What is an artist? I feel like our society in general do not really understand what is to be an artist. It is for most of the time, not taken seriously because you do not need to go in a big school and study a lot to become one. But, if you think about it, a lot can even draw a house. Some people are good at writing their feeling, for a professional artist they do it by creating images of their emotion. Its by giving a message in a painting or a drawing that artist express themselves, and I truly think that this is another type of genius to do so. Back in time, being an artist was something big that's why we all know Leonard de Vinci, Michel-Ange, Donatello and a lot more. So, what does an artist do in their days. They will work on a piece that wil take them hours or days to complete. However, when their not working on a project, they can be practicing their skill with some sketch. Also, a part of being an artist is to find ideas and to process them into an artwork, and it might take sometimes. An artist can use all sort of materiel such as paint, ink, pastel and so much more, the only limit is their imagination.
