Do I fit?

With reference to our Swipe Quiz, Artistic people are best described as follows. Check how well you match this description, or take our SWIPE QUIZ to get a more accurate picture.

“You love to be creative, and enjoy the artistic side of life. You like to be surrounded by beauty, and would enjoy creating products or services which use your imagination and creative sensibility. You always have new ideas, and an eye for design. You can express yourself in an original way and generally like to draw attention to this. To create new things gives you great satisfaction and energy. Working intuitively, with a lot of variety, diversity and room for self-realization, that’s your thing.”

Actions you can take now to get ready

Careers in arts very much depend on your personal talent. Remind yourself to work on two things from now on to get the recognition you need to progress: Portfolio and Development.

Your portfolio is all about creating a track record of what you’ve created or performed so far. When applying to a program or discussing your talent with people like counselors, admission officers, they will always want to see some examples of what you’ve created. Start building your portfolio.

Your development, well that goes without saying: an artistic talent needs continual growth. It’s about learning new skills, exploring new techniques, path ways, to challenge yourself and broaden and deepen your talent.

Classes or electives you may consider to take depend on the artistic path you’re on of course, but sign up to these to help you get ready. When your school offers them, great; otherwise look for alternatives. FindMino suggests online or classroom courses. Find them by browsing the respective job or major on FindMino.com
