Tiz Zaqyah : define artist

Saturn ascends....

‎"Artist"-the term describes those who create within a context of the fine arts or 'high culture', activities such as drawing, painting, sculpture, acting, dancing, writing, filmmaking, photography, and music—people who use imagination, talent, or skill to create works that may be judged to have an aesthetic value"- Wikipedia 

Tiz ada masalah dengan perkataan "artis" apabila digunakan dalam bahasa melayu.Sebab,selalu sangat perkataan yg kuat ini digunakan oleh kita,orang2 melayu, dlm konteks ayat2 sinis ,kritik dan lagi-lagi gosip,opposite of the english meaning and exclusivity 

.Secara tak langsung,perkataan "artis" menjadi satu "label" yg janggal dan cetek maknanya...

I see that often when related to gossips and controversial stuff are " Celebrity"/ties".
"Artistes" are finer,and reserved . Im proud to be one of the "artistes" , but embarrassed to be labelled "artis" in bahasa.  Tidak langsung dan ada langsung perlekahan terhadap Bahasa Malaysia kita yang kaya dan indah, tetapi, niat, cara dan matlamat individu masing masing.
Spread Love.

Interesting enough, Vincent van Gogh is an artist but never enjoyed the celebrity status, in fact, the world only recognize his body of work after his death. Salah guna terma 'artis' makes me wanna puke.
