Study Notes

Artist and Artisan

Artists express vision through various art forms, primarily focusing on aesthetics.
Artisans craft functional items, emphasizing utility over aesthetic appeal.
Artists typically exhibit work in museums or galleries, while artisans sell their creations at fairs and shops.
Common examples of artists include painters, sculptors, dancers, writers, and musicians.
Artisans encompass craftsmen like carpenters, blacksmiths, weavers, and plumbers, producing useful and decorative items.
Both artists and artisans learn from others but develop unique styles over time.

Functional and Non-Functional Art

Functional art serves a practical purpose (e.g., furniture, tools), providing direct value to everyday life.
Non-functional art exists mainly for aesthetic enjoyment, emphasizing beauty without utility.

Production Process in Art

Art production does not follow a strict linear path; it incorporates flexibility and creativity.
Preproduction: Artists start with an idea, involving research and conceptual exploration.
Production: Execution varies across disciplines, from painting and sculpture to conceptual art. Process can involve intense precision or instinctual methods.
Postproduction: Completed artworks are often showcased in galleries or performances, promoting interaction and audience engagement.
