What is an artist?

An artist is someone who performs or creates something. I think everyone is an artist. Even if one doesn’t consider himself or herself artist, they are performing art everyday. In today’s society, most people believe an artist is only someone paints, draws, acts, makes movies, ect. I believe how a person walks, speaks, sits, or carry themselves is an art. I love observing people and their behavior patterns. As an animator, I look at facial expression and body gesture to understand someone’s emotion. When I animate objects or characters I try to imitate life and I carry the knowledge from my observations to suggest how they are feel in different scenes. I guess, being an animator, made me appreciate the slightest detail of people and their art.
