I was watching the short on Garry Winogrand and I absolutely love - not only everything about the subject but also the cinematography of the video as well. I think this talk is really interesting in how Waters has developed and established herself both as a successful career artist and as as an artist in academia. I think that a lot of times art frequently gets the rep of not being financially stable, and there is the stereotype of that, “starving artist,” however it’s really interesting to see how our Lunchtime Lecture Guests come in, passionate about their art, and always talk about how they make a living. I find it quite interesting - as there are various ways. But yes, in most cases, all the artists have a “day job.” Which makes sense. I think that in finding what you love to do, it is necessary to find a career that interests you, that supports you, and that you can grow and develop as a person. I think this is somewhat similar to what I ultimately want to do in my professional career. As of now, my main hobby is dancing - I dance close to fourteen or more hours a week, and when I am older I would love to be a semi-professional dancer. However, arguably dancers get paid less than other artists. In addition to my dance I want to study urban planning and hopefully work part time in that field. In this way I can work part time in an interesting, financially stable job, and also enjoy dancing part time. I believe that for those who revel in the mastery of the arts, it’s important to bring that with you as you age - continue your studies and passion for art.
