So far we’ve covered various genres, finding your creative source, differences between an agent and a manager, and creating an image for yourself as an artist. The topic I’ve chosen for this article is a tricky one, and it’s one that should be addressed earlier instead of later.
Can You Do This Alone?

Artists like Macklemore produce a large percentage of their own work, but every so often they’ll release a song where they’ve teamed up with an artist or two to produce a collaboration of sounds.
Collaboration is key to being an artist. Without it, we would not to be encouraged, challenged, or inspired by someone besides our own inner artists. When considering our own work, we artists tend to overthink, overanalyze, and pick apart. We’ll try too hard to come up with new ideas and eventually end up forcing a project for the sake of getting it done. That is why we need other people to encourage us and inspire us, and when we should just take a step back from the task.
Sometimes, you gain the best creative inspiration from someone who is not an artist. Most of the time, you’ll find your inspiration exists in the world around you. Collaboration doesn’t have to be just with other artists or other people. Collaboration means being willing to work with whatever and whoever. Sometimes that means paying attention to our surroundings and finding the art
...tion, we can try new forms of creating art, while questioning and expanding the very nature of collaboration itself.
By working together there is information sharing, improve safety and quality also collaboration gives knowledge to other professionals. (Littlechild and Smith, 2013).what I have learned through working in partnership with other professionals was creating a poster related to what each professional does. Some of the professionals I did not know how exactly they work together in partnership. Example: I was not aware of how a radiology would work with a social work and the outcome of that was that Radiology develop and maintain collaborative relationship with medical colleagues and participates in regular meetings with other professionals activities to meet the needs of a service users therefore they collaborate with Social Workers. By doing a poster and delivering information I learned a lot from the other team members, shared experiences knowledge and skills with other group members. Group work made me realise how it is very important to work in multi-displinary team, the benefit of it and what others can benefit from. During the poster each of the student was from different professional however we all had the question but each had to look at it in each profession perspectives. This gave an opportunity to everyone to go and search for each professional and communicate with the rest of the group the outcome of the presentation. By doing that, we exchanged ideas learned from each other’s skills and used it into practice. I have learned about sharing information with others, learned about communication and

Generally, most of us spend a significant amount of time of our lives in the workplace, and therefore it is important to fully understand the roles and responsibilities of possible dream jobs before choosing and initiating our careers. Then, whereas I plan to pursue my career goals as a Music Agent, it is mandatory to comprehend what constitutes the work of being an agent and what it will be expected from me in this profession. Spite of professions in the music industry arena be considered very exciting, it can also be extremely competitive. Therefore, I aim to define this profession’s duties, identifying essential abilities to work in this field and deal with the present competitiveness, whilst analysing which relevant skills could contribute for my career success. Thus, pointing out my current skills while assessing needs and values of the field, I will contemplate how to ingress in the music industry, developing my career plan to achieve my professional goals. Moreover, as an important part of the essay, I will be analysing pros and cons of this profession, such as possible incentives of working in this sphere, economic issues and how the music environment changes, preparing myself for challenges I may encounter during this journey.
Music has always been one of the most popular ways of entertainment; music has been here as long as we can remember. Now days, we have different genres of music, just as we had in the past, but the difference is, that the artists and genres we have today, they were inspired by one: Rock n’ Roll. In the past, this genre held two of the most popular artists that have ever existed: The Beatles and Elvis Presley, both stronger influences of the new creations.
I propose that all unsigned rising artist should target the business side of the music industry to be successful in the entertainment business because it allows the artist to be taken seriously and make solid connections that can further his/her career. Learning the works of the music industry also enables a new artist to be further successful and profitable. Recent studies show that most new artists without professional representation and a business mindset have a slimmer chance in getting signed to major or independent labels (Lowry, 2011). Overall, the specific change needed is that unsigned artists should be concentrating on their careers as professionals and not amateurs, thus focusing on the ins and outs of the music business and how they can obtain success, generate profit, and endure longevity.
