An artist needs to have both vision and determination. A creative person has the ability to see objects and concepts in a way that other people do not. It takes determination to form these objects and ideas into pieces of art. Artists need to be driven to create art, instead of sitting on creative ideas and never doing anything about them. Through this drive an artist can gain the technical abilities that are needed to bring their concepts to life.
“Certainly you have your skills and your knowledge and you use it, and maybe there are many different ways to make an object, but you use the experience that you’ve had.” -Janine Antoni
Janine Antoni addresses the fact that it is important to have artistic skills and knowledge, but it is an artist’s unique experiences that are most important.

I really like your idea of determination when talking about skill because I believe that having determination is a large factor in learning a skill like when Janine Antoni learned how to tightrope walk from one of her pieces.
