Nonsense. Of course people can learn to be creative and can develop aesthetic sensibilities (how to “see”). Babies are not creative and they don’t have a good sense for design. Ergo, you learned it and that means someone else can too. It might be challenging and require some sustained effort and studying with a mentor who can show you how, but it is most definitely not impossible.
I can play guitar. Took some lessons as a teenager, even had a small garage band. I can't play like say Eddie Van Halen, never could, never will. I don't have what it takes. I can admit that.
My mother played piano. As a kid I remember her sitting down and playing boogie woogie, eight to the bar. Base hand playing the melody while the other crashes out the verse. Very hard to do. She was good, but she was no piano virtuoso playing at Carnegie Hall.
It's also possible to win the lottery, I know people that have played it for decades....need I say more?
"to be creative"
"develop aesthetic sensibilities"
"good sense for design"
Book learning, video learning and practical application are two different things. You may LEARN those things by watching or reading but application at a high level requires talent, and that is what seperates those that can
DO it and those that can
RECITE it. Thats what I'm talking about. Show me what you learned, not you specifically. I mean if a person is going to argue for all this knowledge that I would think there could be some practical application shown.
If some, and there have been many in this thread, have really learned something from watching people do this shit on the internet then go buy a 10.00 dollar juniper and apply 5.00 dollars worth of wire and take a picture three hours later of something really worthy of what you learned.
I haven't watched a single video and I'm going to do just that...just for myself.
who's up for the challenge?
