In Demand Careers - What's art got to do with it?

Great News!
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that art careers will grow as fast as average in line with other occupations. 

According to Artbistro,
listed below are the most
In-Demand Art Careers

  • Graphic Design
  • Multimedia Artist
  • Photographer
  • Fine Artist

You're sure to succeed if you pursue a technical art field.   I am also a huge advocate of school art teachers or art specialists as they are often called.  Being a former art teacher myself, I know first-hand what it's like teaching elementary school art lesson plans to children.  I can't describe the amazing feeling you get when you see a child's face light up as they express themselves through their artwork. A great way to get students excited about creating unique artwork is through Square 1 Art.  This easy to run school fundraiser gives them a reason to be creative and support the arts at their school.


How does one become creative?
That's a great question! Creativity isn't something that is learned.  Everyone has the ability to be creative.  Creativity and personal expression must be fostered in children for it to flourish in adult-hood. Some adults think to themselves, "I cant even draw a stick figure" therefore I am not creative. 

Did you know?
There are six art developmental stages that children experience before the age of 16.

When you were young did you ever have a chance to watch the clouds in the sky?  Weren't they the most magnificent masterpieces that you have ever seen!  Those white fluffy poofs of air would turn in to all sorts of grand characters!  As the clouds would move slowly so would your imagination and you would find many more animals in clouds!


You are born creative
It's learning how to use that creativity in adult-hood that becomes the struggle.  The great Picasso once said: "Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

What better way to remain an artist than to become one professionally!  Explore art careers in demand or...better yet...incorporate creativity into your current career!
