What the artist does seems to be clear and so: he draws, and if you take a broader approach, he creates artistic images. Moreover, these images can be expressed in a variety of incarnations - in planar images (in paintings or graphics), in costumes, in sculptures, in pieces of furniture and in many other forms.
So the profession of an artist is very multifaceted, and there are many specializations in it.
Artist specializations
An illustrator creates illustrations for books. The work process looks something like this: the artist studies the book, discusses it with the production editor, who points out the characters or episodes that need to be depicted. After that, he creates a sketch, which is approved or corrected by the editor.
Graphic designer
The activity of a graphic designer has many areas, for example, painting the interiors of premises and facades of houses, creating advertising posters, drawing clothes, developing sketches for landscaping and landscaping of territories and the external appearance of other objects. environment.
A costume designer is a specialist who is part of creative team theatrical performance or film and is responsible for appearance characters. Of course, such an employee should not only be able to draw sketches to order, he should think through all the details of the characters' clothes to the smallest detail. For example, if a movie is being made on historical theme- he is obliged to study all the features of the attire of that era, otherwise the viewer, seeing inconsistencies or absurdities, will be dissatisfied.
fashion artist
The fashion designer is engaged in the development of new models of clothes, shoes, hats, accessories. The task of a specialist is to create a sketch of a new product, taking into account fashion trends, the type and quality of materials, and transfer it to a fashion designer to bring the idea to life.
Animation artist (artist-animator)
An animator or animator is a specialist who today works not only in the field of animated films, but also in “ordinary” cinema, on television, when creating video games and other related industries. At the same time, the profession of an animator is not homogeneous: there are production designers, phasers, character designers, draftsmen, etc.
Theater artist (decorator)
A theater artist or stage designer creates scenery, costumes, various furnishings, and in fact the entire environment surrounding the characters of the performance. To do this, it’s not enough just to be able to draw sketches - you need to know history, culture and much more, so that the action looks exactly organic and unified.
Graphic artist
A graphic artist, like an illustrator, creates illustrations for books in the form of engravings and lithographs, rather than ordinary drawings.
Restoration artist
The artist-restorer is engaged in the restoration and preservation and conservation of objects of fine and decorative art, as well as architecture. Moreover, the ability to preserve an object of antiquity in a normal state is valued even higher than the ability to restore it, because in the latter case, the object partially becomes a “remake”.
Lighting designer (lighter)
A lighting designer or light operator is engaged in programming and controlling the lighting console during various events, performances, performances, filming, television, etc. Such a specialist should know the technical part and be able to creatively approach the task of lighting the stage.
Places of work
The expression "freelance artist" appeared not by chance, and even today it has not lost its relevance: a significant part of the representatives of this profession prefer to work for themselves. At the same time, many artists still prefer to work in companies, creating their masterpieces in their free time.
The position of an artist (more often a designer) exists in companies of various profiles:
- Editorials of magazines.
- Printing companies.
- Theaters and film studios.
- Design and advertising agencies.
- Restoration workshops.
- And many others.
Artist Responsibilities
Of course, the job responsibilities of an artist significantly depend on the type of organization, we will give some of them as an example:
- creation of sketches, sketches, graphic prototypes of future products;
- painting of various surfaces (fabrics, concrete, ceramics, paper, etc.);
- computer design and creation of 3D objects;
- preparation of materials for printing;
- control of production of products according to sketches.
The functions of the artist may include participation in conferences, exhibitions, work with clients and much more.
Requirements for an artist
The requirements for an artist are very diverse and again depend on the specifics of the activity, but, in general, they are as follows:
- secondary specialized or higher education;
- professional experience;
- portfolio of completed works;
- knowledge of computer and special graphic programs.
Sometimes it takes knowledge foreign language, history or culture of a certain time or people.
Artist resume sample
How to become an artist
You can become an artist in different ways, depending on the type of activity you choose and your goals. You can not study anywhere at all and realize your talent on your own, but this is a difficult and thorny path. You can graduate from a specialized university or other educational institution, where, in the process of studying, hone the skills of artists, and find a permanent job in your specialty. At the same time, you should never forget about creativity itself - you need to constantly replenish your portfolio.
Artist salary
Calculating how much an artist earns on average across the country is problematic, since incomes for different specializations differ and sometimes very significantly. Say, the average income of an illustrator is about 40,000 rubles. But the salary of a graphic designer is only a little more than 20,000 rubles.
It is even more difficult to determine the income of "free artists": some of them earn millions, others live solely for the sake of art and do not think about the financial side of their activities at all.
