We all know that artists generally see the "deeper" side of life, but is this all the time, or only when they choose, such as in the process of creating the art? Is the regular person incapable of seeing, or for the most part understanding what the artist sees? Is the artistic perception a part of every person that just needs exercise to be accessed? How do you truly know if you are an artist?
These are my general questions, which of course lead into many others.
I think my answer to your other question also sheds some light here.. science is discovering that regular people are incapable of accessing their right brain (which is used in novel and creative thinking) as much as people with schizotypal personalities. It’s not a choice, it is a personality trait.. as far as science has been able to determine it is also genetic. http://www.livescience.com/health/050907_schizotype_creative.html

lol what is this "deeper" side of life???? just because artists can create beauty doesn’t necessarily mean they know better.
unless artists include theoretical physicists.

Most "artists" have deep feelings and use whatever medium they prefer to express themselves.
I feel like if it’s there, it’s there. You don’t just become an artist because you want to feel cool and independent. You just have the passion and love for whatever it is you do. You do it for yourself.
Idk if that makes sense…
