A must read for high school students pursuing an art career
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
In this guide, the author gives an overview of what it is like to earn a living as a conservator, jewelry designer, art therapist, sculptor, or graphic designer. Each career is highlighted in a separate chapter, using real ancedotes and comments from professionals who have already achieved success. Some of the topics discussed include the training and/or formal schooling needed, job duties, work environments, and possible salary ranges. One topic I found especially helpful was the importance of having a portfolio. Not only do students need to present a portfolio of their art work when applying to an art school or college program, they will need a portfolio when interviewing, especially in the fields of graphic design and conservation. I also like the way the author identified the key skills and attributes each career requires for success.
