Is one considered to be an Artist?

[integra00]

Once you've had idb for the sake of your art

[Wedge_]

Judging by some of the things I've seen called "art", you're born one.

[superman]

whenever you think you're one

[Cartman]

Well, Why dont you just ask what is 'art'
Same question as: What is beauty? :: Everything/Everything

Everyone is an Artist.

[Nothing.]

You should consider yourself an artist when YOU think you're one.

[thadood]

Music is art. I'm a musician but I don't consider myself an artist. It depends on if you want to call yourself an artist.

[eyezik]

Yeah, I think most people can simply consider themselves artists in some form or another.

When you start wearing a beret?

[crowchaser]

as soon as you create art <----- this is a bs def.

i think any one who makes art(painting, photography, digital, music, linographs, all the different kinds of prints, or just throwing paint on a canvas works too)

When you create something that is truly admired by those around you and truly hated by yourself.

I think art is something that pushes the artist to their limits. It goes for everything to me. Like selling houses can be an art, so can painting. There's people who just draw or sell a house, then there's people that devote themselves to being the best at what they do. Art is pain and devotion.

Also, I fucking hate shitty art, or people who pretend they're artists. I went to the fair and they had pictures that 5 year olds drew. It was like a stick figure and an apple colored blue. That's not fucking art, that's a shitty drawing and a color blind 5 year old. Kids who don't know apples are red shouldn't be encouraged, they should be ridiculed.

yeah i agree! people like 50 cents, puff daddy, picasso, and jackson pollock should not be considered artists. especially pollock... a bunch of paint splatters on a huge canvas does not equal art. what a hack.

i hate it when non-artistic people go to a museum, act all artistic and shit, and look at some painting done with a bunch squares and circles (cubist stuff) and try to show off their so-called artistic "knowledge" blabbering bullshit about how it's so great

ha, this thread made me laugh..
so true man.. i hate it when people act all "SMARTY ART NIGGA" -chris rock.

I'd say the point is reached, when you can get art-critics to say things like "I enjoy the raw energy eminating from the light-on-dark masses emoting anger and angst through their collective synergies", while the general public looks at your work and says "WTF!?!?!?"

Of course COMMERCIAL artists have a different level of entry, involving art creation. You become a GOOD artist, when people pay for your work.

[ThatHideousStrength]

there are a lot of artist, but there are good ones and bad ones, just like driving, everyone pretty much drives, and their are really shitty ones and good ones.
