Artists and Artisans
Artists create original works of art, expressing personal ideas and emotions through mediums like painting, sculpture, or digital art.
Example:
• Vincent Van Gogh is known for his expressive paintings like "Starry Night" and "Sunflowers."
• Frida Kahlo is famous for self-portraits like "The Two Fridas" and "Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird."
Artisans are skilled craftspeople who create functional or decorative objects using traditional techniques and expertise, focusing on craftsmanship and practicality rather than personal expression.
• Blacksmith uses metalworking skills to forge tools, decorative objects, and sculptures from iron or steel. Great example: • Potter creates pottery such as bowls and vases using clay and techniques like wheel-throwing or hand-building.
