Art (Ferguson's Careers in Focus)

Each volume in this series offers an overview of a career category followed by a selection of jobs, profiled in detail. Each profile discusses the nature of the job, earnings, prospects for employment what kind of training and skills it requires and sources for further information.

Introduction

Although some might associate an art career with years spent trying

to avoid the “starving artist” lifestyle, this is hardly the case.

An artistic inclination can serve as a gateway to any number of

rewarding and exciting careers. Gone are the days when being an

artist meant toiling in front of canvases or sculpture in an effort to

escape creative obscurity and put bread on the table. Today, many

individuals have found ways to turn their creative abilities into successful

careers while still making time for personal creative efforts

in their off time. Today’s artists work in large corporations, schools,

theaters, hospitals, museums, and their own homes. Although some

artists make their living strictly through their creative works, most

individuals in this field combine their creativity with some sort of

technical skill, such as computer design, or specialized training, such

as counseling, in order to pursue their career goals.

The field of art is roughly divided into three categories: commercial

art, fine art, and craft. Commercial art, such as graphic

design and illustration, is used in advertising agencies, publishing

companies, and other businesses to attract attention and convey

messages. Fine art, such as painting, sculpting, and calligraphy, is

created more for personal expression than financial gain, although

it can be financially rewarding. Craft refers to the generation of art

objects that serve a function, such as jewelry making and sewing.

Other careers for artists, such as conservation, art therapy, and

teaching art, would fall under the veil of other fields, but these still

require a true artistic sensibility.

Each article in Careers in Focus: Art discusses a particular art

occupation in detail. The articles appear in Ferguson’s Encyclopedia

of Careers and Vocational Guidance, but have been updated and

revised with the latest information from the U.S. Department of

Labor, professional organizations, and other sources. In addition,

the following new articles have been written specifically for this

book: Gallery Owners and Directors and Visual Artists.

The following paragraphs detail the sections and features that

appear in the book.
