Hi, please give me five reasons why I should be an art major. I need to show my parents because they don't believe me. Don't make them too long, just a few sentences each. Also, don't address it directly to my parents, it's not a letter.
Sure thing! You can give your parents these five reasons:

1. We consume art every day. TV, music, movies, photography--art isn't just a picture hanging in a gallery, although that's valuable, too. Becoming an artist means contributing your creativity to the world.
2. No one has the same ideas that you do. Two people can paint the same still life, and their paintings will still be unique because they interpreted the source differently. It's important to share YOUR vision because nobody else can.
3. While it's true that not every artist signs a million-dollar contract in a month, not every artist works for pennies, either. Plenty of artists make a liveable income or at least supplement their paychecks.
4. The Internet has made it easier than ever for artists to find work. You can jump on Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok and potentially earn thousands of followers. Artists also join Patreon, which allows their fans to fund their work in exchange for requests, sketches, and exclusive pieces.
5. If you don't act now, you might spend the rest of your life wondering why you didn't take the risk. It's better to try and potentially not succeed than never try at all.
