If you decide to pursue a life in the fine arts, you'll have a number of careers to choose from. Here is just a sampling of some of the options out there (and what you'll need to get started):

Painter:
Work in oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink, collage or a combination. You might travel to far away places to paint, or paint from your own imagination. You'll need studio space, supplies and a lot of determination.

Sculptor:
Imagine in three dimensions, and create works in stone, wood, bronze, glass, steel, plastic, fiber, found objects--even light! You may make one-of-a-kind artworks or produce molds that allow multiple reproductions. You may also work with architects or developers to create public sculptures.

Printmaker:
You'll make multiple originals of your artwork using a plate onto which your image is carved, scratched or built, and a press that transfers the image to a paper surface. You'll need patience and precision. However, your prints can be used in a number of places, like textiles or wallpaper.
