    My summary while listening It is believed that artistic talents often come naturally for some individuals than others. In fact, some artists behave differently, often in a very strange way. According to Dr. Rebecca Chamberlain, a researcher, artists seem to process the visual world in a different way compared to non-artists. Actually, they tend to take a global approach when observing surroundings with little fixation on objects. Another expert named Mike, he believes that artistic abilities can be learned. There was a student of him who can’t draw at all but learning tips from him, the students were able to draw better. Therefore, drawing is something trainable which requires time and effort to improve.

    I agree. This is a very debatable topic. People have mainly two types of opinion about it. It is more like the debate of nature or nurture. But I believe it really depends on individuals. You know, the fathers of Mozart and Picasso both knew arts. So this DNA and also the environment together greatly contributed to their successes in the very young age. So, they both had the nature and the nurture elements. Thus, they were who they were. For many people, either we lack one factor, or the other. It is those who luckily have both at the same time and then become prodigies and successful personalities later on in their careers. So, I believe their brains are different with ours! 😃

    I think yes, it is. Brain of all the human is kind of similar. However artistic people have another way of thinking i guess. They think differently from another people. The way they solve the problem is not like other's. Sometimes people say that artistic people have more depression and sadness. They will feel more miserable if something happens. Artistic people are people who has occupation like cook, interpreter and actor. I think this is such an interesting topic. Thanks😊

    Is this a joke? One opinion is from a scientist, the other from a self-taught artist whose artwork we can't evaluate because no full name is given. How about you talk to properly trained artists (several) and scientists who do brain scans, data analysis, etc. It is pretty clear that really good artists' brains are different in how they process visual info.
