This article could be useful if you want to use your creativity as source of income. Choosing to start an artist career can seem blurry but this article is going to give response for some of your questions. For example, this article will help you to know what is an artist main tasks, what their days look like and many more.
When you are doing any type of art you are using your creativity and you constantly need to change what you are doing and reinvent your work.
The artist career is very large, some of them do multiple art forms like drawing, sculpting and painting. But other use completely different form like photography, cabinetmaking jewelry work and many more. They also need to sell their works, for example, they can sell in a gallery or have their own website.
Of course, it depends on every artist because in this job you are working alone most of the time so you create at your own rhythm. For example, Stefanie Thiele, a painter, her daily routine is to start by doing all the administrative stuff like email, then she starts to create. She usually finishes painting around 7 p.m. but it happens that she needs to take break because if she ain't capable of getting the result she expects, in that case she goes work at a coffee shop or, she reads art books.
Some artist work in their home, they have place designed to create, this option is nice because you can work whenever you want and you don't need to travel. On the other hand, it can become too much because you can't make the separation between your work and the rest of your life. The second option is to rent a studio a place meant to do art but the rent can be expensive, sometimes you need to share your space with another artist. This option can be very nice because you learn to share and to learn of the other person but sometime your personality don't match at all and it can become a nightmare.
Some people are self-schooled artists and some of them go to an Art program or do an art degree.
A lot of artists can't only live from their arts because it depends on how many artworks an artist produce and how many they can sell and how much people are willing to pay. In one case, an artist who is well-known he is ore likely to sell their product at a much higher price. In the other case someone who doesn't have a lot of visibility is unlikely to sell their artworks
Some artists learn by assisting or do an internship with another artist, this option help you learn the day to day difficulties. Another option is to go live in an artistic residency, this place is meant to share with other artists and to shape your own style.
To start an artistic career you need to invest money and if you don't sell your work you might go on bankruptcy, to avoid this problem a lot of people have another job but it doesn't leave that much time to create.
Robots are not yet able to create on their own so no need to be worried on that part.
This factor is based on how much money you had made on your career, if you had another source of income or if your artistic career was successful.
With all the thing I had learned I'm not sure if I want to follow this artistic road. I learn by doing various kinds of arts in my program that I am not that creative, and based a career on that aspect is not the wiser choice.
