Art for everybody? The issue of the talent and genius has been a subject of a great interest for centuries. I agree with those who say that creativeness can be learned and developed as meny other skills. However, some feel that only people marked with divine touch can create Art which begins with capital letter A. In this essay I will examine both sides and substantiate my opinion. Regarding those who do not believe that we all can be creators there are many reasons. For example, they notice how low is a ratio of successful artists among legions of those who had only a hot desire without talent. How many centuries have gone, exclaim they, but have you ever seen a new Leonardo?! Additionally, they mention their own inability to paint, to sing and to invent something absolutely new. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that this point if view is poorly grounded. As far as I'm concerned, we all born to be creators. Child's desire to explore the world and create new things is so immense, that many of them continue despite mistrust and mockery of surrounding. Unfortunately, public opinion and modern educational system do not encourage young people to develop creativity. In my view, this situation partly related with needs of the industrial period, when society required rather laborers then painters and musicians. The world is changing, but these systems have a great inertia. Indeed, establishing establishing a new direction in art is not possible for everybody. This requiers a certain boldness and readiness to sacrifice ofr own dream. Nonetheless, create something new, get pleasure from artistic activity, put a part of own personality into painting, music or text - this is possible for any person who have enough determination and work ethic. To sum up, my strong belief is that art is available for anybody. I hope that in the future more people will be able to express themselves this way.
