Topic: Is everyone an artist?
$^{(1)}$
When we admire works like *Mona Lisa* or *Sunflowers*, we recognise them as art right away. But what about a student’s drawing in class, or a friend’s photo shared online? Is that art too? To me, art is anything creative. I enjoy visiting galleries and museums, but I am also keen on drawing portraits of my friends. Perhaps I’m not good at it, but I enjoy the time making it. What really matters is how art makes me feel when I create it — and how my drawing can brighten someone’s day.

I enjoy going to art museums. Why? Because I appreciate high - quality art. Art is not like the drawings of young children or just portraits painted in bright colours. Some people believe that anything creative and cool can be considered art, but I disagree. True art is the result of creativity, skill and hard work. For example, my uncle showed a gift for art when he was a child. He became an artist after spending eight years studying art. Now his sculptures are often displayed in galleries. Creating art is challenging work, and it requires both talent and time.
