Art
Also known as Artistic Expression, this Talent reflects your ability with a visual or performing art: drawing, singing, acting, writing, painting, dance, sculpture, and so forth. Given such talents, you can work within your chosen medium to produce works of startling power. Depending on your idiom, you might create realistic renderings, engaging exaggerations, or wildly avant-garde experimental art. Higher levels reflect your ability to impress your audience; in art, that means striking a chord of Truth in people even when your work isn’t remotely realistic.
As with other related general Abilities, each specialty reflects a different medium or field, of artistic endeavor. Each type of art – dance, painting, etc. – must be purchased as a separate specialty. However, because the principles of art are related even when the techniques differ, you can purchase additional specialties for only four points, assuming you have at least four dots in Art and one specialty already in place. See The Well- Skilled Craftsman (p. 279) for further details.
