Artist and Artisan

Artist is an art practitioner who produces or creates indirectly-functional arts with aesthetic
value using imagination. An artisan, in contrast, creates directly-functional arts.

The old-aged concept of an artist fulfills the following functions:


First, artists record. Painters, sculptors, photographers, cinematographers give visual images that
can be preserved for historical reference. They gave people today the idea on what people, places or
things from the past looked like.

Second, artists give tangible form to the unknown. Artists attempt to record what cannot be
seen with the eyes or what has not yet occurred. By presenting concrete images to these unknowns,
artists can help people tame or handle, if not overcome fear or anxiety these unknowns may have on
people.
Third, artists give tangible form to feelings. The feelings usually expressed by artists are
those feelings shared by many people—love, hate, anger, fear, despair, etc., which allow
communication amongst people who have felt the same thing.

Lastly, artists offer an innovative way of seeing. Artists introduce new ideas, techniques and
even styles on seeing things. Their creativeness and influence capacitate observers to see artworks
in a new light.
Artisan is a craftsman who produces directly functional and/or decorative arts. A craftsman helps
us in meeting our basic needs. A craftsman makes things that make our life easy, comfortable and
convenient.

Artist and Artisan both develop works of art, address different needs of man, works are both
valued and noticed. Both require skills and technical competence, serve society in different ways,
and help preserve our culture.

Nowadays, some societies consider artisans an artist. They are known as artists with
specialized or technical training who carry out practical role or function.
