Yes, another, this time by Humphrey Bower: while everyone is at least in principle capable of imagining, contemplating, creating, playing or watching others play – and by extension enjoying or even making art – it doesn’t follow that everyone is an artist (or a critic). Alongside a heightened capacity for imagination or creativity – which may or may not also manifest itself as a particular talent or gift for a specific activity like drawing, writing, singing, dancing, playing an instrument or even looking and listening – becoming an artist requires time, effort and discipline in the acquisition of skills, technique, knowledge and experience; and perhaps even the development of a personal vision. This is a far cry from simply being ‘imaginative’ or even ‘creative’. artshub.au/news-article/opinions-and-analysis/trends-and-analysis/creativity-does-not-equal-being-an-artist-246900
