Visual Arts

Visual artists produce anything that is pleasing to the eye, including drawings, paintings, sculpture, architecture, photography, prints and film. A talent and flair for business is essential, as you will most likely be self-employed.

The Crafts Industry

The Craft Industry often goes hand-in-hand with the tourism industry. Many craft businesses are small and based in rural areas. The job therefore demands a broad range of skills from employees such as sales, marketing and management.

Design

Design is a plan or a blueprint for a visual work or product, but can also include a full concept of how something will function and what purpose it will serve. Career areas include fashion, automobile manufacturing or video games to name but a few.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design has become one of the leading industries recently thanks to the explosion of social media and the need to deliver content and advertising in a visually pleasing way.

Making a Living in Art

Selling art to make a living can prove a difficult task. Many artists combine their art creation with another career or part-time job.
