Don't only practice your art,
but force your way into its secrets,
for it and knowledge can raise men to the Divine. -- Ludwig van Beethoven
Art needs discipline and persistence. There are many talented people whose talent will wither within them because they lack discipline and persistence. Encourage your children or grandchildren to be creative. The young mind is capable of so much in a spirit of nurture and support.

Hello Mark, I completely agree with you about the need for discipline in the pursuit of creativity. It is not enough to have raw talent. Unless one works and hones his/her skills creative expression is severely hampered. Talent and work results in beautiful music and fine art.
