Abstract
There is a question that has troubled me for some time: Why is the percentage of gifted persons so much higher among children than among adults? Without exaggerating too much it may be possible to say that the artistically ungifted child is just as rare as the gifted adult. Why? What becomes of it at the age of twelve, thirteen, or fourteen? Why is it that a little girl who has been composing living, breathing, charming lines of verse practically from infancy suddenly starts to compose wooden gobbledygook? Why is it that a little boy who has been captivating everyone with the striking decorativeness and the unconscious meaning of his drawings simply stops, as if he had been switched off? I have been thinking about this, and the main thing I have become certain of is that the question of children's artistic creativity needs to be dealt with as a question of the nature of talent in general.
