Artistry

We've just been talking about "Artistry", what it is, who has it, how do you get it? I think it's a bit like, maybe a wee bit lower than "genius", which is a hard-to-define but easy-to-spot extra something. Not many people have posted their comments yet on the forum, but so far two of us agree it's something that comes with time and experience, you're not born with it. But then, in some other realms, maybe you can be. I thought of a video we were shown last year in class. I think this guy has artistry, and one could argue although he put a lot of time and work into it, he was also born with a special something that the next guy didn't get. Talent, perseverance, passion, commitment etc. He's only young, but I don't think that takes away from his artistry. If not all experts automatically gain artistry (not the automatic linear process from novice to expert), then maybe artistry lies on a totally different plane/scale/spectrum to the other "stages". Anyway, I'm putting up this video with an interview cut into the celebrity stunt one. Enjoy!
