About This Quote
It is an acquired skill which requires many years to master and may be easily forgotten in the end. Art requires a deep commitment to learn, practice and become proficient in its creation. Sometimes, art can even seem like a chore. This quote speaks to the idea that anyone can make art.
Art is not something exclusive to a few people with special gifts. It is something that anyone can learn and develop. Anyone can create art and make things beautiful when they put their mind and heart into it and put in the time and effort to do so.
