What the web has done for art

The hardest thing for an aspiring artist, be it paintings or images, music, or other mediums, getting into the field is excruciatingly difficult. You don't know who to talk to, and you don't know how to break into the field. Even if i were to create a 'work of art', I wouldn't know the first thing of getting my name out there in the professional world; it's just not that kind of a system. The internet and places like [Deviant Art] have created an outlet for people who dabble in various art forms to show their work to others. people like Freddie W, who deals with video editing, would never be known if it wasn't for the internet.

There is amazing talent out there that is only realized through the internet. People in the boondocks who can create ballads from thin air are never discovered because they're not mainstream; they're not in the beaten path. In point of fact, the web has done wonders for anyone looking to show off what they can do. It's free (which for many of us is crucial) to post content on Deviant Art or Youtube, and because it's unlimited, all we have to do is what we love to do: create.



A hobby such as posting images to photobucket or deviant art can, if that person is skilled enough, turn into a job of their dreams, where they're paid to do something they would do for free. Now who would turn down an opportunity like that? Aspiring artists of any field should be doing this. Whether you think you're a fantastic dancer, singer, whatever; get out there and show the world via these websites what you can do. What do you have to lose? So maybe a bunch of [Trolls] will post flammatory garbage on the comment section, but what people fail to realize is this: you aren't aiming to please the whole world with what you can do. It only takes one person who finds value in what you're capable of to start you off.
