I am a big artist but have heard that there are tests that claim that artists are not necessarily creative. It makes me worried that I’m not creative.
What do you think of this issue?

I think you’re creative. Art is subjective anyway .

Good afternoon @PhotoGuy. Art is a creative activity so I have moved this discussion into the Creativity category where it is the best fit.

What do you mean there are tests that show some artists aren’t creative?

It’s called “Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking”(TTCT)

Art is mostly a creative process I can’t see how it could not be, explain how it’s not.
I’m not sure but scientists claim being artistic is different from being creative.
In which context, like being a plumber.
What is art and creativity will be a question we all ask and has so many answers and views of.
My definition of creativity is broad. Very broad - writers, engineers, thinkers, problem solvers are using creativity.
Then there are aesthetic artists, who creates imagery and sound and emotion through visual, audio and words. I’m not a good writer so I can’t really express myself well.

I always considered engineers and scientists and the like to be creative. Just I used to think art is that way too. I feel like my photos took creative thinking, but some scientists are trying to separate the two.

Photography is so much harder than it looks.
I am an illustrator and visual designer. So I’m creative by pencil paper design programs which are my mastered tools. Capturing images is using another tool, cameras of all sorts, and I thought i would be good at photography because how hard is a camera.
It’s hard to be a good photographer. Understanding lighting physics motion of the subject environment is hard. I assumed i could be a great photographer given I can draw etc. but I’m not.
