The definition of an artist is wide-ranging and covers a broad spectrum of activities to do with creating art, practicing the arts and/or demonstrating an art. The normal meaning in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only. The term is often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (less often for actors). "Artiste" (the French for artist) is a variant used in English only in this context. Use of the term to describe writers, for example, is certainly valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like criticism.

How do artists figure out how best to compose a painting or photograph?
Q. I took a beginning watercoloring class recently and would like to learn more about painting composition. My class was so short and simple that we really didn't talk about composition at all.

A. Composition is one of the key ingredients in a work of art! There are many books, articles and even college course offered on the subject. You can turn out beautifully rendered paintings and drawings, but if the composition suffers, your work will be overlooked more readily. A good composition catches and keeps the viewers eye, leading them through the elements of the work, and acting as a good foundation on which to display you craft at brushstrokes, blending, color choices, etc. This article defines the different aspects of composition: this link will also get you to some more articles about composition: And your library should have a good book or two with pictures, examples, and even simple diagrams that explain what works… [cont.]

A. Keane: Perfect Symmetry (album+song, since you liked the Viva la Vida album the best, but if you like coldplay's earlier stuff too listen to the songs "everybody's changing", "is it any wonder?", "crystal ball", and "somewhere only we know." The Killers: Day&Age or Hot Fuss (albums, because it has an edgy-electro sound somewhat like Viva la Vida. specific songs by this artist, definately "read my mind", "smile like you mean it", and "when you were young."

Q. I completely forgot the name of the song but i remember it had many artists and i think the video may have been in black and white. They were taking off bandage like things from their eyes of body parts and it said different words like "singer" or something. Helppp?
