[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 158353, member: 1296"]As an unprofessional [I]everything[/I] and an amateur artist-ish person I'd say: [B] Valuable art [/B]is socially acclaimed. [B]Good art[/B] is captivating, mood-invoking, even hypnotizing in itself at large. Both can create anything However, [B]A trained artist[/B] hopefully has a better understanding of the technical side of creating, such as scale and colour worlds and their effect on the subconscious mind. They also have a trained eye to spot things that look pleasing to most people. A trained artist is not necessarily a great artist either. [B]An amateur[/B] might be mostly intuitive, or in some cases unoriginal in the way they go on about creating. The goal for them is more important than the way to it and that may show in the end result. They are less organized, less established. An amateur is not a master. Why do I keep answering these art questions?[/QUOTE]
