      i was Gonna say i think women make better Nude art, but then goggle Aydian Dowling, thats a Trans (female to male) that was on the cover of Men's health

      but then again Aydian stared as a female, so doesnt that prove my original thought, that they are even better at being hot men then men?

      I think we have moved far enough past sexism that we can understand male and female minds are different. Talking to a girl vs a boy is different, and so are the typical interest.

      What I'm asking is if one of these minds are more incline to art then the other, or do they both have pro's and con's that make them come out even.

        It's an interesting discussion even if it may be kind of pointless.

    I think they did a study on this and found that men are generally more talented musically and that women were usually better creative writers. As for the visual arts, I've seen great stuff from both genders. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that men, being traditionally spatial, would be able to create exact, precise art, and women would be able to better capture an abstract emotion perhaps.

    Though, even if there ARE general differences between the genders, there will always be both men and women that buck the trend and excel at stuff they're not supposed to, and I think that's pretty awesome. I'm fairly talented musically, but I'm also a good writer, and I'm poor at most sports. In some ways, I'm like my gender, and in others I'm not, and I think that's the case with most people. And I know women, for example, who are not emotionally/socially adept, but rational, logical and exacting perfectionists whose greatest talents are mathematical.

    I don't think it's very wise to be "afraid" of general statistics. Sometimes they're not politically correct, but one's gender does NOT define them as a person anyway. It's just one aspect of a very complex entity.

    I've seen fascinatingly talented individuals from both sides of the equation. Why does it really matter?

    Does anyone actually think gender matters when it comes to artistic talent?
    Certainly males have the advantage commercially, but talent wise, I doubt there is any difference.

    Art is a feminine trait, however it doesn't make women more artistic. Art is subjective. And art is personal. So I do not feel this is a gender issue.

      Bullshit, not many art galleries, libraries, classical music concerts near you then? Men have dominated the arts, not coz they're better but because women weren't allowed access to education in days gone by.

        Im not sure why you called bullshit? You didn't contradict what I said. But what you speak of isnt about the art, its the politics of the system. Which is kind of masculine regardless of how many males it effected.

      Whoa! Art is feminine? Wholly disagree there. Architecture, graphic design, film, photography, fashion, tattoo, cooking? Those are just ones I know have heavy manly-male presence...not sure how drawing and painting stack up but I've known many male artists in those departments in my limited experience.

        Why don't you look up the difference between masculine and feminine as compared to male and female and get back to me.

        Feminine traits are more creative, by nature. Masculine traits are more organized and have structure to them. It has little to do with the gender of the person expressing those traits.

          The real difference is that male and female describe gender, masculine and feminine describe constructed stereotypes

        Oh yeah...music too, duh!

        I think with art it's either you have an eye or ear for it or you don't. It seems like the talent is evenly occuring in both genders.

      That's a bit contradictory: it's not a gender issue but it's feminine?

        Clearly I am not explaining myself. Feminine is not a synonymous with female. Masculine isn't male. Am I the only one who was taught this?

        I am not talking about stereotypes. Sure, many are the same, but that's not what I am describing. I am talking about yin and yang, art and science, black and white. It is one of lifes great dualities. Being creative is feminine. Right brained.

        Language is feminine, written word is masculine. These things go together so well. Funny how that is.

          Here are some words to help describe what I am refering to.

          Words to describe masculine energies, archetypes and cultural projections:

          positive attributes: active, intelligent, logical, rational, linear, determined, reliable, strong, stable, protective, sensible, heroic, focused, single-minded, practical, goal-oriented, consistent, predictable, capable, smart, rugged, ordered, disciplined.

          negative attributes: rigid, stubborn, aggressive, tough, ruthless, violent, non-communicative, self-centered, authoritative, dominating, dogmatic, closed-minded, autocratic, rule-bound, heartless.

          Words to describe feminine energies, archetypes and cultural projections:

          positive attributes: soft, warm, sweet, kind, loving, nurturing, gentle, creative, receptive, flexible, adaptable, yielding, forgiving, understanding, caring, care-giving, serving, passive, peaceful, open-minded, beautiful, mysterious, spontaneous, ever-changing, inspirational. 

          negative attributes: weak, emotional, irrational, illogical, unpredictable, bitchy, stupid, powerless, manipulative, controlling, indecisive, fickle.

            More stereotypes and more and more ...... what's the point of them? They're restrictive and limiting for BOTH genders (or all genders if you prefer) and there are so many exceptions they're meaningless.

            If there's ever a society where there aren't different expectations for male and female from the time of birth of before, and these differences still exist, then I'll believe they're innate, but not before.

              She isn't arguing that they are innate. She is simply saying that "artisticness" is a trait which is coded as feminine in our society. Without putting words in her mouth, I'm pretty sure she'd agree with you that it's socially constructed rather than natural.

          What was the gender of the person/s who decided to label the hemispheres of the brain masculine and feminine? Yin and yang is a spiritual concept and therefore I find it meaningless when applied to human beings

            You find spirituality meaningless? How sad.

            You completely missed the point.

              Sorry, I didn't express that well. What I meant was that yin & yang is a spiritual concept which I don't find relevant to this discussion. Spiritual concepts are invented by human beings to satisfy particular needs, which has nothing to do with whether certain attributes are innate to either gender.

    Even if there is a right answer to this question, we will never know it, because it would require a massive empirical study within a minimal period of time.

    Historical references and it's value is irrelevant. If it wasn't, then men would take the cake easily. Genetically speaking, both are prone to arts in the same way and have the same probability of success since generically speaking men and woman have more equal roles in society. It's a valid question though, it doesn't matter who wins.

    Well I'm going to get disliked for not going straight away with the "everything is equal, men have vaginas and women have penises and everything they do is equally the same" line of thinking but meh, here it goes.

    I would say men just due to all the statues they've made, the paintings, and amazing buildings. People generally think of art like a drawing or something but they don't take in to account everything else.

    So I would say initially men primarily due to the buildings we have and how amazing a lot o them have been made. Meh, iffy on the paintings. Perhaps equal but again most well known and admired ones have been from men.

    Music videos, though...Women seem to be the best at making those. I'm just taken back by how well people make them and the best ones tend to be women.

    Ooo, and writing. I forgot about that. I think that women are possibly better at certain types of creative writing. It depends on the genre though.

    So overall I would say that men are more artistically talenteed in some ways and women are more artistically talented in some ways.
