Question 2

What is Art?

Answer

The definition of art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative, conceptual ideas, or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power. Other activities related to the production of works of art include the criticism of art, the study of the history of art, and the aesthetic dissemination of art.Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time, general descriptions center on the idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation. When it comes to visually identifying a work of art, there is no single set of values or aesthetic traits.

Question 3

What are the qualities of an Artist?

Question 5

How can you start as an Artist?

Answer

Defining and visualizing your art career in this way will help you see the natural progression of steps to take to grow your art business, not to mention alleviate the “deer in headlights” feeling that comes with taking on a big endeavor. Next, identify your target customer. This is a marketing term you’ll hear time and time again, but that’s only because it’s so important! When you figure out what your ideal client is like (the one most likely to buy your artwork), you’ll start to understand how you can promote your pieces more effectively, so you actually make some money. Talking about finances can put anyone on edge, but it’s an unavoidable step in a viable business plan. Pricing can be one of the hardest things for artists to figure out. Figuring out how to make a profit can be even harder. But that’s the goal of being a professional artist, right? Making a living from your art?

Question 6

What are the challenges of being an Artist?

Answer

Regardless of the career stage, there are similar roadblocks that can occur for all artists. Most of those traps that we fall into are self-imposed as well. And while there are definite external challenges that will test your grit and perseverance, many of these challenges are internal. The first question that occupies artists is what art to make. This seems basic, but many artists struggle with it perpetually. But whether you are honing a craft or experimenting, the underlying factor for all artists is time and resources. The challenge to search for sorts of innovations seems to be one thing that unites aspiring artists generally. Artwork is mostly commissioned, which creates the possibility of working with a lot of constraints being another challenge.
