How much credit does an artist deserve for directing and being the 'brain' of the piece but not actually making it?

  1. Well, Personally I think that he should not get credit for it because the other person who actually created the piece used his own imagination to convey the message especially when the message is personally relevant to the creator too . Its like watching a Youtube video on a technique that we struggle on and later on create an Amazing artwork using the Video publisher ideas and techniques,therefore should we say credit to the Video publisher. No. Because you were the one who created and the 'brain" of the artwork just used as an inspiration. You are the one who created it and the "brain" is just the supervisor.

    1. This is a really interesting point, I think that you need to be open minded towards this. Lots of professional artists get other people to do their work. Lots of art students work in the name of an artist. It gives people the opportunity to be involved in the professional world. It is seen as an opportunity a positive.

    2. I think that artists deserves all the credit in terms of creativity for example architects but on the other hand people always forget about the construction and how it is made. They tend to credit artists for the overall piece including the construction maybe constructers don't get as much credit as they should by the audience.

  2. 50/50 as I think the artist deserve credits for giving ideas and directing the process. So she/he might be bad with their handwork but without her ideas and instruction, that artwork won't be completed and the artist that is being directed and actually doing the physical job should also get credit as they used their skills to produce the artwork. Therefore both artist deserve credits equally as both contributed just in different ways.

  3. Now, because of the availability of education and training, there are so many people who have the skills to create something. Something that makes artists unique is what makes them different from other people's ideas.
    This idea of 'credit' depends on how much directing was done. For example with interior designing, if every single detail was planned by the designer then they should get the credit because they are utilizing people as a tool and not as the idea. However, if the directing was really general for example they told the team they wanted the room to be girly and pink, then it is up to the creators as to how they should interpret it, and how they bring it about, therefore, the creator deserves the credit, but they must reference to the designer for the idea.

  4. In the sense of being the 'brain' behind a piece, credit should go to every person who has contributed, directed and influenced the piece however ultimately credit should go to the person who chose and finalized the design/piece. But in a technical sense i think credit should be dispersed fairly on who showed the more sophisticated amount of artistic skill and who contributed the most.

  5. For me, both parties should get the credit because each parties of that particular field have put effort into the work. The reason why is because for example, there is the project on building something, the designer designs the plan for the building but what makes the building happens, is the people who are constructing and building are the people who will make the project happen. Both parties including the designer and the people making the building must all get the credit.

  6. The artist who directed or provided the idea of the piece deserves a credit because he was the first to come up with the idea. The people who constructed the piece would have been paid by the artist, and probably agreed to work for the artist for the money and not for getting his name on the piece. I don't think the credit goes to the person who constructed the piece but instead goes to the artist who have been the 'brain' of the piece.

  7. I think artist who is the 'brain' to the piece should get at least half of the credit. The artist who is the 'brain' of the piece often works as the leader and initiates the designing and planning of the piece. In a modern society, when the intention and purpose of a piece is getting more recognised compared to the technical abilities and skills, it is important that the artist gets acknowledged. I feel like personal connection is really significant, hence I believe that artists who just make the art pieces should receive less credit. However, it all really depends on how much the 'brain' artist has contributed towards the piece.

  8. Depending on how much credit they want, if an artist is the brain behind a piece but did not make it or want to make it then what value would it have to them.
