I suppose it would depend on your definition of artistic.
I was never very good at 'drawing' in art class... but then, sitting still wasn't my "forte". It wasn't until later years... when I tried again, and focused that I realized that I could draw. Not the greatest, but I can.
My artistic tendencies were in a different direction. I took several years of dancing classical ballet and jazz ballet. Won dance contests. I LOVE writing and have been complimented many times upon my skills with a pen, and have been published. I love music, and have 'piano fingers' and used to dabble at piano and guitar (learning by ear) as I just couldn't pay attention long enough to learn how to read music. It drove my music teacher mad :lol: I used to be able to sing rather well (until I bruised my chords and then took up smoking...) but I don't cause pain now if anyone should hear me singing while housekeeping (in fact, have been teaching my eldest..).
I was 'top' of my hairdressing class, and earned tops also for make up artistry. I was a makeup artist for a small, local, drama troup.
Friends over the years, have often asked for my input on a variety of things: fashion, home decor, help writing something, makeup, hair.....repeatedly saying how I often have brilliant ideas and a flare.. (just wish I had the budget to add that same flare to my own household ROFL)
I have ALWAYS sucked at things like: math, geography, remembering dates (history), science (although I loved science, I stunk at it), and that sort of stuff.
So in short... I believe I'm an artisitic individual, with ecclectic interests. I love to experiment and play. I love for things to be 'original' and hate when everything is the 'same'. I'm just not as talented with a brush or pencil as some, and have to work at it.
Is that an answer to your question?
