I find it very interesting when we define ourselves or others as "artists" or "non-artists". I personally fall much more on the belief that we're all artists in some way! We all as humans have a huge drive to be creative and create something that expresses how we feel. Some of us have "it" and are regarded for some reason as "artists" while other don't have "it" and are regarded as something less. Isn't this the opposite of what we teach our kids? When children draw with crayons, we praise them for their effort and work regardless of their skill! We praise their creative little minds despite the squiggles. But sometime we "grow up" and suddenly some people are artists, and others are simply something else. Come on now, if it's creating something from the mind, in any way expresses one's emotions, and pleases the one who created it, it is art! It may not get 10 views, or it may get 500. It may not sell, or it may go at auction for $5000. What others think doesn't matter. It's still art!
