Topic > Why be an artist? - 849

Finally, after four years of high school, I have decided which field of study I want to dive into. It was a difficult decision. But now I'm in college and I feel like I made the right choice. We all have to do a job for this society, so I choose to be an artist. Being an artist is not easy. Artists are often productive. So why did I choose to be an artist? I am a highly creative person. Ever since I was a child I have been creative. When I was eight years old, I started drawing my own cartoon characters. As a result I started creating short books about my characters. At this point everyone knew me as a cartoonist. People always came to me and asked me to draw them. When I was ten, I started combining Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Movie Maker to make short animations. When I turned fourteen I started using Adobe Flash to make animations. With the help of my friends I created a series of animations. After two years, I stopped making as many animations as before because I was attracted to music production. To this day I still deal with animation and music production and I enjoy performing them. I developed a more right brain because of my childhood. As a result, I am a surprisingly visual person. I have many ideas and I don't want to limit myself to just one field of art. I enjoy drawing, painting, printmaking, graphic design, motion graphics, animation, sculpture, videography and music production. For this reason, I am pursuing a degree in Art. Another reason why I want to become an artist is because I want a job that suits me. I don't want a boring office job, nor do I want a grueling office job. I can't sit at the same desk every time...... middle of paper......as me in my drawing. After I finish, I notice things in my drawing that raise my awareness in my unconscious mind. This helps me develop a clear understanding of my ego and how I could benefit from it. Since my spirituality is an important part of my life, I find that being an artist is the most rational thing to do. I feel like my art gives me a purpose in the world. I feel this way because I recognize that this is how I will contribute to humanity. Even after I'm gone, my spirit will live on through my art. Ever since I was little, I have been inspired by the world of entertainment. When I enter the world of entertainment, I intend to inspire people in a similar way. Mostly I want to be an artist because I have a variety of artistic skills. I already have these skills, so it makes sense to become an artist. As long as I'm happy, it's the right position for me.
