So anyone who is passionated about what they create is an artist. No matter what they create or the result, as long as it's done with passion. Right? So for you the word artist, is about emotion and passion, not about the art which is created. For you it's about the intention, not about the result. Did I understand you correct this way?<BR/><BR/>When I think of an artist, I think differently. I would love to be able to paint a beautiful painting, I could be passionated while painting it. But to me that doesn't make me an artist. I think an artist is able and good at it to translate the emotions into the artwork, not everyone can do that. It's a skill and you need talent to reach that level. To you artist means someone who is passionated in what they create and to me it's someone who is passionated but also talented and skilled in what they do. To you an artist is about what they do, and to me it's about what they have created, their talent, skills and the result.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288903304921954913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-23953847620216467982007-11-13T01:24:00.000-08:002007-11-13T01:24:00.000-08:00I personally disagree with you.

The definition of "art" or even the label "artist" is something you can only find within yourself. If you paint, it does not matter how good you are as long as you are passionate about it; you are an artist because you create using emotions. However, if you are skilled at painting but do not feel for it, then you are not an artist. Si? <BR/><BR/>Therefore I think it's pretty safe for you to call yourself an artist, especially if you acknowledge that art is about storytelling, and portraying human nature and emotion. =]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21716727.post-1167967712461735402007-01-04T19:28:00.000-08:002007-01-04T19:28:00.000-08:00Hi Chaya, yes I think it's so interesting because ...Hi Chaya, yes I think it's so interesting because art is about emotion.<BR/><BR/>Did you ever write a song yourself?
