Is the difference between artist and craftsman the ability to draw freehand?
I have been paid to do drafting with templates and writing tools that scale lettering. Iso drawing also require a 3d thinking. Some of my sketches was just as good as iso drawings. The artists were using air brushes and creating marketing pictures.
Is artistry learning and trying new things? New ideas to the industry or just new to the individual might generate the term artist or innovator.
Is artists just doing non-traditional crafts?
These might be good discussion questions.
Les, to me your flowers have many aspects of artistry. Abstract outlines of flowers, layers of wood and layers of paint. A interesting method of creating a border. The craftsmenship of scrolling allowed you to envision and try this experiment.
I applaud you for being innovative, artsy and crafty.
Me.
