7. IMPORTANCE
Artists are the most important members of the society because
they help us to envision our thoughts that may not be tolerated
in the social and political paradigm of our society.
"Art is the queen of all sciences communicating knowledge to
the generations of the world." (Leonardo da Vinci)

8. Artist Vs. Artisan
An artist is not an artisan, and vice-versa.
An artisan is a worker who practices a trade or a craft. It is
synonymous to craftsman. An artisan organizes themselves into
guilds, and these became prevalent during the Middle Ages.
Each guild had a specialization or trade, like shoemakers,
textiles, and glass workers, carpenters, carvers, masons,
armors, and weapon makers, among others.

12. Guilds were a type of social fellowship, an association
structured with rules, customs, rights, and responsibilities.
With a lifetime commitment to a particular trade, an artisan
develops immense skills and expertise in his craft. A master
artisan or craftsman would then be open to hiring apprentices
who would be under his tutelage and instruction. In these
guilds, artistry and technology flourished under one roof.

14. IMPORTANCE
Artisans through their skills make and install things that can be
used at homes, offices, and industries. Help fix things for
individuals, businesses, governmental and non-government
organizations.
Artisan services are sources of blue-collar jobs that can reduce
unemployment, poverty, and social vices. They enable people
who are not financially buoyant or academically sound to be
useful to themselves, their families and the society by learning
vocational and tehcnical skills.

15. WHAT IS THEIR
DIFFERENCE?

16. ARTIST VS ARTISAN
An artist is dedicated only to the creative side, making visually
pleasing work only for the enjoyment and appreciation of the
viewer, but with no functional value.
On the other hand, an artisan is essentially a manual worker
who makes items with his or her hands, and who through skill,
experience and talent can create things of great beauty as well
as being functional.
