Thorb, artists do not change their ideas often, I wish it was true.
The IDEA is what drives them... they may change the approch, the way to espress themselves, the mean to show the idea. If they did, they would create art every day.
Interior Design is not art... it has a program, you do something for someone else, not youself.
Art, is expression of feelings, it's obsession... not all have it. .


Tramp ... read my profile and go to my websites ..... I am an artist as far as I can tell .... so don't try to tell me what artists do.....I don't do interior design .... except on a personal level
I do exterior design installations .... in the forest mostly [yes its an obsession of sorts]

If you never change your ideas ... you are stagnant and don't research and basicly will never learn anything new. Good artists do change .... example #1 Picasso .... go study his work.

good luck.

Art is life ... life is art ...in a conceptual kenetic installation sculptural way.
And mistakes are the creators.

I am in awe of talent…. whatever its form. And appreciative of the tremendous effort it takes to create something from nothing.

Creative people bring a different level of awareness to life… they tend to make more interesting connections and are more observant. That is such a turn-on!

...i have always been able ta draw an write poetry, but i am just now realizin that art can be expressed in other ways..yet when i look back at alotta my past relationships, they were with guys who didn't really care about art ....hmmm...mebbe tha's why they didn't work out.

As an artist, I have found that I do seem to attract non arty guys. The problem with that, is that it feels as if they want some vicarious creativity from me. Then they start telling me what I 'should' paint, or turning their nose up at a piece because I have not incorporated their 'suggestions', because its what they want to see me paint, so they can take credit for the idea (I have experienced this first hand!) I am all for helping and encouraging someone creatively, but not being a puppet for their ideas, I have enough of my own!
There is no getting away from the fact that creative people do have a different view of the world, and are more emotional generally, but not exclusively compared to non creative types. I do not have to be with an artistic guy, but at least one who does not expect me to be the 'interesting' one in a relationship.

I believe that art is extremely personal, almost intimately so. One of the differences between artists and others is that their art is not only their work and livelihood, but it's a part of them, like exposing their souls through their medium. And it's visible to others to see and appreciate or criticize. Most people's work is not that widely exposed or visible.
It takes more than an ounce of courage to expose your inner self to people's critiques, so I admire all those who do, whether their particular art appeals to my taste or not. I like to think about what was in the artist's head and heart as they were creating.
I personally have always found creative individuals fascinating, interesting people.

Thats a good thread as it happens. I was talking with a work pal just yesterday on a similar thing.

He is very artistic and I am very creative but we are both sensual ppl too, and I said that I need to be with someone like myself who is all of the similar things I am.

I find in my opinion that 2 ppl on the same wave length have a very intimate relationship and very sensuous, and share a varied and interesting life together.

As for the difference of feeling it is definatly there, a much more erm.....how to say...erotic and exploring type of love, and a total ease between 2 ppl.

I find arty types and creative types sooooooooo interesting, and what they can do with the mind and their hands on paper or canvas and bodies amazing, and such a turn on.

The best artwork I ever have laid eyes on is right on my refrigerator door. Anything born out of love from one to another no matter what the age of the artist is pure art in its absolute and unrivaled form.

I think I stated this more or less in an earlier entry...Be careful...being with an artist can be fun, given their unpredictibility factor(s)... but there's loads of issues and inconveniences that go with that package!

Do people who are artistically talented, tend to seek out relationships with other artistic people?

I am artistically inclined. I am a mosaic artist, and have some of my artworks in a giftshop , but in no way is this my sole means of income. I do not seek out artistic people for relationships. I seek out kind caring honest etc etc etc ... if they happen to be artistic that is a bonus !


Does a creative person feel that they have more in common, with another creative person?

I think I would answer a yes to this . Lets say I'm working on a special piece and I want a suggestion or advice on where to take it next . I would think that responces from someone artistically inclined would be more helpful to me than from someone not artistically inclined.


Does an artist feel they'd be better understood, or their talents more appreciated by another artist?

No , most anyone who see's my art is usually impressed with it wether they are artistically inclined or not. But I do have to say that many who are not artistically inclined do not realize how much time and effort goes into each piece.


Artistic people:
Do you intentionally seek out other artistic/creative people?

Not specifically , no.


Have you had relationships with artistic and/or non-artisic people? and did you notice a difference in compatability between the two?

I have not had a romantic relationship with another artistically inclined person , (but think it could be very very interesting if it happened), and thus can not comment on differences in compatibility.

