Very Happy Hi i was wondering if enyone could give me advise on how to start in the art buisiness and just can give me eny advise , because i've always loved art and i find it a great releif of when i'm angrey , depressed or ashamed but my art is quit unsusial and when people c it there not always sure what it is , i wanted to go into advertising but i realised that my idea's would be too strong and controversal. I have a great desire to exspess my views on death , the vanity of the rich and every day life problems , but the only problem is i carn't always exspress them through painting as i am not very highly skilled , although i have just finished a project where it was an origional idea that nobady would of thought of in my class and i was pleased with that because i felt my indivisuality come out . i created a video piece that i filmed in my house that turned into an animation , the main story is about how people complain about there small problems and over exadgerate them like saying "oh i feel my life is over!" but i wanted to show a contrast with the proverty and great suffering of the world . Shocked oh no! i've typed alot! ha ha Well enyway i was woundering if there's eny jobs that i could go into n is there a space for video art? the only problem is i carn't afford to go to university . well il be happy for eny responce good or bad , jus tell me Very Happy ok bye bye

university is where you would learn more, improve, be challenged, work alongside like minded people (fellow students) and bounce ideas around, make contacts, learn about options and obtain the qualifications that employers want

graduates don't find it easy to get jobs in the fields they want so without a degree your chances are very low

- so university and student loans is the best way I'm afraid.

If you don't have the right qualifications you can do an Access course, which if you pass will count as equivalent and get you onto a degree course.

Youd be beating extreme odds making a living in avant garde art.

Getting a job as an artist is extremely difficult I think.. especially if is fine arts.

I got a BA degree in illustration... couldn't find a job.

So i studied at home and did more work on commercial illustration.. still no.

So i studied entertainment art, doing character concepts... still no.

So i kinda gave up and got into real estates and international trading.. it was ok.

Then, i went back into arts again.. and studied technical 3D modeling for video games... finally after thousands of resume sending, i got ONE offer.. and it doesn't pay much. 40K.

With technical skills in art, illustration degree, it is very hard to get into it. And with fine arts, it seems near impossible.
