Reply to comment by lifeaintsocool in LPT: Art cannot be taught. It has to be embraced, lived, and learned, and comes from within. Anyone who advertises dance, music, or painting/drawing lessons is probably scamming you. You cannot teach passion. by [deleted]

Art is not skill based.

The skill is a byproduct of talent.

Those who can, do. Those who can't still try.

Look up the definition of art. You'll find that skills/imagination are a requirement for art but talent is not. Don't have to answer but are you an artist?

Musician.

Are you the best musician? Do you always bring your best talent and passion when you perform? Do you perform with musicians who aren’t as talented as you? More talented?

Is it art when an elementary school band performs Hot Cross Buns?

How about back to John Cage? Was he an artist knowing when NOT to play?

No, yes, yes, yes.

Yes.

Minimalism is an art form in and of itself. I don't know who John Cage is. I think he was dope in Mortal Combat IIRC.

Once you’ve finished your first year of university, you’ll know who John Cage was.
