Many can do the same. But the majority of artists seem to be drop outs, or failures at school. I blame the education system for that.

There's a strong correlation between creativity and art. I suppose simply saying "Art" is far too broad of a term for this type of discussion. Visual arts is a very significant part of creativity. Visual arts is the ability to communicate an idea more than words ever could. Creativity begins to thrive when the thinker is able to communicate their ideas properly.

I blame the eduction system too, but I believe we're blaming it for different reasons. I'm blaming the system because creativity is shunned.

When you're referring to artists do you just mean someone who sits and draws? What is the point where you draw the line? If there is to be some cut off point I don't think that's something any single person can objectively decide.

I don't think there should be a limit to the creativity in our society. There's more jobs than every involving artistic talent and creativity. It roots into all industries. Look at the changes in advertising, brand recognition, technological advancements, diversity in fashion, architecture, and personalization. It's grown dramatically in the past few years.

If there wasn't a demand in the market place then so many wouldn't be perusing such career choices.
