What does it take to become a ‘good’ artist?

dshou:

But first, what makes an artist?

Some may answer, the quality of one’s artistic skills.

To some, the quantity or consistency of the artist to continue their line of work.

Others, the ability of the artist to contribute and/or communicate with the people around them.

All of the above I would consider, useful, of course it is to my opinion. Yet similarly, none is necessary.

An artist can live in the shadows, their skills untrained, and even then only create works at the times of a rare blue moon. Still, they can consider themselves an artist.

Their works may be modest, skill itself perhaps subjective in the world of creativity, and the process or creation may signify a deeper meaning no matter how personal it matters.

What would then constitute a ‘good’ artist, If an artist can take whatever path they wish to?

Just leave it to your own decision basically.
