Does art exist in a vacuum or must it be shared and experienced?
If your work never reaches another soul can it still be considered art?
An argument can be made that everyone is an artist, if you've ever written prose or made a drawing, but certainly all art is not created equal.
Often it seems to call oneself an artist is to invite a judgement of pretentiousness. I suppose I must be an artist, for a few years now my goal in life has simply been to create something beautiful before I die. Driven not by fame or money but simply to create.
I imagine it would be gratifying to have a positive impact on someone else's life through my labor. Then I could proudly call myself an artist.
What does being an artist mean to you? Do you consider yourself an artist?
