CAREER IN ARTS :
- Every career in Arts has different path and it will take more or less time to embark up to certain level . We can list number of courses in Arts .However before doing that , each candidate needs to introspect himself . herself about three things -Natural Talent , Competencies and Strength . If we give sincere attention to these three ladders from class XI , then we can zero down to a proper discipline .Following example will prove this .
Talent of drawing things and you enjoy making sketches and
filling in the details. This is a pleasant competency .—Your
talents can be profitably applied in fields such as Architecture, commercial
graphics and cartooning. This is compatible careers. You
decide to become commercial Artist. This is a pleasant role .
-Every Arts student should keep the above thinking in mind .There are hundreds of courses .But every course can not be suitable for you . There may be four to five courses which match with your personality .Then we can combine your passion , profession , vocation and finally a mission to top of it .
- To start the journey , make a flowchart and keep asking one question to your self - where you find yourself after 20 years . As a profession , which is the most near and dear to you . In which area , you would be loved to be recognize and also to be proud .This planning simplifies most the thing .
-Another dimension to the career in Arts is your observation and connect to the society . Arts is very dynamic propositions .Things , pattern , demand changes very fast and hence the expectations as well as profiles take fast curves .
- One major decision , Arts candidate has to make .Whether Arts is my primary career or I am just looking at it only as a graduation and then jumping at some other area .This decision needs to be done at class XII only .
- Crux of the career planning is to observe successful careers , the struggles , the allied factors , the investments and return on investments . Arts students should realize the thin lines between hobby , passion and capability of converting passion into profession .Decide your mentors .Some mentors are available through writings .
- Arts students should remember a simple principle .Applying Operations on Contents results into products .
For example - I am an actor and I see a chair on the stage .I will start thinking the seating styles in that chair during forthcoming play .But , in the same situation , if I am a designer , I start thinking , how I can moderate the design and construct the new chair .
