The subject of this lesson is 'Teen artists'.
The medieval and renaissance painters they needed the patronage of someone rich and famous. This person (a royal or a noble) would pay them to produce commissioned artworks. So making a living from being an artist was not easy.
However, now in the 21st century, things are different. The cost of materials is much more affordable and it probably won’t be a king or queen who buys your work! In fact, if you have social media, you can easily show people your work.
In this next section we look at a teenage artist and look at the phenomena of the social media and the promotion of art.
