An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to 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.

What contemporary artist has some sort of connection with psychology?
Q. I have to do a small research paper on a contemporary artist. I am a psychology major and am interested in surrealism, but that's an older movement. I am looking for an artist with some sort of connection to psychology - perhaps in the art or perhaps this person had an illness? Thanks for the suggestions! "artist" as in, involved with fine arts; disregarding musicians and writers. sorry for not being specific

How does it work when an artist gets signed to a record label?
Q. What does the producer do for the artist? What does the artist have to do, still write their own songs, or does the record label write your songs, what about the beats, money deals?
Asked by Adrian - Fri Nov 13 01:43:09 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It does completely vary from artist to artist and the level of creative control also varies from artist to artist. In some cases an artist has recorded and album and the label just picks it up and releases it as is. In some cases a label will find someone who has a few of their own songs but has a great voice and lots of charisma (usually pure pop stars) and they will arrange for co-writes or songs for them to sing and which producers to work with. A producer generally tries to help an artist make the best album possible. Producers also vary in their approach and the degree to which they get involved. Many of them help with songwriting and arrangement - some of them are more engineering oriented and just help with the recording… [cont.]

How does an artist create skin tones using a range of ballpoint pens?
Q. Hi, I'm an artist working with ballpoint pens on paper, I've made some pretty nice work with simple black on white, and recently I picked up a boatload of coloured ones. So far I've been unsuccessful in creating a good skin tone with them. Can anyone give me pointers as to how to get a skin tone down from pens?
Asked by Jacob F - Mon Jan 7 22:20:39 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. well, we learn in our drawing classes that by stippling, hatching, and cross hatching, we can develop different values of color. So with a ball point pen I have seen a lot of beautiful skin tones created using these techniques! Good luck and have fun!
