Passion for art?

[Hakaba Kitarou]

Kirihito is so right. I guess you could say that your passion is for the happiness and well being of the ones you love. It would of course be a blessing if you could have passion for your life career and still be able to support and help the people you care about. That is actually the one thing I always run into in my mind that makes me think twice about pursuing an art career. sweatdrop but I love talking about art and I love explaining the technical aspects of art, so I think I would make a great professor. The head of my department here at FSC makes descent money though, so if I could reach the level of a professor I should be fine. Until then, I was just going to keep a regular job and work in my own time. But Im a freshman in college, I have plenty of time to figure out what I really want to do. Misszipper and I are planning on going to grad school at NYU after college, so we can get our masters, so that should help a little.
Thanks for the input Kirihito! Thats the kind of response I was waiting for.

Sorry. I can't seem to log in to my main account so I'm on my mule. eek Seems like ages since I've replied in this forum topic.

(laugh) I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong, to be honest. sweatdrop I guess I simply go with the flow of what's most important to me first.

Then again, art isn't a bad career for some people who can get good business. In fact, some become successful and earn a good living out of it. Teaching art can be very inspiring too, as well as a stable job. I really like seeing how you see the goodness of being a professor, to teach others as well as to benefit yourself. 3nodding Good luck, all the best! 3nodding

Sorry, at the moment I'm not accepting friends requests. @_@; I'm not accepting PMs too, come to think of it, he he he he. sweatdrop

My parents have always encouraged me to become an artist......I have been drawing ever since I felt a pencil in my hand lol but I didn't get real good at it till 2 years ago.....and I draw nothing but anime......I used to draw real life....but I got too bored with that....I want to become an artist but my mom and dad say it is not a career and definitely not a job I can support a family with... crying crying but I really don't care anymore I am going to go to college and become one....who knows??? I might make a deal with Tokyopop....if this RSoM contest pulls through for me...If you see a book by a girl whose first name is Jillian.....that would be me....lol

I wish I can shift to an arts course... I'm engineering atm and I'm a bit discouraged about it already (not because of failing grades because I haven't failed yet.)

Very true. biggrin

[BrahmZipperlin]

biggrin I have faith in myself as an artist, but i don't see myself really being successful with my own work. I just feel that it would be such a great learning experience to teach others who may possibly grow to be one of the greats. I want to continue learning and sharpening up my style, and the head of my department here at school says that he still learns alot from his students and the teaching process. biggrin

Unless you manage to get to the top of the field art is not a great career. They call us 'starving artists' for a reason. I've been going at it for near 30 years and haven't gotten my foot in the door yet, it's a frustrating field. Fortunately I love to draw and will continue whether I make money at it or not.

biggrin most people will have trouble and difficulty if they rely souly on their ability as an artist for hire or just trying to sell their own work. But there are so many jobs out there for artists besides commission work. if you havn't been sucessfull thus far, by all means keep at it, but you sould have another source of income(wich surely you do.) biggrin

You liked my quote??? Well I'm glad....lol....it is very true and as artists we are very creative...*mumbling*and a little moody....but anyways sice we're creative we let people into that place inside our souls that we rarely allow anyone to see....that's why art is so precious to us......very few people know how many artists there truly are in the world mainly because they keep their art-work to themselves because it's their soul laid out on paper/canvas...anyways.....To all the artists out there....don't give up....my dad is alomost 60 and he's still painting and sketching.....he's where I get my artistic abilities from...^_^ Love Ya Daddy!!! lol....so anyways....never give up...

very few people know how many artists there truly are in the world mainly because they keep their art-work to themselves because it's their soul laid out on paper/canvas...quote]

biggrin Art can also be music and dance and things besides the type we practice. Many people also do these things secretly because certain people may not approve or agree with what they love to do. But you must stay true to yourself and don't let others dictate what you truly love. It's your heart, you allone should follow it. biggrin
