Artist assistant reviews
I get to do what I love
It’s hard work, it feels like you will not make it and you’re jumping from job to job sometimes every now and then but the goal is to not give up, everyone is more than capable of achieving the things they put their minds too. :)
Painting Use of all mediums Creativity Shows
I don't have anything to say about NOT like ART IS MY PASSION PASSION IS MY ART
1) Makes my own art decor(I don't just paint I do other art as well) 2) It releases stress 3) Make my own gifts without having to go out buy one. 4)I am not hobbyist 5) tried to do digital art depends on program
1) High school degree is not always requested, mainly AS degree or BS degree is on high demand so those who graduated should head to college afterwards. 2) since college degrees are in higher demand, there are no jobs for me. So I am left to sell my art on t-shirts or textiles. 3)Masters had it easy these days artist have fucked up life if they don't belong to community or special grouping they are considered frauds.