1.Yep, It helps us to feel understood. But any good artist will never be understood in their lifetime, so it's pointless.
2.Obviously, we share the creativity.
3.No, actually, other artists tend to be hypercritical, and focus on the trees and miss the forest. It is the untrained, naked mind that is best able to interpret art, as they come into it with no understanding of what it should be, but she it for what it is.
4.Yep, I need people to jam with!
5. Yes and yes, compatability was more of an issue with personality, not artistic ability IMAO.
I'm a musician by trade, amongst other things. Some people like musicians, some don't. To some it is a taboo thing, the whole rockstar persona, traveling around having sex with everybody. To others that same thing repulses them. Isn't dating wonderful?

Well to be honest with you....it never mattered to me if the person I was dating was artistic or not...I am a poet in the process of being published, and the majority of the women I have dated were'nt "creative"..at least not to my knowledge...to me it does'nt matter if they are or are'nt....like the saying goes "you be you, and I'll be me"..."you do your thang, and let me do mines"....I kind of like the idea of dating someone who is creative but it is not mandatory for me to be happy with them either...

reading through this thread, a few people mentioned that everyone is artistic in some way. That's possibly true. But I think there's still a difference between the people who stand out as being artisic, and the other people in the world (who may each have some small shred of their own talent)

I think bucsgirl, explained it best in post 252,
One of the differences between artists and others is that their art is not only their work and livelihood, but it's a part of them, like exposing their souls through their medium. And it's visible to others to see and appreciate or criticize. Most people's work is not that widely exposed or visible.

I think it is this particular aspect that sets the artist apart from the common person. It's also one of the reasons I'd consider a creative person to be fascinating.

It would be nice to find another artistic/creative person. The person I dated for the longest period of time was also artistic.

I just read this, in a report on personalities, and I decided that it likely pertains to this thread


Modern psychologists still agree that people tend to come in four
basic types, but they attribute these differences to our brain structure
combinations, or overall temperament, rather than a difference related
to body fluids or pure instincts. Each of us is born with a tendency
for his or her brain to grow in a certain way, and with a tendency
to be better at certain tasks than others. People who have
brains that are wired similarly tend to share similar psychological
themes and values, and thus tend to be drawn to certain roles and
career paths in life.
Thinking about your friends, family, and colleagues in terms of
their character type is interesting because it allows you to quickly
get an understanding of their preferred role and social interaction
style. Each character type has a special talent to offer to society.
When big companies put together work task teams, they often include
at least one of each character type, so that the team composition
is well-rounded. In the section that follows you will learn more
about the four different character types and which role your personality
fits best.

The Four Temperaments
The Idealist
Idealists are the type of people who live in a dream world of
thoughts and hopes for a better future. They are the teachers,
philosophers, and counselors of the world. They have a strong moral
and ethical side, and they are often day-dreaming. They are imaginative,
people-centered, and caring. Their role in society: to inspire,
teach, and counsel. Their biggest strength: their sensitivity and their
imagination. Their primary thinking modes: intuitive-feeling. Mahatma
Gandhi and Eleanor Roosevelt are examples of idealists.

The Artist
Artists are the type of people who always need to have something
in their hands. They are the entertainers, performers, and craftspeople
of the world. They are daring, seek new sensations, and like to
use their talents to make an impact on others. They are always busy.
Their role in society: to create and entertain, to make the world a
more interesting place. Their biggest strength: their focus on the
'here and now', their ability to improvise, and their 'just do it, don't
think about it' attitude. Their primary thinking modes: sensing-perceiving.
Elvis Presley, Amelia Earhart, and Ernest Hemingway are
examples of artists.


The Protector
Protectors are the type of people who are practical and down-toearth.
They are the guardians, providers, and administrators of the
world. They are logical and clear-minded. They pride themselves
in being reliable and accurate, and place a high value on trust and
loyalty. Their role in society: to maintain standards, take charge,
and keep life running smoothly. Their biggest strength: they stick
to their word, are clear-minded, and can be counted on. Their primary
thinking modes: sensing-judging. Mother Teresa, Queen
Elizabeth II, and George Washington are examples of protectors.

The Thinker
Thinkers are the type of people who are always asking questions.
They are the inventors, engineers, and re-arrangers of the world.
They trust in logic and reason, yet value creativity. They don't care
much about other people's opinions. Their role in society: to come
up with strategies, inventions, plans, and ways of rearranging reality.
Their biggest strength: their ability to connect facts in unique ways.
Their primary thinking modes: intuitive-thinking. Albert Einstein,
Marie Curie, and Walt Disney are examples of thinkers.



