Artists create work which conveys feelings, expresses emotion, or reflects the world around them. Painters, sculptors, illustrators, sketch artists, and restorations artists are all professions that fine artists may take. Many colleges and universities offer bachelor's degrees with a major in fine arts, or even master's degree programs where students can go on to cultivate their skills further or pursue careers in academia. Salaries for artists vary greatly, especially for those that are self-employed or work on a freelance basis.
