Ielts Essay - Creativity Who's domain is it?

Art, in various manifestations, has always intrigued humans, and over the ages, several masterpieces have been created. But to whom does art really belong; is it a realm of naturally talented people, or is it accessible by everyone.

Art, in any form is a true domain of people with natural inclinations, as they are very sensitive when it comes to observing. They also have an inborn trait of conceptualizing the scenario, surroundings and underlying aspects; and interpreting them in a tangible and understandable form. The works produced by natural artists have the capacity to mesmerize even those with little understanding of creative work. Art is actually an intense, but deeply embedded feeling connected to human emotions which is otherwise very hard to elucidate  if not provided with a proper medium of expression. These complex feelings can only be effectively and beautifully interpreted in tangible forms by those with innate traits.

Moreover, naturally gifted people have the ability to produce masterpieces that greatly influence the psyche of the society. People with a natural quality to produce creative work are the ones who set trends, while others just follow. This has been proven in the past, for instance, people like William Shakespeare did not only write plays but influenced the society with his revolutionary work.

However, arts is not an intellectual property of talented people since every human is full of feelings and aspirations, and they have a right to express them in some creative way if they wish to by learning how to do it. This fact is clearly illustrated by mushrooming schools of arts that train people in various forms of arts; consequently, many have been able to churn out masterpieces.   

To conclude, even though art can practiced by anyone, only the one created by the naturally talented artists stand apart and is admired by millions of followers.
