Art & Academia

Nowadays, it plays a crucial role as well, since it is widely used in such spheres as design, marketing and many others. We can see art everywhere: from magazine pages and english short essays to car bodies, from shops to garage walls. I have been interested in it since I was a child, and that factor has probably inspired me to choose the career of a designer. When asked about why I have made this choice, I explain that one of my childhood dreams was to create art each day, and that is what I am doing now. Daily, I get knowledge of how to apply art concepts in everyday spheres such as advertising or internet design. One more thing that I adore about my occupation is the opportunity to transfer my own artistic ideas to people, and thus, to contribute to the world’s art heritage. In my opinion, these two reasons perfectly describe my attitude to my future occupation and art in general. The suggested readings have assisted me in filling the gap of my knowledge in what relates to certain aspects of the artistic sphere, and specifically, in forming my own opinion about the connection between art and commerce, the need for the archive of artistic works, and the art school reform.
