Garima’s Answer

My first achievement as an artist was finally finding my art niche and determining the type of art I want to create. This was challenging because there are numerous art forms, techniques, and mediums, and initially, I believed I loved them all equally. However, after exploring, I realized that I prefer character design and 2D art over 3D. So, identifying my preferred art forms was a significant milestone for me.

Mollie’s Answer

My first achievement as an artist was when I got my first internship. I created 3D Models for a museum. Getting your first internship is very important and can lead to future careers.

At my internship I created 3D models of objects that were donated by local Native American families. I was able to go into the museum and take reference photos, then go back to my house and create the 3D Models. Once the 3D Models were finished the museum returned the donated objects to the families. The museum's objective was to create an app so that visitors could view the 3D models on their phone in AR (Augmented Reality). This was a really special project that I was proud to be apart of!

Mollie recommends the following next steps:

If you go to college make sure that you apply to internships as early as possible! Start applying a year or even a year and a half before you need your internship. Especially if you want to go into a competitive field like Art!

Edward’s Answer

My first achievement was perfecting an orb… everything about it came out incredible. From the perspective, and shape, to the shading ( gradients and values) as well as the colors and textures. The overall effect was amazing. I even included shadowing to emphasize the angle of lighting. I use this technique constantly to practice graduation values, in order to keep me focused, and practice my skills and techniques.

Debbie’s Answer

That's a great question. Achievement can mean alot of things. The first thing that comes to mind is in high school I painted a picture of some palm trees as a project. To this day is hangs in the entry way of my parents home. During the time frame when I painted it a school counselor saw the painting on display and he asked me to recreate it for him and he paid me to do so. That was a pretty cool feeling as a student!

Rebecca’s Answer

I remember the first time I sold an art piece in a local coffee shop. I have been a self-taught professional for over 10 years. In my opinion, that is the first achievement that I would commemorate. I was commemorated as a third grader for having a great attitude in art class, as well as putting in the effort into my work. So you could say that is the first time I was commemorated. Or, could I consider my parents' encouragement? I think the angle is to look at achievement from more than one perspective, as perspective is very important for an artist - to build ideas and inspiration, to build communities and followers, and to build tools and successes. Not holding onto one achievement higher than others, but to put a special memory like a word or feeling you had with the achievement is how I like to find my achievement(s). Thank you for a good question!

Warren’s Answer

That's kind of a vague question because an achievement can be a lot of different things. For me, I'd consider an artistic achievement anything that you start, then fully apply yourself to it, and continue doing until you just can't do it anymore. One summer while I was in college, someone hired me to do a drawing of their home. That "commission," as it's called, resulted in dozens more commissions over the next three months. I took all of them and put in a full-length work day almost every day that summer. I didn't stop until I just got so tired of doing them that they didn't mean anything to me anymore, and even though it was good and constant money, I was finished with that job. Where any of those are now, I couldn't tell you, but I will always have the experience of that process to remind me of what it takes to fully apply myself to something, not just my art.
