| Greta giving Room 10 feedback on their art work |
On the first of June, Greta Greenwood (Clays’mum) came to talk to our class about
her part time me job as an artist.
Typical days for Grate are normally working towards
exhibitions, but every year Grata only goes to one. So on days she is free, she
paints abstract pictures or gathers ideas. Greta’s other part time job is a
teacher at Appleby Primary School, and she spends majority of her time teaching.
Grate has always loved art but doesn’t like how she has to
out herself out there if she wants to sell her art, and also doesn’t like how
she is always selling herself to sell her artwork.
People who suit this job are people who love art and are
talented enough to draw something that someone knows what it is. Skills for
this job are just to start drawing with confidence and to not get scared. Greta
learned these skills by creating at our age, she also chose art subjects at
college.
Greta needed a visual arts degree if she wanted to be a full
time artist, but Greta did need an IT degree for this job. School subjects that
are useful are art, photograph, painting and sculpting. Visiting galleries and
viewing artwork, going to exhibitions are all great activities to see what you
like.
It is hard to make a living out of this job but is easy to
use it in different ways, like teaching.
