artistic talent is based on creativity. Creativity is a skill separate from basic drawing skills or any other crafting skill.
When you're told to draw a model in drawing class, they want you to understand how the model exists within the world around it and the ability to transfer it onto whatever canvas you're using. How it interacts with light, the shapes that make up the model, hand/eye coordination etc. These are not artistic skills but craftsmanship skills.
To be creative is to be original in thinking and doing. To make something new. To look at something, bend the rules, and provide something that is completely unique.

Unfortunately you are so far from right. Please look at the definition of art before trying to debate.

Kinda funny that you didn't provide a link to your definition, yet used the same internet website I did for art, for the definition of "creative"...things that make you go hrm... Nope, I'm not an artist, doesn't mean I don't know what the definition of art is. There are a lot of things I know about that I don't necessarily do.

Creativity is not a skill. Look how creative 5 year olds are. Creativity and imagination tend to lessen as you enter the real world.
-
If you say that creativity and imagination lessen as we get older than would it be a skill to keep it from doing so?
-
No. It's not your choice. It's genetics. Studies have shown advanced intelligence and creativity to be mutually exclusive. You're not skilled because you can make shit up. Your brain just works differently.
-
You may be born with creative genes but it's completely up to you what you do with it. You can either do nothing or choose to work and fine tune it.
