Introduction:

“Art for art’s sake,” people say. They usually think that the process just ends as simple

What is an Artist? 1

The word “artist” is generally defined as an art practitioner in its general definition. It
includes a choreographer, painter, sculptor, writer, dancer, musicians, poet, and the
like. They are the creatures who makes/produces/creates indirectly functional arts with
aesthetic (beauty) value using imagination. Thus, artists provide us with different kinds
of artworks, be it literary piece, dance, painting, music, sculpture, and so on. They
serve as means of provoking our thoughts, ideas, and emotions that are needed to
discover ourselves and our being as a person, and as an artist.

Artists are such creative, artistic creatures who make arts and use to communicate
them using such imagination. They use different mediums (media) to remedy visual
problems. For the artists’ inspiration, they look/ search to different sources. Some
artists rely on creative motivation, while some used to look into their environment to
have more ideas.

Artists are equipped with strength/courage in risk-taking. They are able to see their
surroundings in new and unusual ways. Sometimes they see things not seen by
others. Achieving goals is their priority, as such, they are willing to work intensely for
long periods of time. Some artists are self-taught and have been called folk-artist
because they are not educated in traditional artistic methods. Just like the artists, the
artisans learn skills and techniques from some other artist but eventually, both artists
and artisans, develop their own unique styles/strategies.

A person who displays great. [6]
An artisan (from French: artisan, Italian: artigiano) is a skilled craft worker who
makes or creates material objects partly or entirely by hand. These objects may
be functional or strictly decorative. Examples are furniture, decorative
art, sculpture, clothing, jewelry, food items, household items and tools and
mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker. Artisans
practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels
of an artist. [4]
An artisan is a craftsman, such as plumber, carver, blacksmith, carpenter,
embroiderer, weaver, and the like, who produces directly functional and/or decorative
arts. Artisans are very helpful in making people live an easy way of life. They help us
in meeting our basic needs, such as food, clothing, shelter, furniture, and kitchen

Who are the Important Players in the Art Market?

Curator: one who has the care and superintendence of something especially : one
in charge of a museum, zoo, or other place of exhibit.
In a good-sized art museum, each curator is generally responsible for a single
department or collection: European painting, Asian sculpture, Native American art,
and so on. Curatorial duties include acquiring new artworks, caring for and repairing
objects already owned, discovering frauds and counterfeits, lending artworks to
other museums, and mounting exhibitions of everything from Greek sculpture to
20th-century clothing. [7]

A curator is a content specialist charged with an institution’s collections, selecting art


to be displayed in a museum, organizing art exhibitions in galleries or public places,
researching artists, and writing catalogs and involved with the interpretation of
heritage. [1]

Art Buyer. An art buyer is a professional who is knowledgeable in art, who may scout
talents for an advertising agency seeking to employ an art director, or who my look for
an art for a collector or a company. [1]

Art Dealer. An art dealer is a person or a company that buys and sells works of art.
Art dealers often study the history of art before starting their careers. They have to
understand the business side of the art world. They keep up with the trends in the
market and are knowledgeable about the style of art, or what we call “what’s in”, that
people want to buy/purchase. [1]

Private collection is a privately owned collection of works (usually artworks). In


a museum or art-gallery context, the term signifies that a certain work is not owned by
that institution, but is on loan from an individual or organization, either for temporary
exhibition or for the long term. This source is usually an art collector, although it could
also be a school, church, bank, or some other company or organization. By contrast,
collectors of books, even if they collect for aesthetic reasons (fine book-
bindings or illuminated manuscripts for example), are called bibliophiles, and their
collections are typically referred to as libraries. [8]

The Work of the Creative Artist [3]

Creativity is an artist’s trait developed in the course of his life to solve problems or
express his feelings/emotions. His ever-continuing reaction to nature, social life, gives
the start/birth of new ideas and methods. Thus, these the artist uses to
provide/give/apply solutions to a vision, create art, or activate social transformation.
The process of creativity is of three folds:
1.) with artist as the prime mover;
2.) communicating his ideas through the performer;
3.) as his interpreter to the audience.

