The word "artist" is generally defined as an art practitioner, such as a painter, sculptor, choreographer,

dancer, writer, poet, musicians, and the like, who produces or creates indirectly functional arts with
aesthetic value using imagination. Thus, artists provide us with paintings, sculptures, dances, music,
literary pieces, and so on, as a means of provoking our thoughts, ideas, and emotions that are necessary
to discover ourselves and our being.

Artists are creative individuals who use their imagination and skills to communicate in an art form. They
use the materials of an art to solve visual problems. Artists look to many sources for inspiration. Some
look forward to their natural and cultural environment for ideas; others look within themselves for
creative imagination.

Artists exhibit the courage to take risks. They are able to see their surroundings in new and unusual
ways. They are willing to intensely for long periods of time to achieve their goals. Some artists are self-
taught and have been called folk-artists because they are not educated in traditional artistic methods.

Vincent Van Gogh is one of the most famous artist that everyone with the background of art knows.
Even though they are face value facts. With his creation, The Starry Night, the famous painting seeks
feeling to everyone learning its' story and background.

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the
most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100
artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They
include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and
dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not
commercially successful in his career, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, which eventually
led to his suicide at age thirty-seven.

Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night in 1889 during his stay at the asylum of Saint-Paul-de-Mausole
near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence.

Starry Night is one of the most recognized pieces of art in the world. It is absolutely everywhere, too. It
can be seen on coffee, mugs, t-shirts, towels, magnets, etc. Honestly, it sometimes feels as if the
painting’s fame has exceeded that of its creator. It is a magnificent piece of art. That Starry Night
resonates with so many people is a testament to how its beauty is timeless and universal.
Michael Angelo is also one of the most influential artist. With his iconic painting the "creation of adam".
It shows the essence of what makes us mortal and our relationship to the devine.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the
High Renaissance. Born in the Republic of Florence, his work was inspired by models from classical
antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art. Michelangelo's creative abilities and mastery in a
range of artistic arenas define him as an archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder
contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci.[3] Given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and
reminiscences, Michelangelo is one of the best-documented artists of the 16th century. He was lauded
by contemporary biographers as the most accomplished artist of his era.

The Creation of Adam is a fresco painting by Italian artist Michelangelo, which forms part of the Sistine
Chapel's ceiling, painted. It illustrates the Biblical creation narrative from the Book of Genesis in which
God gives life to Adam, the first man. The fresco is part of a complex iconographic scheme and is
chronologically the fourth in the series of panels depicting episodes from Genesis.

The painting has been reproduced in countless imitations and parodies. Michelangelo's Creation of
Adam is one of the most replicated religious paintings of all time.

-Art is a place where once our mouths can't speak, our imaginations whisper. It moves the vessels of our
arms to create wonders that both inspire and raise awareness to the social happenings in our material
world.

- Being able to create art to express oneself is one of the most important value of an artist. It is to show
genuine expression and emotion to ones creation in subtle ways but one can still feel fully.  They express
ideas and emotions that wouldn't otherwise be communicated. They help us better understand our
world and ourselves and can inspire change. Their role in society is to give us a different perspective and
help us see the world in different and creative ways. Through expressive outlets such as paintings,
sculptures, music, literature and other art forms, artists preserve life as we know it even better than
historical fact-based records. Art expresses how it felt to exist in a particular time.
