Chapter 4 reading

There were quite a few things that they talked about in chapter four that is helpful. So far this has been my least favorite reading. I’m not entirely sure why, I just did not enjoy it very much. Yes it does give a nice outline about things you can/need to do to better/start your career, but it is so different for everyone and can’t be expected to work out the same. You need to get your work out into to the world so people can see it. You cant just expect to become famous overnight with no work at trying to get people to notice your work. Try to get your work into as many different shows as possible. Find a gallery to represent your work. This is very beneficial but is also very difficult. There are many more artists then there are galleries. You have to make sure to have an excellent packet. If you don’t have things together in your packet they are not going to look at it. Start Locally. You need to build acceptance, and the easiest/best way to do that is to first get acceptance from you home/local towns. It can also be a difficult thing because the art that you make won’t necessarily be appealing to them. Over time you will have to try different things/ approaches to get your art out into the world. Some will work some wont. You have to begin somewhere and just keep trying.
