你不认为最重要的事情是培养她的兴趣啊？多点儿时间为她会肯定读得很多书？可能她会玩儿多电脑游戏。画画培养她的创新思维。

Thank you very much, thank you for your suggestion. You are right, passion! passion is important. I should think carefully before making a decision.

Echo你好. I would say that a bit of both cannot hurt; however, in my opinion the most important ingredient for an artist is PASSION. In fact, we tend to be better when passion is involved... it can be in arts (danse, music, painting...), in sports, at work, in relation with each other... We cannot create a passionate artist, we can only nurture it, encourage it. Someone can become a very good piano player and at the same time have no interest for it. Then this person is a good technician, but without passion. I need to add the following: I am fully aware that my response is coming through my own cultural filter and may not quite fit in yours, but quite frankly, this is where exchange of ideas are the most interesting! Secondly, I was drawn to respond because I have seen too many people who were not allowed to pursue their passion; this often leaves a mark (regret, sadness, resentment...) which stays with them. Having a passion does not exclude success at school or at work! In fact, I strongly believe that it helps a person to have a more balanced approach to life and success in general. Lastly, if my comment helps you practice your English a bit more, then it is all for the best! Good luck with your family decisions. 再见
