Reflecting on Picasso Quote

Everyone starts out as an artist.  A child is thought of as an artist because he/she is able to express themselves in what they do without the pressure of what others think.  As the child matures he/she begins to consider the thoughts that others might have concerning their work.  Being an artist requires courage and belief in yourself.  Art expresses one's emotions and views.  This means that there is no classification of a "good" or "bad" artist because in reality the only opinion that should concern the artist is their own.
