Miscellaneous
There is a common perception that there is no money in art. This is mainly because of the popularity of some anecdotes on how artists only gain prestige and earn money when they die, the most famous of which is the story of Vincent Van Gogh. However, these kinds of stories are not applicable to other professions that involve art. This is because there are a number of professions that involve art, which can be very lucrative to those who practice them. This is especially true for those who receive formal training from art schools because the training they receive from these schools equip them with the tools they need to practice their skills in a commercial or company setting.
There are a number of professions that people who have a passion for art can go to after they go to art school. These professions are categorized into four categories that include art directors, craft artists, fine artists, and multi-media artists and animators.
The first category, which is art directing, involves formulating design concepts and making decisions on what would be presented and how it would be presented to the target audience. Usually, art directors work in advertising agencies and are mostly in charge of how an ad should be presented in print media. On the other hand, being a craft artist involves creating handmade objects that include ceramics, stained glass, and pottery, which are sold in the market.
