response to picasso's quote

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."- Picasso

 When i first read this quote the other day in class, I was not quite sure what to think. I could understand it fine and what this statement is reffering to, but what I am still trying to figure out is if i completly agree with it. Its not unsual for me to be indesiceve but there is somthing unusal about this quote that is persuades me to agree with it and then another minute i am questioning myself. I recognize that i am nowone to be second guessing such a great artistis belife but i do feel that the statement isnt always ture  to everone. Though i do agree with him that "every child is an artist" i feel differently about the second part of the quote. The way i see it, like he said, every child is an artist, if that is true they will be all there life. Simmilar to riding a bike, i feel with art once you learn it you dont forget it. Its true that 60 years down the road if you havent rode a bike since middle school your perfomance will probably be different. However, i consider being out of practice and rusty just different than never having riden before. Picasso is true, that unless you are a proffesional artist like hiself, an adult wont be spendng as much time drawing pictures because they will have another ocupation. In conclusion, i feel that, being an artist is natrual to everyone, and the only advantage childeren have is that they have more time to practice.
