It is a question that I think about often as it relates to both interior and fashion design, and have concluded
that it can be both an inherent gift and a learned skill. Recently Annie ,
a friend of my daughters, supported this theory. Annie was
given the task of constructing
a sculptural piece out of white paper bags.
The inspiration…a skeleton.
Here
is what this fabulously creative and incredibly talented teenager created with her inherent talent and the support of her Art Studio instructor.
She should be a contestant on Project Runway don't you think!!!

Yes she should! That is amazing!!!
You are kidding me!!?? (I had to scroll back a dozen times). What a creative lady, Annie is! This is art. (I hope the local newspaper got to cover it).
Happy weekend to you dear Tricia.

Absolute talent...Look at the lines and the structure of the dress!
I love how she translated the given task of using the skeleton as a creative starting point!
Amazing!

Yes, I do think so. That is about the coolest thing I've ever seen done with or without paper bags. Kudos for her!

Very cool dress!! I love how Annie even incorporated the handles into the design :-)
I think design talent is something that we're born with AND that we learn as we go along. The talent to create amazing designs is there, and we learn how to and ways to use that talent from our environment and the people and world around us.
Annie obviously has the talent to design beautiful dresses -- her instructor helped her to see how she could use her talent to take something as ordinary as bags and create something beautiful :-)
Thank you for helping to spread the word about Matt's Art for Life Campaign in so many different ways!! We really appreciate it, and I know Matt does too :-)
Good luck in our giveaway!!

Wow this is amazing!
What a piece of art. Hope she didn't get too many paper cuts!
I agree with your theory of inherent vs learned. I would add a third dimension to it and that is that one can 'mature into it'.. Now I realize that makes me seem really old (I am not) but I really think that life experience and general maturity can have a lot to do with skill as well. I guess this would be a combination of having been born with a skill that has to develop through learning.
