You're confusing art here with an innate ability for accurate graphic
representation--ie., the fact that some people are born with the talent
necessary to draw, paint, or sculpt an object realistically. That's not
art---that represents potential only---but it's mother nature's way of showing
you what you're wired to do--your move next!

Best wishes,
Joseph
