So, I defiantly have not been able to post all my thoughts. So they are all going to be at once. They have been saved up in word documents because I have been too nervous to share my thoughts. I'm just going to post all of them at once like ripping off a band aid.



My first idea about marketing came from a conversation I had with my mom. We actually had a sex talk. Not the kind you talk about when you’re a teenager but one about advertising with a sex appeal. Commercial, magazines, billboards all using beautiful women and men to promote their products. What I had learned from the conversation is the knowledge about advertising. My mother thought it was wrong to use sex appeal. I, on the other hand, know it is a good way to get a response from the customers who are teenagers on up to about 25 year olds.  Education in visual arts is more vital now because our generation uses technology to communicate visually and affects us everyday. My mother might be more understanding if she had taken classes about marketing. This is my first marketing class but art classes have helped me edit and respond to the material in a different way.



This is not the only reason a visual art classes would be beneficial, there is a whole book on visual arts from the National Art Education Association. The link to their pdf is below.
