Career Revelations

Nov 29, 2006 18:07

I know exactly what I want to be (professionally speaking): An art editor. I want to make a living critiquing art at the artist's request as a sort of cross between a teacher and a critic. Pointing out flaws, giving creative advice, and making judgements are all things I love to do with writing, so why not visual media? They share the same basic principles, after all; a line amounts to the same thing as a word. I know enough to catch errors and enough tact to be nice about it. With the right education this would be ideal. The only problem is, there is no education - this career doesn't exist.

I've talked to one of my teachers who informed me that only those who rule over graphic designers can do anything like that, and I've also poked around some colleges with no luck. According to Maman, artists have the wrong attitude  to ask for any aid of that nature.
