Silver Star Academy Badge

How to recognise a true artist? By the wearing of a Silver Star Academy Badge of course.

It is a double layered, five-pinted star, with a double 'S' woven through them. It is the ultimate proof of mastery of an art form.

Trained in the fine arts, be it music, painting, sculpting, acting or any other form of art, the true artist receives their badge as proof of mastery upon graduation.

There are excelent and even gifted artists out there in the world, of that I have no doubt. But if they are wearing the Silver Star Academy Badge, you can be certain as well about the excellency of their art. Although, it comes with a certain price tag, as quality usually does, you can be cetain the result or performance will live up to the price requested. But fear not, these students, now turned true artists, do not only keep to themselves or the nobility alone.

Our wonderful culture would be awfully bland and devoid of artists if they did.

A true artist, has his or her art flowing through their veins, figuratively speaking of course. A portret painter, can be one to paint those of our noble liege, but just as well someone that paints a family member's resemblance inside a locket, so you have a keep sake of a loved one on you during a long voyage away from home.

What is the difference between a minstrel or a troubadour? Not much, only the public he mingles with and the subjects he sings about. Some of them wander the country or even the world, in search of new stories to expand the repetoire of their art. Others enliven the evening in a tavern or a pub, while yet others sing songs of praise and heroism in the halls of nobility.

Whatever the public, the price tag will remain reasonable but representative of the quality of the artist's prowes. The Silver Star Academy Badge being the final guarantee you will get more than you pay for. Every layer of the public can enjoy all the fine arts our wonderful city has to offer, even far outside its walls.

So if you see someone wearing this badge while performing the finer arts, keep in mind, this is the sign of a true artist. So slow down, calm down and relax, enjoy the culture you see being created right then and there, for it deserves your full attention.
