The key elements of my anecdote is to create interest, inspiration with the reader, and help enable possibilities via perseverance while they passionately pursue art. My interviewee comes from a long line of hard working men and women. Some of which were successful business owners, nurses and teachers. But, my interviewee’s parents were hard working blue-collar workers. So, it was their desire to see their child pursue a career that would be purposeful and rewarding. Art becoming a vehicle to create financial stability and it provided liberation from despair.
As we travel the adventurous road of life, we must reach deep down inside and find and isolate our true-life changing passions. If we are focused and determined our gifts can be the ticket to a successful career. When we accept our gift and work diligently at mastering them, we create opportunities for success. My internees fondest memory from his dad was a statement said to him, “Nothing Beats a failure than a try.”
The audio interview that was configured together, was for the purpose of displaying the drive and significance of art. It shows that art can be a powerful tool in the hands of anyone, as long as they have the drive and capability. This is helpful because it helps individuals to understand the endless possibilities that can be achieved in the field of art.
