What is the difference between an artist and an artisan?
1 Answer
The difference between an artist and an artisan is what they make. Artists use technical skills and imagination to create works that communicate messages, tell stories and share ideas. Paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints are some of the types of things that artists produce. Artisans practice a trade and use their expertise to craft functional objects such as furniture, jewelry and pottery. Shop a wide variety of art, furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
