art principles 2010-2011: Reflecting on Picasso quote.

art principles 2010-2011: Reflecting on Picasso quote.: "Today we read this quote by Pablo Picasso: 'Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.' On your blog..."

It seems what Picasso is trying to stress is that all kids have massive creativity. What he's communicating makes a lot of sense to me because in my mind, we, the students of Ms. Robert's art class and art classes all over the world, are the theoretical kids. As we grow up, our creativity is stifled with manners and assimilation into adult society. Picasso is saying that true artists keep the spark of creativity handed to them at birth, and use it to make a metaphorical fire: the art we recognize as masterpieces.
