exceptional artistic ability is definitely a sign of inteligence, finti. It takes considerable intelligence to produce a great work of art - there are many facets one has to master in order to produce a great art piece - composition, light effects, pose, creativity, originality, proportion, etc. That's why they talk of artistic genius.

Thanks PeterKSL, you sound quite bright too.

its a skill, dont have to be intelligent to produce art. They produce what they see, as for light composition that is something they learn, protportion aint all that either a lot of tricks there

You are right - you don't have to be intelligent to produce art, BUT you HAVE to be intelligent to produce great art. Why do you think there are good and bad artists? Moreover, an exceptional skill requires intelligence. Have you ever seen agreat artists with the IQ of a retard?

Why do you think there are good and bad artists?
cause some artist sucks at what they do, they dont have the necessary skill to produce art, as for great art thats a matter of opinion. Some might find a piece of art great while another think it sucks again doesnt have to do with intelligence it has to do with skill.

Have you ever seen agreat artists with the IQ of a retard?
I wasnt talking about retards, I was tallking about that artist doesnt nesseceraly need to be highly intelligent to produce art, big diffrence there

You don't get my point - GREAT skill DOES require intelligence.

"Have you ever seen agreat artists with the IQ of a retard?"

There was a self proclaimed "great artist/genius" on this site a while back named Philosophicas who, as far as I could gather, had the IQ of a french fry.

GREAT skill DOES require intelligence.
no it doesnt, it only requires that YOU HAVE A SKILL in what you do, whether it is a great skill is a matter of opinion. A lot of people think Edvard Munch was a great artist, I think his stuff sucks, personally I dont find any of his works above mediocre

Familiarity... nothing more to say...

Wow, subtle burn there Backfire! 😆

People are smart in different ways. Just because you're not a rocket scientist or in an equivlant profession doesn't make you dumb. For example, a rocket scientist may know the chemical formula of rocket fuel, but I'm pretty sure this same scientist wouldn't know how to farm. There are so many different kinds of smart. Not everyone can be smart in everything.
