***MEMBER Of ArtBRISTO***
Sculptors design three-dimensional artworks, either by
molding and joining materials such as clay,
glass, wire, plastic, fabric, or metal or by cutting
and carving forms from a block of plaster,
wood, or stone. Some sculptors combine
various materials to create mixed-media
installations. Some incorporate light,
sound, and motion into their works, recently even digital media here in the 21st century.
Printmakers create printed images from designs cut or
etched into wood, stone, or metal.
After creating the design, the artist inks the surface of
the woodblock, stone, or plate and uses a
printing press to roll the image onto paper or
fabric. Some make prints by pressing the inked surface
onto paper by hand or by graphically
encoding and processing data, using a computer.
The digitized images are then printed on paper with
the use of a computer printer.
Painting restorers preserve and restore damaged and
faded paintings. They apply solvents and
cleaning agents to clean the surfaces of the
paintings, they reconstruct or retouch damaged areas,
and they apply preservatives to protect the
paintings. Restoration is highly detailed work
and usually is reserved for experts in the field.
Since the late 20th century Multi-media artists and
animators work primarily in
motion picture
and video industries, advertising, and
computer systems design services.
They draw by hand and use computers to create the series of
pictures that form the animated images or special
effects seen in movies, television
programs, and computer games. Some draw storyboards
for television commercials, movies, and animated features.
Storyboards present television commercials in a series of scenes similar to a comic
strip and allow an advertising agency to evaluate commercials proposed by advertising
companies.
Storyboards also serve as guides to
placing actors and cameras on the television or motion
picture set and to other production details.
Many multi-media artists model objects in
three dimensions by computer and work with programmers to make those images move.
The Work Environment. Many artists work in fine art or
commercial art studios located in office
buildings, warehouses, or lofts.
Others work in private studios in their homes.
Some fine artists share studio space, where they also may exhibit their work.
Studio surroundings usually are well lighted and ventilated; however,
fine artists may be exposed to fumes from glue, paint, ink, and other
materials and to dust or other residue from filings,
splattered paint, or spilled cleaners and other
fluids. Artists who sit at drafting tables or who use computers for extended periods may
experience back pain, eyestrain, or fatigue.
Artists employed by publishing companies, advertising
agencies, and design firms generally work a standard workweek.
During busy periods, they may work overtime to meet deadlines.
Self-employed commissioned artists can set their own hours depending on the project and when the commissinor needs the project finished.
They may spend much time and effort selling their artwork to potential
customers or clients and building a reputation as they do in producing the art its self.
This places them in a whole category by them selves as they are independent business executives.
Artists are highly skilled disciplined producers of,br> all that we see or hear in the world.
They are creators.
Even God is a Creator.
