Qualities of a Good Artist

A good artist must have three qualities. First, they must have abundant imagination and creativity. Artists are people who create a surreal world through their art works. They gain inspirations form their life, experiences, environment, and then transfer their feelings into a piece of work via imagination and creativity. Therefore, it is very important for them to have imagination and creativity. For example, a famous musician Chopin who composed a piece called ‘‘raining day ’’, he imagined the connection between musical melody and ‘‘raining sounds ’’ first, then give some ‘‘ hints ’’ in his piece to make audience understand what he wants to say in his art work.

Second, they must have sensibility. They always notice something that most people ignore, and feel things more than other people. If they do not have sensibility, they will not find the inspirations to make art works. For instance, when artists see a tree, they are not only looking the outfit of a tree. They feel it, and think themselves as a tree,and become sentimental.

Third, they must have perseverance. Artists face a lot of difficulties and challenges, so perseverance keeps them improving themselves and don’t give up too easily. For instance, the famous painter Van Gogh has strong perseverance. He didn’t get reputation during his lifetime, but he kept making his art work and never gave up. Now, people understand his work and finally realize he is such a artist.

To sum up, a good artist must have imagination, creativity, sensibility, and perseverance. Although it is very difficult to be a good artist, being a artist is still full of happiness.
