T.J.’s Answer

Hello R!

A year ago online, I discovered a giant image with a list of art careers. Well, I found the original article!
Check out the Student Art Guide's career ideas: https://www.studentartguide.com/articles/art-careers-list

The giant image I'm referring to lists many job titles in these art fields:

- Arranging / Display Art
- Digital / Multi-Media Art
- Fashion / Textiles
- Fine Art
- Graphic Design
- Organization & People Management
- Photography
- Spatial Design
- Writing
- 3D Product Design
- and more!

Plus, the article contains real people's stories where people made unique careers in art by themselves (or with a team!)

Enjoy learning more about art careers :)

EDIT (5/6/23)

Hello again R!

I looked backed at this answer and noticed you asked not only about art sector careers, but animation too!
If you want to learn more about jobs in animation, check out these:
- Character animation artist
- Concept artist
- Character design artist
- Environmental artist
- Prop artist
- Storyboard artist
- Animator (there's a specific role where you are actually in charge of making the images move correctly)
- Lighting artist
- Rigging artist
- Technical Sound Designer
- Technical artist
- VFX (Visual Effects) artist

If you're interested in art careers related to animation that Aren't animation, here are more ideas!

- Toy Design
- Merchandise Design (could include book illustration or character illustration)
- Scene Design
- Paleo Design (think drawing dinosaurs & prehistoric creatures).

I hope this helps you too! :)
