I would say that an artist is someone who creates just for the fun of it. Because they enjoy it. Not necessarily because it looks beautiful, or it inspires awe in people's minds. It is like they are in a "Zone" where they can create things of beauty. The only time I've ever experience something like that is when I first started programming. I made my first game in c++, and I was in that zone the whole time, cause time just flew by and I paid no attention to anything else other than the computer.
I don't think I classify as an artist. I play the guitar for fun and make up rhythms and what not, but I don't think that qualifies. That programming is all I've done.
Whenever I get caught up in a creativity streak, I can always envision the finished product looking like a masterpiece, but it doesn't quite come out like that. I guess you could say that I've got the vision, but no gift.
