 Artist and Artisan
Artist
The word “artist” is generally
defined as an art practitioner, such
as a painter, sculptor,
choreographer, dancer, writer,
poet, musicians, and the like, who
produces or creates indirectly
functional arts with aesthetic value
using imagination.
Artisan
is a craftsman, such as carpenter,
carver, plumber, blacksmith,
weaver, embroiderer,
and the like, who produces directly
functional and/or decorative arts.

COMPONENTS
OF THE ART
MARKET
 Curator
• is a manager or overseer, and
usually a curator or keeper of a
cultural heritage
institution

• 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
 Art Buyer

knowledgeable in art, who
may scout talents for an
advertising agency seeking
to employ an art director, or
who may look for an art for a
collector or a company.
 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.

business side of the art world. They
keep up with the trends in the
market and are knowledgeable
about the style of art that people
 Private Collection

by the institution, but is on loan from an
individual or organization, either for
temporary exhibition or for the long term.
The source is usually from an Art
Collector, although it could be from a
school, church organization, from bank or
from other private company or any
THE
CREATIVE
PROCESS
 Creation starts at the
end. We need to have an

want to create of what we

manifest. We need a
WANT. vision – individual or
collective – that we want
to realize.
 Know what
currently exists
It is difficult to create
something novel and/or
original in any area of
knowledge without being
aware of what is being
done in that area.
 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,
sometimes you will make
serious mistakes and you
 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
 Learn the rhythms of the
creative process.

These are three

fundamental stages in
every creative process:
germination, assimilation,
and completion.
 THREE STAGES IN THE
CREATIVE PROCESS
01 Germination (Idea)

02 Assimilation

03 Completion
 Germination (Idea)
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. It is a powerful
time you will have to use wisely for
providing the right steps to move
forward. In the germination stage, you
are planting the seeds of your creation.
The most important and difficult thing in
this stage is choosing.
Assimilation
It is a crucial step in the
creative process. During this
phase you will internalize and
assimilate or incorporate the
idea you want to create. Plan,
analyze it, and cultivate it with
all the available resources.
 Completion
is the time to finish your project,
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
disperse with a new vision. Put a
deadline to your projects and
do not get entangled in small
and never-ending details.
THREE STAGES IN
ART MAKING
Art-making can be associated
with art exploration, concept
development, and art production.
In the creative process, the artist
undergoes three stage of
experience, which are popularly
known as reproduction,
production, and postproduction.

MEDIU TECHNIQUE
M
 It refers to the materials that are
used by an artist to create a work of
art. The plural form of medium is

MEDI media. Without the medium, an

idea remains a concept, or it would
just dwell in the walls of the
artist’s imagination. It is

UM challenging to manipulate medium

and transform in from its raw state.
 It refers to the artist’s ability and
knowledge or technical know-how in
manipulating the medium. It is the
manner by which the artist controls the
medium to achieve the desired effect;

TECHNIQUE
thus, it is in the technique that artists
differ from one another.
Making an artwork requires technical
competence. The ability to manipulate is
the driving force in the
