Skill is the ability to do something well, especially because you have practiced it. Skill turns creativity into art. Skill can be learnt. Talent alone is not enough.
There are 2 photos this week and a website to see.
A dish woven from stripped telephone wire, made this century:
And an 1863 detail from an etching by Sir Joseph Noel Paton, from his many illustrations of the Ancient Mariner poem by Coleridge. Here the mariner has killed the Albatross.
A third example of skill, this time in the use of colour and form, is in a 1922 water colour by Paul Klee called A Young Lady's Adventure. Click here and type in the name of the painting.
All, in my opinion, highly skilled!
