Hybrid Careers (Art and ...):

Art and Psychology/Health: Expressive therapy integrates the modalities of dance, drama, literature, music, poetry, and the

visual arts with the practice of psychotherapy

Arts education is an intersection of two fields that includes:

(1) the traditional teaching of art (including after school teaching )and (2) the use of art as an educational tool: human service work can use art as an educational tool. For example, educators working with youths living in high-risk environments often use art as an intervention to change behavior and as a vehicle for

expression.

Art and Computers: Computer graphics, animation, CAD (computer aided design),simulation, image processing, systems design, and scientific visualization all draw from both art

and technology.

Art and the Environment: Art can intersect with the built environment in a number of ways. Architectural firms often

employ graphic designers to collaborate with architects to develop sign systems. Environmental graphics can include banners and sign systems or exhibits for commercial,

industrial, or educational purposes (i.e., trade shows, hospitals, schools, museums, or other institutions). Industrial and product design is another area in which artists can look for work.
