You know you probably wont read a lick of this its unlikely anyone will, and personaly I dont believe myself an Artist but I feel that this little journal deserves an answer from every single person that see's it. Seriously, I havent even read past your reply to Wereblood when I wrote this up Im half certain a good number of people are making fools of themselves at their expense but many of them are going to be most certainly right that you have your head WAY to far up your ass. Do not give my our Livejournal BULL Response, your going to give everyone A SERIOUS response eventualy and Please make it a more well thought out response than a blurb of nonsense.

But for now lets get down to explaining to you in whats likely a mass of opinions but I might be getting my ego a bit inflated now too. PLEASE READ Before you off and tell me im a huge idiot as all of this information is freely available and can be checked by simply using a library if your none to trusting to electronic sources.


First off the Deffinition of ARTIST.

Artist
–noun
1. a person who produces works in any of the arts that are primarily subject to aesthetic criteria. (Starting off here, producing works that are subject to aesthetic criteria can easily be subject to a person drawing a line with a blue pencil is most certainly and artist.)
2. a person who practices one of the fine arts, esp. a painter or sculptor. (Alright im not going to rant about this one just yet because it might take a good ammount of space. Key word however PRACTICES, by deffinition practicing an art form doesnt mean your a professional, its a habit at the very least.)
3. a person whose trade or profession requires a knowledge of design, drawing, painting, etc.: a commercial artist. (- Now, this sounds an afull like anyone who's made a single dollar off of a drawing is an ARTIST)
4. a person who works in one of the performing arts, as an actor, musician, or singer; a public performer: a mime artist; an artist of the dance. (- As Previously stated by others YOU CAN learn to do any of this without any proffessional teacher or any at all and still do well in each field by using personal experiance alone.)
5. a person whose work exhibits exceptional skill. (- If you plan on using this to defend your-explination then please DEFINE, "WHO" exactly has the right to say who's work is good and who's is not, by this virtue alone being an Artist is by virtue of a single person thinking you are.)
6. a person who is expert at trickery or deceit: He's an artist with cards. (Can you shuffle a deck of cards? Any good at magic tricks? Congratulations your an Artist.)
7. Obsolete. an artisan. (-Obsolete)

—Synonyms 1. Artist, artisan are persons having superior skill or ability, or who are capable of producing superior work. An artist is a person engaged in some type of fine art. An artisan is engaged in a craft or applied art. (-This applys mainly to ARTISAN who is now in common knowledge a professional at producing or preforming an Art form, now I might be able to slide with Artisans being a limited group of learned people an Artist is most certainly not someone who has a slip of paper decreeing them an artist.)

2. A person whose work shows exceptional creative ability or skill: "You are an artist in the kitchen." (-ZOMG a compliment, I cant believe that someone who can cook good can be an "Artist" Anyone can cook well by simple trial and error again you never have to have a slip of paper decreeing you a cook try every one of those cooks there and how many had schooling or just worked there way up through experiance in the field?)
3. One, such as an actor or singer, who works in the performing arts. (-YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GOTO SCHOOL TO BE SUCCESSFULL HERE, Seriously how many popular bands labeled as Artists world wide )
