, and producing oil paintings for his clients. A freelance oil painter is able to produce high-quality, aesthetically appealing oil paintings that are 2D manifestations of creative artistic visions. There are a multitude of disparate forms of art that works of art can be expressed in. Works of art are not limited to being expressed in the form of paintings. Some of the other forms of art that works of art can also be expressed in encompass illustrations, ceramics, architectural structures, and graphic designs. Paintings are, for instance, the epitome of a form of art and the most prevalently known form of art as of January of 2021. Paintings are produced when an artist paints an image onto a blank canvas with the utilization of paints in order to bring to fruition a work of art. By brushing paints onto a canvas and by smearing paints onto a canvas, an artist is able to produce a painting. Paintings can be comprised of “oil paints, acrylic paints, watercolor paints”, or other types of paints. Painting can also be comprised of “pigments, inks, dyes”, or other types of materials. Paintings can be classified by both their genre and style. Some of the disparate types of painting styles encompass “realism, abstraction, and abstract”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply researched warning about how the digital economy threatens artists' lives and work—the music, writing, and visual art that sustain our souls and societies—from an award-winning essayist and critic There are two stories you hear about earning a living as an artist in the digital age. One comes from Silicon Valley. There's never been a better time to be an artist, it goes. If you've got a laptop, you've got a recording studio. If you've got an iPhone, you've got a movie camera. And if production is cheap, distribution is free: it's called the Internet. Everyone's an artist; just tap your creativity and put your stuff out there. The other comes from artists themselves. Sure, it goes, you can put your stuff out there, but who's going to pay you for it? Everyone is not an artist. Making art takes years of dedication, and that requires a means of support. If things don't change, a lot of art will cease to be sustainable. So which account is true? Since people are still making a living as artists today, how are they managing to do it? William Deresiewicz, a leading critic of the arts and of contemporary culture, set out to answer those questions. Based on interviews with artists of all kinds, The Death of the Artist argues that we are in the midst of an epochal transformation. If artists were artisans in the Renaissance, bohemians in the nineteenth century, and professionals in the twentieth, a new paradigm is emerging in the digital age, one that is changing our fundamental ideas about the nature of art and the role of the artist in society.

Much to the relief of prospective artists, there are no mandatory requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to become an artist. Becoming an artist does not require prospective artists to earn any university degrees nor professional credentials. Becoming an artist is therefore achievable at a young age and often requires someone to possess artistry. If someone lacks artistry then it will undermine their ability to become successful at an artist. Becoming success as an artist is no easy feat and is a cumbersome goal to achieve that is not for the faint of heart, especially since the art market is hyper competitive. Much to the benefit of prospective artist, it is possible to become a profoundly successful artist even if your artwork sales are egregiously low. In the digital era, artist are able to generate revenue in a multiple of disparate ways and their success is not always predicated upon their artwork sales volume. Artists are more than just painters. Some other types of artists encompass illustrators, photographers, printmakers, graphic designers, sculptors, and calligraphers. Artists are able to leverage their artistry, ingenuity, and creativity in order to manifest their artwork into reality. Artists can express their artwork through paintings, illustrations, sculpts, architecture, films, videos games, and graphic designs. Artist can also contribute something new to the genres of art since their creativity has no limits and is not fettered by physical human limitations. Technologies have rendered it possible for even the most idealistic artists to bring their grandiose artwork to fruition. Video games for instance render it possible for artists to be able to allow their creations to come to life as characters inside the world of a fantasy video game. The pathway to becoming an artist does not need to involve taking painting and drawing lessons nor even enrolling in a Bachelor's of Fine Arts degree program. Prospective artists do not necessarily need to compete art workshops, courses, nor lessons to be able to become successful artists. Prospective artists can be self-taught and can meticulously learn how to produce aesthetically appealing artwork as autodidact. Moreover, prospective artists can hone their artistry on their own if they have unalloyed self-discipline and have the unremitting voracious desire to always exceed the expectations of their clients and push their artistry to its limits. Prospective artists do not always need to work for an employer to avail themselves of opportunity to work as an artist. Prospective artists can follow the pathway to becoming an artist even if they are self-employed and are unwilling to work for an employer.It stands to preponderantly reason that by embracing an entrepreneurial mindset and having artistic aptitude, you can launch your own artist career as long as you have unalloyed self-discipline and are willing to unremittingly strategically work hard in order to render your lofty dreams into reality. Having a successful artist career is not predicated upon whether or not you can secure a job as an artist.

As a group, we've created a monthly art market and the annual Last Stop Shop holiday market. On my own, I've also hosted home shopping parties, trunk shows and pop-up shops. In 2007, as one of the winners of Etsy's Upcycling contest, I even traveled cross-country to San Francisco to participate in Bazaar Bizarre at Maker Faire!
Download or read book Real Artists Don t Starve written by Jeff Goins and published by HarperCollins Leadership. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeff Goins dismantles the myth that being creative is a hindrance to success by revealing how an artistic temperament is a competitive advantage in the marketplace.? The myth of the starving artist has dominated our culture, seeping into the minds of creative people and stifling their pursuits. The truth is that the world's most successful artists did not starve. In fact, they capitalized on the power of their creative strength. In Real Artists Don't Starve, bestselling author and creativity expert Jeff Goins debunks the myth of the starving artist by unveiling the ideas that created it and replacing them with 14 rules for artists to thrive, including: Steal from your influences (don't wait for inspiration) Collaborate with others (working alone is a surefire way to starve) Take strategic risks (instead of reckless ones) Make money in order to make more art (it's not selling out) Apprentice under a master (a "lone genius" can never reach full potential) From graphic designers and writers to artists and business professionals, creatives already know that no one is born an artist. Goins' revolutionary rules celebrate the process of becoming an artist, a person who utilizes the imagination in fundamental ways. He reminds creatives that business and art are not mutually exclusive pursuits. Real Artists Don't Starve explores the tension every creative person and organization faces in an effort to blend the inspired life with a practical path to success. Being creative isn't a disadvantage for success, it is a powerful tool to be harnessed.

Download or read book The Art of Asking written by Amanda Palmer and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOREWORD BY BRENE BROWN and POSTSCRIPT FROM BRAIN PICKINGS CREATOR MARIA POPOVA Rock star, crowdfunding pioneer, and TED speaker Amanda Palmer knows all about asking. Performing as a living statue in a wedding dress, she wordlessly asked thousands of passersby for their dollars. When she became a singer, songwriter, and musician, she was not afraid to ask her audience to support her as she surfed the crowd (and slept on their couches while touring). And when she left her record label to strike out on her own, she asked her fans to support her in making an album, leading to the world's most successful music Kickstarter. Even while Amanda is both celebrated and attacked for her fearlessness in asking for help, she finds that there are important things she cannot ask for-as a musician, as a friend, and as a wife. She learns that she isn't alone in this, that so many people are afraid to ask for help, and it paralyzes their lives and relationships. In this groundbreaking book, she explores these barriers in her own life and in the lives of those around her, and discovers the emotional, philosophical, and practical aspects of THE ART OF ASKING. Part manifesto, part revelation, this is the story of an artist struggling with the new rules of exchange in the twenty-first century, both on and off the Internet. THE ART OF ASKING will inspire readers to rethink their own ideas about asking, giving, art, and love.