By searching on Google, Pinterest, and other sites, Sophie gathers ideas from other pieces and uses it to stem her creative thoughts. She mentions, “Anymore, it is unusual for someone to just create a unique piece of art without looking to other similar pieces for inspiration.” She studies and learns the different techniques of others and then applies them to her own artwork. Sophie takes feedback and criticism well from others. She likes to take advice from another perspective because it helps her get better and to see things that she couldn’t have seen herself. Her artwork has benefited from her openness to comments. She likes to talk about her projects and she generally feels pretty connected with them as well. Most artists tend to create their work based off of personal references and interests. Just as most artists do, Sophie also has “dry periods” where she can’t seem to think of ideas. At this point, she usually takes a short break and hangs out with her friends and enjoys time to herself. Once she finds motivation, she looks more on Pinterest and other sites to boost her creativity. Her biggest problem is procrastinating and she really needs to focus on meeting deadlines and making time to work on her art. She has gotten better at this and has found more success when she puts in the
If people can give an accurate concept of art, then it is better to say that art gave the artist a definite goal and motivation. Any work of art is needed imagination to be created and completed. I always love to draw, but when I really put the painting as a major, I feel very confused. Because I think I am too lack of imagination, and there is no way to create the ideal work for me. Until I see Andre Masson’s art work “Man in a Tower” in the Guggenheim museum, I know that creative ideas could be inspired by many basic and normal elements of our life. Gradually I have a deeper understanding of art and have the confidence to complete the painting.
The Beatles were a mix of talents that were able to combine their own unique skills as solo musicians
Collaboration is a systematic process, in which we work together, interdependently, to analyze and impact professional practice in order to improve our individual and collective results (Dufour, Dufour, & Eaker, 2002). When teachers within a school collaborate, they begin to not just think about it as my classroom but also about our school. Likewise, the mentality shifts to how do we all get better while I also improve as much as I can. Collaboration results in knowledge flowing as people continuously learn what works best. The identity with an entity larger than oneself expands the self into powerful consequences (Fullan,
Collaboration: Enhance associations with my companions. Be a superior accomplice, comprehend their objectives and needs, and figure out how to cooperate to accomplish every others
Collaboration is an important aspect of teaching, as a teacher, you will be collaborating with others. When it comes to collaboration the goal is for students succeed. In the textbook, it states that teachers must voluntarily want to collaborate with others. If someone was assigned to work with me because I was the “expert” I would treat them as an equal, you could also learn something from the teacher you are working with. If both teachers are not treated as equals the collaboration will not be as successful.
The Russian team of artists called AES+F was originally formed in 1987. They consist of two conceptual architects Tatiana Arzamasova and Lev Evzovich and the multidisciplinary designer Evgeniy Svyatskiy. Their basis is to display the poetic dialogue and reconstruct the depth of art history and other visual canons among these media. They create a visual narrative which exploring the values, vices and conflicts of contemporary culture in a global sphere. They do have a lot of inspiration and all the time create masterpieces. Muse here acts as their main goal. While they have this idea in their mind and while they work as a family they will have inspiration for projects. Another example of collaboration is contemporary American photographer Gregory Crewdson. He creates a frozen, mystical and very melancholic photograph. He became a world famous by his outcomes. Besides, he actually is not working in his own. Crewdson here acts more as a brand. Every little piece of work here make by a separate group of people. He is even not pushing the shutter release. In this case, I am in doubts about the presence of a muse here, because all the process of work looks more like automatic and no feeling that these photographs completely belong to one
I have teamed up with two other people to carry out a collaborative project. The reasons for doing a collaborative project is by working with others you can achieve more ‘the word use is synergy and the implication is that a team of people can achieve more together than each could as individuals.’ (Lacey p) Introduction about myself and the two colleagues I observed. I have written a bit about each person and how they were influenced to go into teaching.
