Being a performing and visual artist in the arts and design strand is a unique and fulfilling experience. It requires passion, dedication, and a commitment to never stop learning and growing in one's craft. As someone who has dedicated my life to this form of art, I can attest to the pitfalls and rewards of this challenging, yet rewarding career.

For starters, the life of a performing and visual artist is not for the faint of heart. It requires a great deal of hard work, talent, and persistence to succeed. This is especially true in today's world where competition is fierce, and the bar for excellence is always rising. However, what makes this career path so rewarding is the opportunity to express oneself creatively, share one's passion with the world, and touch other people's lives through art.

One of the most challenging aspects of being an artist in this field is the constant need to create and perform at the highest level possible. This requires a great deal of discipline and focus. With each new work, I strive to push my limits, explore and experiment with new techniques, and learn from my mistakes. One of the hallmarks of successful artists is their ability to take risks and adapt to changing circumstances, effectively making each new piece an exercise in growth and self-improvement.

As a visual artist, the process of creating is often solitary, but also highly rewarding. Starting from a blank canvas, I am given the freedom to express my thoughts, emotions, and experiences through colors, textures, and form. Each new piece tells a story, captures a moment, or evokes a feeling that resonates with the viewer. The gratification that comes from seeing others connect with my work is something that is difficult to put into words.

As a performing artist, things look a bit different. Performances often require collaboration with others in order to create something truly magnificent. Consistent rehearsals and collaborations allow for creating pieces that communicate a message that captivates the audience. The performance experience brings to life the story I intend to tell, bringing emotions and ideas into a tangible and accessible realm. That feeling of connection is amplified as I see how my performance connects with my audience.

From an economic standpoint, let's be honest – life as an artist can be challenging – with limited resources, promotion, and support available. That's just another reason why dedication and passion are key ingredients for success. Building a successful career requires a mixture of self-promotion, marketing research, and the help of an art dealer or gallery management team. The going can be slow, and the path seems uncertain, but it is always rewarding, and it is not uncommon for successful artists to receive international acclaim.

In conclusion, becoming a performing and visual artist in the arts and design strand is a unique, challenging, and deeply rewarding experience. It requires a great deal of discipline, focus, passion, and self-belief. As an artist, you have the power to touch others' lives and express your creativity in the most incredible ways. If you have the talent, the ambition, and the perseverance required, the rewards of a career in the arts and design strand are beyond measure.
