Often, philosophers think about or argue about where artistic creation comes from. In fact, since ancient times, thinkers like Plato have talked about their ideas about art and the artist's role in making the work. For instance, some people say that inspiration or ability, not the work of the artist himself, are what make art possible. For this purpose, we are talking about art. Talent is a capacity or ability that lets a person focus on an activity. Because of this, we can think of ability as a gift that someone has in a certain area that makes them want to make things.
Some people might think that art is something that only talented and creative people can do. But a lot of the time, we forget to see the work as the result of hard work and the fruit of knowledge. What makes an artist great: his mind or his skill? Why does the artist have to be so smart? What if it's the other way around? Is it possible for a man to be an artist without being talented?
In Latin, "artis" means skill, which is where the word "artist" comes from. This means that an artist is skilled with his hands and has a sense of beauty. They can use this skill to make a work of art that follows the rules of the art. Being talented comes from having a gift, which means that the artist has a natural talent or tendency that they have without having to work at it. So, he makes things without thinking about it because he is sensitive and emotional. This time, art doesn't come from a lot of hard work. Instead, it comes from an experience that makes the artist want to make beautiful things.
So being skilled is enough to make you an artist. Gifts and talents are very important because they let people make beautiful and unique things. There is nothing about how many hours, how much work, or even how hard a task is that makes it beautiful. How beautiful a work of art is depends on how much skill went into making it.
A piece of art is meant to make someone feel something when they look at it, touch it, smell it, hear it, or even taste it. Artists and their work are everywhere.
Thus, the artist's skill is what makes him good at what he does. Kant said, "Art does not want the representation of a beautiful thing; it wants the beautiful representation of a thing." This is true for all forms of art, from painting to music to dance to sculpture to poetry. When the endless art of meaning is mixed with the artist's skill, beautiful works of art are made. So, this ability and this inspiration are what set artists apart from craftsmen, even though both are skilled.
But when an artist is inspired, they become possessed or magical in some way. What ? What does he not see? Doesn't the artist also work with tools? If he starts out with the gift, doesn't his experience make him a worker like everyone else, doing work that comes from real know-how?
If being skilled is important to being an artist, then don't call yourself an artist just because you want to be one. Talent isn't everything. There are many ways to define art, so there are also many ways to define an artist. A craftsman or expert is also an artist because they use their skills and knowledge to make things. There are rules that artists must follow when they work, and those rules shape the artist's work. Art is understanding rules and ideas. Doesn't the artist follow the rules that other people and society have set up? In fact, Plato thinks of art as copying copying.
The artist must learn his rules and work on himself and his work in order to know them. Is this case going to change its so-called originality? Since harmony doesn't happen naturally (it's not a gift), the artist has to make it happen by drawing it from real life. Aside from that, the artist has to change with the times and the style (classical, emotional, symbolic). People will get tired of his work if he doesn't change it and make it better. This is why the artist's work is just as important as their ability.
So being skilled isn't enough to be an artist. The artist has to put his skills and work together. Talent makes work unique and tailored to each person. In line with the rules of the art, the work brings accuracy and beauty. A native who doesn't know about our culture can enjoy the skill and well-known work of a simply beautiful piece, but he won't understand what makes a piece by a so-called inspired artist unique.
But does this method by itself allow for the creation of beautiful works? Doesn't everyone have some kind of art? In the area he loves? How does a man become an artist?
If the artist is both a worker and a genius in the end, then his work is not just the result of these traits. In reality, the artist only does half of the job. The rest is up to the people who come to see it and decide what they think about it. The artist's work is what makes him unique. On the other hand, what is beauty if the artist is someone who can make something beautiful? It is set by personal, national, or traditional social norms.
If an artist shows beauty through customs and personal feelings, then he is being honest. To make an original work, he has to go deep into himself and, if he can't do that, ignore his culture, his experience, and his experience. Often, his creative, avant-garde personality is what will bring him to the top of Genius. That being said, Lavoisier said that nothing is made and nothing is lost. So where does this originality come from? Of course work.
Man is an artist because of his job, his genius, his audience, and his work.
But can the human spirit create forever, or has it buried all the secrets of humanity and creation so deeply that only people who work hard and don't give up can bring them back to life through their creativity? As a man who is clearly affected, shouldn't the artist be the one to show what he sees and what he thinks? The work would be the self-made sensitive and at peace.
The word art is where the words artist and craftsman came from. Because of this, art is made when a skilled artist and a skilled worker work together. He is a very smart and skilled person. What makes each artist unique is how much skill and work they put into their work. But that doesn't matter because their goal is the same: to show beauty as accurately as possible, to show the truth.
