Sometimes it is had to get into the habit of writing continuously. Hopefully I can keep these blog updates regular from now on.
The first lecture introduced
the course and told us the benefits of Professional Practice, such as learning
how to manage the business aspects of being an artist and future opportunities after
we graduate.
The lecturer that week,
told us about different organisations, which support artists such as
universities, councils and local radio station as well as national and
international galleries. He then went on
to discuss opportunities overseas such as taking up residences and applying to
exhibit work in upcoming events.
The art world is tough
place to be successful in and only as many as 10% of the people in who study
Fine Arts actually make it. Because of
that, some people have to take up part time jobs in order to support themselves
and their art practice. Some artists
like to work in a similar field, where they can uses some of their skills such
as being a gallery curator, teacher, craft person or designer, while others
prefer a to work in a job which is more methodical and requires less thought such
as being a shop clerk or working in a bank.
