So, you want to get involved in the arts industry? You want to make it your profession? Great! I’m sure you’ll love it. But don’t just dive into your new career headfirst; there’s a lot to consider before you get started.

Before we begin, let’s get a few things straight. First and foremost, if you’re going to do this as a business, you need to think of yourself as a business. It’s not about making art for the sake of art; it’s about making money for yourself. You will have to follow some rules, and those rules may seem more restrictive than those in other businesses, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be followed.

In your artistic career, you will be representing yourself as an artist. This means that in addition to your artistic skills, you will need to develop business skills as well. And like any other business, there are more ways to go wrong than right when starting out; however, with the right knowledge and effort, you can succeed at this endeavor.

Now that we have all the formalities out of the way, let’s get down to business!

What I am going to say today is its the same for everyone, it doesn’t matter what you want to do.

In order to make a living as an artist there is a formula.  You need to be able to make more than you spend and then you need to spend your income wisely.

If you are making less than you spend then you will never be able to make art for a living because you will always be broke. This is true even if your work sells for $1 million dollars. It’s possible, but unlikely. You need to actually earn more than your expenses each month in order to have money left over at the end of the month, which is called profit.  

The first thing is that in order to get a job in the arts business or any creative field, you need experience working in that industry. The more experience you have, the better chance you have of getting a job right away.

A lot of people think that they can just go out and get a job without having any experience, but this doesn’t work very well. You will probably be much better off if you start off working at Starbucks or McDonald’s or wherever has jobs available in your area and use that time as an opportunity to learn about what it takes

Art is a business, and to succeed in any business you have to be able to sell yourself. That’s what art is, of course: a product designed to appeal to the senses and emotions of the consumer. If you want to break into the arts industry, learn how to make your product appealing.

The first thing you need is an aesthetic sense. You need to know what you like and why. You also need a way of conveying that information. Whatever medium you choose — writing, painting, music — you will have to master technical details in order to communicate your vision effectively. But that’s all just plumbing; the important thing is vision.

Your insight into human nature must be sharper than that of your competitors if you are going to sell what they are selling better than they do. It doesn’t matter how great your artistic talent is if you don’t understand what people want from art and can’t give it to them. And that means that your understanding of human nature must be deeper than theirs too, because it is human nature that determines what people want from art.

If you’re thinking about joining the arts industry, you may find yourself stuck on a very basic question: how do I break into this business?

That’s a perfectly normal feeling. You won’t be the first person to wonder how to get started in the arts. There are thousands of actors, directors, dancers and other people working in the arts who have gone before you. And all of them were wondering how to get a foot in the door when they were just starting out, too.

The answer for each person is different. But there are some overall guidelines that will help you figure out what that answer is for you.

As a job, being an artist is not easy. You need to be creative, passionate and hardworking. But if you can create something that provides a living for you and your family, then you will have achieved what many people do not succeed in doing.

What are the essential things you need to know if you want to be an artist? The following tips will help you get started on making your career as a professional artist:

The Renaissance period was an exciting time in many ways, and one of the most interesting aspects of it was the artistic revolution that came about. Artists began to focus more on the individual personality and human emotion than they did on religion, which had been their main focus in the past.

The Renaissance is also known as the Age of Discovery, and this shift in focus can be connected to that period. The world was opening up, and artists were beginning to explore new ideas, ideas that had never before been considered.*

It was during this time period that Michelangelo became a famous artist. Other artists of that time were Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and Botticelli. These men were some of the greatest painters of all time, and their works are still well-known today.*

You can see this artistic revolution even more clearly in the works of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and Michelangelo’s David. Both paintings are famous because they capture human emotion so well. The Mona Lisa has often been called the first ever portrait, because it is not just a painting; it is actually a representation of a person.*

Another reason why these pieces are so famous is because they use a technique called sfumato. Sfumato makes