Each participate actively in the creative process although in the case of the
reader/observer/listener, the intensity of the activity may be less than that of the artist
who produces work.

Creation is the act of combining or re-ordering already existing materials so that a


new object is formed. [3]

Art is a planned activity. The process of creation is of three major phases: First, the
artist must have an idea wherein artist thinks of a design →involves Planning. Next is,
he must have a material and process to work on → involves Constructing; Lastly,
he must give form to his idea → involves organizing the form.

The Creative Process. [1]

In the book of Robert Fritz, had given the steps in the creative process. According to
him, creating is a skill that can be learned and developed. The same as with any other
skill, we learn by practice and hands-on-experience – we can learn to create by
creating.

There steps we can follow, not as a formula to adopt, but as indications to guide our
actions.

The Stages in the Creative Process presented by Fritz: [1]

1.Conceive the result you want to create. Creation starts at the end. We need to
have an idea of what we want to create, of what we want to have and manifest. We
need a vision – Individual or collective – that we want to realize.

2. Know what currently exists. What has just recently existed or existing should be
known. One may find it hard to create something novel and/or original in any area of
knowledge without being aware of what is being done/happened in that area.

3. Take actions. Having a wonderful idea or vision is not enough. You have to do
something to make it real, to manifest it although sometimes you will have to do things
that might generate criticism.

4. Develop your creativity. Every new creation gives you fresh thoughts and
knowledge of your own creative process. You will then increase your ability to picture
what you want and your capacity to bring those outcomes into real-life situation.

5. Learn the rhythm of the creative process. There are 3 fundamental stages in
every creative process: germination, assimilation, and completion.

Three Stages in the Creative Process. [1]

1. Germination (Idea)

The Idea.
Artists are highly sensitive and artistic persons. He can notice the sounds, colors,
movement of people and things. A particular experience of the artist serves as a basis
for a picture, poem, play, dance. Cultural background plays a big role; as it makes a
painter be attracted in using it as a subject, and also wants to share experience. A
novelist may write about life and misfortune of the woman which may then reflect social
and economic problems. An essayist may use his/her own life (although most of the
time being implied) as a subject in compositions. Although sometimes being implied
or hidden in his works.

It is the initial moment when you conceive a new project in your life. It is a moment
with a lot of energy coming out of the future you envision. As the word implies, to

germinate is you are planting the seeds of your creation. The most important and
difficult thing in this stage is choosing. You need to be more specific about what you
want to do. You have to be sure what messages you really want to give to the
reader/listener/audience, etc.

2. Assimilation.

The Material and Process. The artist himself is the brain and leader of his creation.
The artist making the artwork is the boss of his own artwork wherein he/she can
choose whatever the mediums/materials needed as long as heshe is able to
communicate the idea he/she wants to convey.

A painter uses pigments as his material; an author uses words; a composer – musical
sounds; choreographer – people and their movements; a sculptor – stone, metal,
wood; an architect – various building materials Art is a result of a cooperative activity
wherein team of artist is motivated by a common goal as in the production of a play,
movie, etc.

During this phase, you will internalize and assimilate or incorporate the idea you want
to create. Plan, analyze it, and cultivate it all the available resources.

In this stage, your project, which initially was something external to you or to the group,
comes into your own being, becomes one with you. In this way, your creation grows
from inside and begins to manifest in everything you do, consciously or unconsciously.
Every idea you have, every new connection you establish acts in your vision, making
it more tangible, giving it life.

3. Completion.

Organization and Form. Organizing idea and giving it (artwork) form in selected
materials. Artist may come up with different forms because they used to express ideas
they work on or they want to express. Thus, artists usually produce different artworks
because of different views in life. In the space art, style comes in depending on the
decision of the artist. It can be symmetrical (two sides of the object are identical, which
tends to emphasize the center), and asymmetrical (otherwise of symmetry).

