The Homo Erectus did not have art- according to the mainstream Archaeology establishment. The dogma of the establishment is that art emerged in a Homo sapiens creative explosion around 35,000 years ago in Europe. This view is seen as Eurocentric and anthropocentric by proponents of an earlier date for art. However, recent finds are raising the possibility that art was produced by Homo erectus much earlier. The art is just in forms which are not quickly recognized by modern eyes.
In his book, "The Human Condition," (Springer Press, 2011) Robert Bednarik demonstrates that worldwide there is more Middle Paleolithic rock art than later Upper Paleolithic art, which contradicts the mainstream archaeological paradigms.

Neanderthals created tools, such as simple stone tools for cutting and hunting. They also used fire for cooking and warmth, and they created art, such as cave paintings and decorative items.
the early modern humans lived a farming lifestyle while the neanderthals still were nomadic people
The first hominids to create art were likely the species Homo erectus or Neanderthals, with evidence of artistic expression dating back at least 500,000 years ago. Some of the earliest examples of art include cave paintings, engravings, and sculptures. These artistic expressions indicate a capacity for symbolic thought and creativity in early human ancestors.
It is difficult to determine if neanderthals had specific hobbies as we understand them today. However, evidence suggests that they engaged in various activities such as making tools, creating art, and possibly caring for their dead, which may have been important aspects of their culture and daily life.
Evidence supporting the belief that Neanderthals developed a form of religion includes the discovery of deliberate burials with grave goods, possible ritualistic use of certain objects, and symbolic behaviors such as creating art. These findings suggest that Neanderthals had complex beliefs and practices related to death and the spiritual realm.

it is called the art of materilintasion which was discovered by the neanderthals
This is a tricky one to answer it depends on what you class as 'artist',after all the Neanderthals would paint scenes in caves it was classed as art so therefore the first artists would be Neanderthals.

The Neanderthals, of course. Cro-Magnon couldn't paint to save his life.
