Art is everywhere, starting from the advertising and packaging of products that we use in our daily life. From photographs and videos, and various art platforms where we are free to express our opinions through songs and other works. There are so many ways to express how beautiful the world is through art.
In our country, artists are indeed under-appreciated by a lot of people, and they throw shade on you when they know that you are pursuing an art career. They will ridicule your Chosen path just because it's not a high paying job compared to doctors, engineering ,architects and many more.
For a more elaborate picture, there is a streamer on Facebook who is looking for an editor for his video highlights. He said that it includes trimming and putting effects and all that effort will be paid by only two hundred pesos. The amount of the artist's hard work equates to two hundred pesos.
Individuals who learn about this ridiculous offer quickly disagree with the streamers offer, and share their sentiments about it, and consider the offer as an insult to the artist's hard earned work.
These kinds of people are the ones who are bruising the egos of the amateur artist out there, because they made them feel as though their art is fitted to cheap prices and must not expect for more.
That kind of mentality is just so wrong because before an artist can create a masterpiece he/she went through a lot of hardships and struggle in order to have a work that can be appreciated by everyone.
Before Degrading someone’s work and gaslighting them into thinking that their work is just a piece of cake, think about the materials they use, the effort and the talent they pour into that art to become a beautiful creation.
Anyone can become a doctor, lawyer or an engineer but it takes talent and pouring passion to become an artist, so before throwing shades to those who choose passion over practicality, re-evaluate yourself first if money can truly bring happiness.
