Creative Arts
From the Set Getting Started
Creative artists use painting, drawing, photography, graphic and digital design, sculpting, music, dance, theater, and other artistic mediums to convey emotion, explore issues, and simply provide beauty and entertainment to others. Careers in the creative arts are a great fit for people who are artistically talented and imaginative and think-outside-the-box. Business and interpersonal skills are also important, because creative artists must market their work to customers in order to make a living. Careers in Creative Arts is just one of more than 15 exciting titles in the Getting Started series. In this book, you'll learn about dozens of career options, typical education paths, ways to pay for training (e.g., scholarships, grants), methods of exploring the career while in school (e.g., summer camps, competitions, clubs, books, websites, tours, information interviews), and much more.
