Hello, Creativity is a relative term, what sounds creative to someone may sound impractical to the other. But it all comes down to giving out of box solutions. There is no one way to improve to creativity but there are many ways which prove effective for different people. But in general reading tops the list, you can surf the publications done on that subject and read different authors perspective on the same. Once you get a thought no matter how trivial journal it down. You can develop it further. Participate in different completions or try to get a hands on experience on the same. There is no way to quantitatively measure your growth but you will be happy to see where that creativity has gotten you.

Hope this helps.

Greetings,

If you do not wish to join colleges through any of the 3 exams that you cleared and are confused about career options then I will include some general career options for students interested in creative arts and such. (bear in mind that in this field of arts and creativity you will have to be a flexible person - meaning - you will have to work on things you do not enjoy and find ways to use your drawing or creative abilities to get work done)

1) Textile Designing - Doing this course can get you entry into the textile industry (fabric making, designing, marketing, distributing, etc.)

some great colleges other than NID and NIFT for this course

• Visva Bharati Santiniketan
• Nikalas Mahila Mahavidyalaya, Nagpur
• School of Fashion Technology, Pune
• Amity School of Fashion Technology, Noida
• International School of Design, Pune

2) Animation and Digital art and Graphic designing - this degree will open up opportunities in a wide variety of industries apart from animated movies and ads - like animated educational, medical, and interactive content. You can also work free lance on your own with this skill. work on contract basis for YouTube content creators or private persons who need something digitally drawn or animated like posters, videos, etc. Great future for this field.

some colleges

• Arena Multimedia (Delhi, Bengaluru, Noida, Mumbai)
• Global School of Animation (New Delhi, Chennai)
• Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematic (MAAC), Mumbai
• Tekno Point Multimedia (Bengaluru)

3) Web designing - you can use your artfulness and creativity to design how websites look and how they function - this is also an up and coming field with decent amount of competition as it is all online work. You will have to learn basic programming to distinguish yourself in this field - PHP, JavaScript and CSS, etc.

some colleges:

• Pacific Academy of Higher Education and Research
• Vogue Institute of Fashion Technology, Bangalore
• Zee Institute of Creative Arts (ZICA), Ranchi, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai
• P.A. Inamdar Visual Effect, Design & Art, Pune

4) Event Management - This is a very demanding field of study for creative students and often pays the most out of them all if you manage to become a successful event manager for an established firm or your own business. you will have to find your specialty - and use all your creative powers as well as management of teams and management of finances. a versatile field through and through.

You will have to do a diploma if you want to course this field after 12th and after that you can do an MBA in it

some colleges:

• Amity university of Event Management
• National Institute of Event Management
• Institute for Tourism Future Management Trends (ITFT)

5) Photography and film making : Highly competitive and skill based field

- Most good colleges are in Mumbai and Bangalore

6) Make up Artist : I know, sounds cheap but it is not, I promise. This is a highly competitive and creative field that pays really well if you manage to find work in Bollywood. I know someone who completed her Electrical Engineering degree and went to Mumbai to become a make up artist - I think she works for a tv channel now and does make up for tv artists and tv serials.

institutes:

• BIBTHD, Mumbai
• Christine Valmy International School of Esthetics (Mumbai)

I hope the options helped expand your understanding of an arts career. of course there is a lot of things in the field which cannot all be included in one post.

best of luck to you.

Dear Aspirant,

If you are asking for which way to go in career for a creative person with lot of knowledge, then I would suggest you to go for pursue arts in bachelors, you could go for bachelor of arts, or fashion designing if you have a knack for designing and fashion.

You could also go for career in civil services as there is a need of a lot of knowledgeable people in civil services in our country. You could use your creativity and knowledge in that field effectively and it will help a lot to the people in general and in specific.

If you have creativity in the field of computers and softwares, then I suggest you should go for Computer Science and Engineering as this field respects creative people and also provide a lot of money.

Following are the links to all the things discussed above (in details):