Completion is the time to finish/organize your project or work, to give it the final shape
before you present it to the audience. It is a difficult time because your energy will be
small and likely dispersed with a new vision. Put a deadline to your projects and do
not get entangled in small and never-ending details. Stay firm with decisions in
organizing artworks.

Three Stages in Art-Making. [1]

Art-making can be associated with art exploration, concept development, and art
production.
In the creative process, the artist undergoes 3 stages of experience:

1.Pre-production or Subject Development. This ends when the planning ends, and
the content starts being produced.

2. Production or Medium Manipulation. It is the actual constructing of the artworks.


This is a method of joining diverse material inputs and unimportant inputs (plans,
know-how) to make something for consumption (the output). It is the act of creating
output, a good or service that has significance and contributes to the utility of
individuals.

3. Post-Production or Exhibition. Once an artwork is finished, it will be displayed,


circulated, and performed for the audience and public to see or watch.

Medium and Technique. [2]

Medium. from the Latin word “medium” which the means the artist communicate
his/her idea. Medium are actually the materials used by the artist to
create/show/interpret/provide the message/s to the reader/listener/spectator/
audience a work of art.

Architect→uses stone, woods, bricks, bamboo, and other building materials


Painter →uses pigments on canvas or wood
Sculptor →uses marble, steel, wood, bronze, metal
Musician→uses instruments to communicate/produce message/s
Writer →uses words [2]

Technique is the manner the artist controls his medium to attain the goal of a desired
effect. It is the way artist manipulates the medium to express feelings/emotions, and
idea in the artwork.
It refers to the artists ability and knowledge or technical requirement of his artwork/s
thus, it is in the technique that artists differ from one another. [2]

The Artist and His Medium [2]

With the mediums used by the artist, he thinks, feels, give shape to his vision in making
artwork/s. Of the medium chosen by the artist, he believes that is the best way to
communicate the idea he/she wants to give the viewers. The artist may choose more
than one medium, which, actually depends on his/her choice.

In choosing the medium, the artist sees to it that he can handle it with ease and
comfort, something that would best suit his plan and vision, something that he/she will
be able to show what he really like to achieve and reveal in artwork/s. He should love,
respect, and understand his medium, so in the end he would be able to explore his
imagination, much easier to expand knowledge, improving his/her skill in his output,
the artwork.

The Artist and His Technique [2]

Specific of technique, artists are different from one another. His technique in a
particular medium may be different when he used another one. For an artist, technique
is never an end but a means to an end. The making of a piece of sculpture is not the
same as in making a table. Both require technique, but in the work of a sculptor, it
requires knowledge, competence, creativity. Thus, technique is very important that
distinguishes the scenario when it comes to making of an art and a craft.

The Maker and the Viewer of Art [4]

Two important parties involved in art: the maker and the viewer.

The maker of the art is called an artist. Because the maker of the art is a human
person, he/she brings with him/her his ideas, ideals, feelings, fears, emotions, social
condition and everything else that concerns the person doing art.

In doing art, the artist applies his/her skill in the use of materials, sensitivity to artistic
composition and organization of elements, and creativity of expression.

Whatever style the artist has, planning is essential at different stages of his/her art-
making. The artist plans how to arrange the elements, which images to put in the
background or in what position they should be, etc.
Art-making also consists of a series of problem-finding and problem-solving. The artist
uses his intuition and understanding of the subject matter to identify areas of conflict
or unity within his/her artwork. He/she also solves problems that arise within the
process, from the moment work begins up to the pint of completion.

The artist chooses the medium that best expresses what he/she wants to convey
through art and manipulates the medium in a skillful way.

The viewer of art is the human being who receives the meaning being communicated
through an artwork. Some people call the viewer “the gazer,” “onlooker,” or “audience.”
A viewer takes the role of an art critic who examines the artwork from historical, social,
biographical, critical, or other points of view. This requires more knowledge,
experience, and articulation.

still be recognized if: {9}
