Careers in Art

Whether you love photography, graphic design, painting or any other art-related speciality, career options are limited only by your imagination. Art education propels people towards creative and unexpected destinations – many of which have not even been discovered yet. 

…knowledge is available on every Internet-connected device, what you know matters far less than what you can do with what you know. The capacity to innovate — the ability to solve problems creatively or bring new possibilities to life — and skills like critical thinking, communication and collaboration are far more important than academic knowledge.

Pet Portrait Artist – Ron Burns

dog paintings from photos by Ron BurnsThe appeal of Ron’s pet portraits lies in his intuitive understanding of colour: the selection of warm reds and oranges, contrasted with cools blues and greens, creating an image of hope and emotion in the dogs. Backgrounds have simplified flat, decorative areas, creating emphasis on the dogs alone.

Final words

The examples of Art, Photography, Sculpture, 3D Design, Game Design and Graphic Design jobs illustrated above are just a handful of the exciting career paths that are possible for high school Art students. It is clear that the journey to a creative career is not always clear cut. A Fine Art degree is not always necessary. Related degrees (Graphic Design, Animation, Computer Science, Web Design, Architecture, Marketing, Business) and/or skill-based courses – among many others – may also lead to successful outcomes.

Skill is practiced and refined ultimately by doing. Combine your artistic skill with ambition, generosity, persistence, hard work and business sensibility. If you want a creative career, carve out a little space in the world where you can become an expert: hone your craft via daily practice and make something that people love. Build a website and show off your talent. Let your work spiral out through social media and be discovered by the world. 

And remember: if you are one of those lucky enough to be good at Art and other things…be prepared for people to try and convince you that Art is a swift and certain route to poverty (it’s not: read 9 Reasons to Study Art in High School). If this happens to you, keep in mind that those who are good at Art and other things are in the best position of all to succeed.
