Here is our second episode
of the Art Alchemy Podcast. This time we are exploring the idea of talent and
ask 'Is it a Myth?'
Can we cultivate creativity
and artistic practice or is it only available to those born with innate talent?
Highlighting various perspectives, including personal experiences and the impact of encouragement in early life, we advocate for the idea that everyone can learn to paint or engage in creative endeavours, regardless of their starting skill level.
Our conversation also covers the psychological barriers that prevent individuals from pursuing art, such as fear of judgement and comparison. We believe that developing your own creativity is available to all and has an impact on personal growth. By learning to tap into the enjoyment in the creative process your art will improve.
Let us know what you think and please leave your suggestions on what you'd like us to chat about?
