Is professional artist a meaningless title?

>> No.6677180

yes, drawing or painting as a hobby doesn’t make you an artist any more than singing to a song makes you a singer or writing fanfiction makes you a writer

Yeah.
Either "artist" is already a job and it's redundant, or it's not but then every person with too much free time and a pencil becomes an artist and the title becomes so vague you need proper ones like graphic designer, painter, performance artist, illustrator and such to tell people what the fuck you actually do.

It's only meaningful when it's said by the audience.

professional artist means you make money selling art

>> No.6677242

>>6677178
It means you make money from art and nothing more. It doesn't even describe skill level, unlike what /ic/ would have you believe.

Yes. The concept of art or artistry have been muddied and run into the ground ages ago. Say you're an illustrator or graphic designer.

>singing to a song
what about recording myself singing an original song?
>write fan fiction
what about writing original fiction?

>yes, drawing or painting as a hobby doesn’t make you an artist
OP said “professional.” Are you saying that the title artist inherently would only apply to one who does it professionally as their career, and hobbyists are simply not artists?
