From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The definition of an artist is wide-ranging and covers a broad spectrum of activities to do with creating art, practicing the arts and/or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less often for actors). "Artiste" (the French for artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is certainly valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism. From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How long should a featured artist play at a concert with other artists? Q. I'm hosting a variety show in November and I have a cello quartet that will be our featured artist. I was thinking of asking them to play fo 20 minutes or a little longer. Is there a standard amount of time a featured artist plays at a show with other acts in it? It's a 2 hour program, no contest, other musical acts along with comedy and poetry readings. Asked by Belle74 - Wed Oct 29 07:34:49 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. There are several items that can adjust the time. How long is the total program? Is the rest of the program a contest? What is your audience? Here are my suggestions. This is based on 90 minutes of program. Open with the Quartet. A single selection 8-10 minutes. Alternate styles of performances by the other acts for 30-35 minutes. Quartet perform another 10 minutes. Remaining acts alternating styles again for 30 minutes. Cello Quartet closing with a single short selection. If your audience is there to see the Quartet you could make their closer longer. If it is a contest. The winners should be announced at the very end. Either way all performers should be brought back on stage as a group, not one at a time.

Q. I'm just curious, how do you go about becoming a tatoo artist? Where can you go to have tatoo artist lessons and obtain a license? Asked by Kate-Ann - Sun Aug 9 17:27:25 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Buy the equipment -- it's not too expensive. Practice on fruit. I've heard grapefruit works well. Then practice on yourself. Then get a friend to volunteer. You may not have as hard a time as you think if you've practiced a lot and did one or two pieces OK on yourself. Then worry about getting a license, if such is necessary where you live. At least that's what I'd do. I have one or two people I know who've started and made decent progress. I'm more of a painter but one of my favorite artists started to do tattoo work and has posted some of it and maybe some other information (I vaguely remember) on her page Answered by Mr. WackyDoodle - Sun Aug 9 17:37:50 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "artist" Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions.
