I am 9/10, but I comment on the other part of this thread. I am different because I am an artist, not an artist becuse I am different. Because of all the training I enjoyed as a very small child, I became an artist, not because I had any unique qualities. I just needed to make money! Drawing did that for me.
It is a symptom of an uneducated (in art) society that we have so relatively few artists. Many more people could be artists if they were trained as I was as a very small child. Is art a gift, or is it something that can be learned? Is that the criteria of being "different?" I believe it can be learned. It stands to reason that if you do not teach someone math, they will not become mathematicians. Isn't it the same with art?
