Sample Art Resume

In the modern age artists need to possess an element of business sense in addition to their natural ability. What is also needed is formal training and experience to fine tune their skills. Finally, an artist should not only be good, but also seen to be good. And the best way to show his skill is to write an effective resume. The skill of the artist has to be shown by mentioning the major achievements, technical qualifications and the business/professional touch. Achievements should be accorded priority as these give a live picture of the candidate's talent.
