Are you artistic or creative?

Are you artistic, or are you creative? Some would say they are neither. This has been the topic of conversation in my circles of friends. It is a debatable topic.

In my opinion, a person who is artistic is a person with specialized talent. An artist, can take a subject matter of their choice and render recognizable version of that subject matter in the medium of their choice.

A BEGINNER used a picture of a field of poppies and created this in glass

 A creative person can take that subject matter and re-create it in their own voice.

Can you be both? Yes!  Can you be neither?...HMMM, you may think so, but you would not be giving yourself enough credit for what you can do. It takes confidence to claim artistic and/or creative talent.
