'Artistic giftedness' can have many different definitions, sometimes it is separated from the concept of having higher intelligence (superior academic abilities) most of the time the criteria for labeling some as artistically gifted varies from person to person. The immediate connection a viewer has with a realistic image relates to a form of kinesthetic empathy that does not require any knowledge of art or art history.

It seems as though artistic giftedness can have many different definitions, sometimes it is separated from the concept of having higher intelligence (superior academic abilities). Most of the time the criteria for labeling some as artistically gifted varies from person to person. Every teacher/adult has an aesthetic that they prefer or would consider a mastery of by a student to be reason enough for labeling ‘gifted’. Creativity can sometimes play a role, but the big picture general consensus of artistically gifted tends to lean on modernist aesthetics and the uncharacteristic depiction of high realism in a child’s artwork. I think this is slowly going to change, but the immediate connection a viewer has with a realistic image relates to a form of kinesthetic empathy that does not require any knowledge of art or art history as far as I’m concerned. The viewer can understand and realize the physical requirements of the artist to replicate life as we see it so well, yet most likely due to the viewer’s own physical inadequacies to attempt the same material the viewer automatically respects the time, dedication, etc and therefore immediately value the work more than that of a completely abstract painting, like Pollock, they think a 5 year old could do that. Aside from often exclusive definitions of what artistic giftedness is, it is usually determined by comparing students to the general developmental level of peer their physical age and if they exhibit evidence of high performance capabilities in certain areas they usually labeled as gifted. Children that show precocity, and often portray a mental age that surpasses their chronological age. Commonly associated traits according to Pariser & Zimmerman (2004): problem finding, problem solving, divergent & convergent thinking, self- expression, and adaptability to new situations (p. 381) Robert Abelman conducted a study in 2004 concerning TV literacy in academic and artistically gifted students and their comprehension of narratives and story-lines that incorporated time-leaps and flashbacks. According to his tests, heavy consumption of TV by children not labeled in one of those two categories does not result in facilitating comprehension of those telegeneric techniques, but that it requires a more advanced and higher order of thinking that gifted students possess and subsequently were able to comprehend on a much higher level than the non-labeled children. Yes, visual literacy is facilitated by cognitive, perceptual, linguistic, and social skills, but based on his results I think there is a flaw in the methods used, it really just tested visual and auditory memory and ones ability to re-present it via available still pictures and verbal narrative, maybe the non-labeled students were just bad at taking that kind of test? I do not think that artistic giftedness always has a special track available to students. I know some high schools offer AP courses in art while others, like mine, did not. But my school did offer independent study. I really don’t think most schools, teachers, and parents necessarily value artistically gifted students in the light that they would if the child was intellectually gifted, considering college and job prospects for a future in the arts is still tainted with the stereotypical scenario of a starving artist. Even more so, I’m Maggie McCombs Arte 302 – Reading Responses 1/28 not so sure students gifted in digital forms of art making are getting the attention and credit they deserve. Granted, I struggle with reconciling my desire to learn how to become better at digital art but also to see something made out of physical materials and the process of physically working with them. Tablets are amazing in terms of the hand to computer coordination and real-life replication of speed, movements, and pressure sensitivity but somehow, even when printed out, it seems less tangible to behold unless one has tried their own hand at it.
