:) Excellent points. My father once told me that he viewed truth as sitting in the center of a circle and all people sitting around it. We can all see some part of the truth but no one can see all of it without the help of the others. That's why I asked the question. To help be shown more of the truth than I could see by myself. Thank you both. I will say, however, that a person specializing in becoming excellent at something is not, to me, the same as someone who is copying an image. There is a difference...the art of the crafts is elegant and honorable and there is, in my mind, a huge difference between someone who has fine tuned a craft and someone who copies a picture; just as I would not place a fine photographer in the same league as a person tracing a mirrored image. A beautifully shaped bowl or a carved table with wonderful lines can be a piece of art; and a graphic can be not a piece of art. It's not what the item is that makes it art. There is something subtle a true artist brings to their work. I think creativity can be learned, but someone has to try and not take it for granted that tracing a picture from a movie still is the same as designing something fresh and bringing it to life in the mind's eye. The distinction may not exist. I'm still searching to be exact in what I mean. The search I do in words rather than illustrations, because in the white spaces between the words is the place for my mind to participate in the story or the poem. Too often, graphic designers leave no space for the audience. In drama, it is the silence between actors. That place where the audience fills the gap and makes the drama more than what it was without them. When something happens and the audience collectively gasps, you know that suddenly a roomful of minds have combined in a single creative participation. It is very powerful when minds find a way to touch each other. I just don't get that from most graphics. Perhaps it is from my own ignorance. I can accept that. I honor and respect your points, and I'm glad you shared them. Well done.
