Everyone has an innate artist inside themselves. Even the most unimaginative individuals are capable of creating a piece of art worthy to be placed beside the works of Picasso and Van Gogh. That's probably too presumptuous, but there's nothing really wrong with wanting to be one of the best.

In this day and age where everything seems to be high-tech and digital, it's easy to create works of art, but not real art. By real art we mean those created by hands and imagination and painted with heart and soul. This doesn't mean though that digital art isn't art at all. We are referring here to paintings, sculptures, and those art works that we see in museums for illustration.

Museum artworks aside, modern art has provided lots of options to creative individuals these days. Modern graphics art, for instance, has provided artists an easy way to produce fine arts with digital media, either to create an art to sell a product or convey an emotion or feeling.

In terms of career path, the graphics industry is a flourishing field. With more and more businesses and individuals seeking to produce ads and promotional materials today, conveying art as a graphics artist is a profitable career. In due time, you can work the ladder up as a senior designer and eventually an art director. With skill and experience, being on top of the game would be easy for you. Achieving the honor of being the Picasso of graphics design would just be an added credit.

There are basically limitless possibilities in graphics design. You can infuse any type of emotion in your materials: humor, pain, sorrow, glee, admiration, and others. And with sufficient skill and experience, you can create elaborate scenes and characters from entirely computer generated shapes. Many movies today have used this technique. It wouldn't be a surprise if future stars are someone we will never see in the flesh.

There would surely be new ways to show art in the coming years. The imaginations the limit, so there's every possibility of becoming your generation's best. Why not poke the artist in you today, and explore your artistic ability.