Artists are known for asking 'Where?'. They want to
know where the action is so that they can be there and help to
sculpt it.
Protectors are known for asking 'What and when?'.
They want to keep things regulated. Thinkers are known for
asking 'How?'. They want to figure out how things work. Idealists,
however, are known for asking 'Who?'. They are most
concerned about how decisions and actions affect people.

The artistic and creative people being refered to in the opening post of this thread, are likely people who fit the temperament refered to as "Artist"

Okay lol, all I have to say here is just because someone is right brain-dominant doesn't mean they still don't use parts of their left hemisphere. Vice Versa. I mean okay the math thing may be out for some artists but hello unless an alien came and took away their left hemisphere (or they had a stroke or brain injury) they are still using that side for stuff. Like writing, speech. language, etc.

In classically trained musicians their Corpus Callosum (which connects both hemispheres) is larger then non-musicians, this is what helps them coordinate both hands in playing instruments as the 2 hemispheres must communicate rapidly.

This must be why I suck at learning guitar..............hello boyfriend with guitar skills lol where are you?

Oh and as for the personality temperaments it is not all black and white, an artist/non-artist can be parts of all four temperaments previously listed, and yaddah ya.

I think it is just really important for an ARTIST to find someone who has a PERSONALITY (that doesn't grate on their last nerve). LMAO

Artistic people:

Have you had relationships with artistic and/or non-artisic people? and did you notice a difference in compatability between the two?

I've been a drummer in bands for 23 years give or take (LEFTY at that). I do NOT choose my partner on CREATIVE basis's alone. That would make me a very shallow individual. I choose my partner for MULTIPLE reasons. Examples: intelligence, wisdom, sense of humor (usually a must), sense of CALM (we artists sometimes need quiet, calm and solitude....just room to breath), artists need time to think; contemplate, artist also need emotional stimulation like happiness, happiness is a hard emotion to convey when your art revolves around general emotional resonance. we need to be possitively stimulated to function properly. i do notice artistic incompatabilities but stabilizing my emotions is more prudent than hooking up with someone who is EXACTLY like me. but beware because an artist can become so manic that his/her emotions out weigh their meaningful relationship sadly. In other words good SEX & COMMUNICATION (FAME) is a MUST to achieve high standards that artists expect in a relationship. We are after all lone MARTYR's for the seemingly disfunctional society we live in.

in reading some of the posts here, i can only answer for myself.

i agree that a creative person has many areas in which to put/use their creativity. there are urges that must be done, must have an outlet....

i enjoy being with a creative person. we just seem to "talk" the same way; a comfortable feeling. a feeling where you do not have to explain, yet again, where that came from or how you got to that point...

i have had bf's that weren't artistic BUT were supportive. i have had those that were not suppportive. give me those that are!!! supportivness-a key to ANY good relationship.

i am a left/right brain thinker. i am in the creative part of my brain, yet i can be logical and analytical. THAT is where i have diffuculties with finding "the one" (do they exist? oh that's another post-sorry)

katte- keep on keeping on

I tend to gravitate towards the exact opposite of myself..non artistic. Maybe that is why I am single again.

Things that they find "cute" and "adorable" in the beginning...like my having 5-6 different projects going at once....end up driving them nuts.

But in the same breath that I like the grounding that someone non-creative/artistic gives me...it helps to have someone who can reign you in once in awhile.

Most if not all of my friends are artistically talented. One of my best friends is first a numbers person, then musically inclined a beautiful artist, who knows I feel like it is important to look at the character of a person, and do they match with your charactor? Are the morals and values the same? Is there a give and take and an understanding of one anothers feelings and opinions? That is all so important. An interesting book and a new way for myself to precieve art not just in the physical form, but life as a form of art. "The everyday work of art, awakening the etraordinary in your daily life. Eric Booth? For me there needs to be a balance too much obsession will drive us over the edge.

My being, my entire state of mind is drawn to the experience of emotional and affective expression. When I come across that side of the population that is moulded differently, I find it intriguing.

With work, I find that mingling with uncreative individuals is great, as we complement each other well. They respond with reason, and I with gut. And in friendships, they get to the point, while I keep twisting the point into a coma. In the end, we find ourselves aiming at our target – dead on.

But when it comes to love, if my partner isn’t creative, curious and stirred by emotional states of being as I am, I would ache deeply. How could I possibly express my artistic side, my deepest wants and desires without an openness on the other end?

I need that opening, one I can draw from and feed into, or I would shrivel up and die.

I have found that I at least need someone who understands my compulsion to write. They don't have to like it or participate in it. Just let me DO it! I think other artistic people tend to "get" that.

And it is always nice to be able to share beauty with. Especially art museums. Someone who can take there time and not look at their watch wondering when they can go watch wrestling.
