What Can You Do With a Arts Degree?

Professional artist -  Kicking off with perhaps the most obvious of art careers, there is no reason why you cannot pursue a career as a professional artist if you have talent and dedication. 

Illustrator -  Illustrators use their creative skills to communicate stories, messages, or ideas to an intended audience. They usually work on a freelance basis for multiple clients and are likely to specialize in a specific medium, such as drawing, photography, or digital illustration.

Photographer - Photographers use a range of equipment to capture images in the style and brief set by a client or employer. There is a wide range of purposes and specializations in photography – from weddings to advertising, photojournalism, and more. 

Animator -  An animator produces multiple images called frames, which when sequenced together create an illusion of movement known as animation. Animators might work in the visual effects team on a film or in advertising, amongst other fields. 

Graphic designer -  A graphic designer is responsible for creating design solutions that have a high visual impact. The role involves working to a brief agreed upon with the client, creative director or account manager. 

Curator -  Curators cover a huge range of mediums, from contemporary audio-visual artworks to ancient sculptures. The field is often very competitive, so you might consider a postgraduate qualification in a subject such as museum studies. 

Printmaker -  Printmakers create art using a printing press, typically on paper, and again usually work to set briefs. You might find that printmaking emerges as your preferred medium following a degree in fine arts, especially if you specialize in design or illustration.

Art teacher/university l ecturer -  If you wish to use your passion for art to motivate and inspire young people and encourage the development of budding talents, a career as an art teacher could be highly rewarding.
