Value-In terms of color and economy

There are two meanings to the word value; one will mean about the light and dark values in color and shadow, which there is gradual change by the spectrum. In economy and business it is described in a line chart; for the business men and women, what they desire is more demand of their product and with it, of course, economic gain. They don't want their product to be sold in low a price. For the consumers, they want just the opposite. As an artist, it is certainly important to think about this; after all, working is all about living! But often times it can be difficult to live off with what you have- some paint, brush and a canvas. One can express what they belive and have people make fun of it, or even angry at ir, bring you right down from the top. So can you live with your style or idea? I think it depends on what kind of artist you are; If one would think just going on with one extravagant idea would be too dangerous, then it would be safe for them to meet what others demands and stay on the equilibrium. The creator survives, and the consumers are happy. But if one decides that is totally the most "chicken" thing to live life, then it will either make them successful or really unpopular. For those passionate artists, they could fall into extreme sides of spectrum. However, I do think you don't either have to a bandwagon or a solo adventurer; You could still produce something that people wants and still carry on with your style- just twisting normal thing to a "something" with your artistic talent will not only satisfy others but you also get the profit from it. Thus the conclusion is yes, finding that equilibrium is important to support your self in this age of demands. Even the most famous fashion designers today didn't succeed that easily. They all started in their beliefs which people may have not thought attractive but they did not gave up and thought, what is it that people wants and how can I equally show my style to it? Examples can be Ralph Lauren and other brands. They have worked hard to make their clothes a brand, which could also mean their own trend that many other people love and agrees on to.
