art - natural or learned?

The fact of the matter is that when you apply to art school your portfolio is required to largely consist of observational work. You can't disregard the ability to observe and reproduce with various media, because it is clearly accepted that this the foundation of any sort of professional art. This is true of anything. You can't teach someone to be a genius. All you can do is hone the aptitude that already exists and impart knowledge.

The definition of a "natural" at anything is not that he is at a professional level with little to no practice or education. Natural ability and education are not mutually exclusive. Being great involves both. But hard work can never make up for a lack of natural talent.
