I have heard a lot about INFPs being strong with writing, but what about visual arts like painting, photography, film, etc? Do INFPs tend to lean on the visually artistic side? I am an INFP and find myself to my more visually artistic and literarily artistic than musical.

EDIT: Sorry about the typo in the title, I have no idea why I put are in the title lol

I think that you can edit that by going to the advanced editing options...

I'm very much into all kinds of art...painting, oil pastels, drawing, clay, etc. I would think INFPs would be, also.

In my own experience Poetry,songwriting, and Music composition came naturally to me. While, it was a struggle to find a medium for visual creativity I still had a desire to try it. I eventually found a knack for graphic design, and collages, but still a very less-than mediocre ability to draw or paint very well.

I'm very good when it comes to visual learning, but not so much inventive when it comes to art. Give me something to draw, and I can make it look great, with my own personal style (all scratchy and distorted, I never learned to color inside the lines haha).
And I'm good with photography and such.
But painting, sculpting, etc, no.
I have found my niche in writing/calligraphy, photography, and sketching.
...I also admire the scratchboard. =P

I wish I was more artistically inventive though! D=

I actually took a drawing course once, and the teacher said that while I was not good drawing details and that I had trouble when drawing objects, I did have a knack for making up motives, to imagine nicely composed scenery for instance.

My writing are very related to mood, as such my grades in school fluctuated. If I where in a good writing-mood when it happened to be writing-day, I got good grades. When I bad mood, I didn't succeed that well.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I've read that art is organized imagination. Art is not just creative and imaginative, it also need to be structured. When in bad mood, I don't do well at being organized. Perhaps thats why my grades varied.

I've never been very good at anything really. I really enjoyed pottery. When I took pottery class I loved using my hands, and shaping the clay. I shy away from most creative things like drawing because I had a traumatizing experience with an elementary art teacher that yelled at me for trying to do my own thing. I also like writing sometimes, and I do dabble in poetry and short stories sometimes. When I was in the mood of course. :) I used to be really into photography, and I hope to take a class in it while I am in college. :)

I do this and that. I write, I photograph, I play guitar, sometimes I draw... but my drawing is like... weird. I want to draw somebody's portrait and in the end it looks like alien again..and again...and again. My drawing skills are below zero.

I am NOT a creative writer, but I am a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to the visual arts.

I like to write research papers and opinion pieces, but trying to produce any kind of fiction/poetry/creative writing feels like torture.

Well, Im studying graphic design so I hope Im a bit visual! Hehe. Though I do like to dabble in other visual areas such as craft (love working with paper - making awsome cards is what I do for close friends on their Bdays - the last one I made was a pop-up card of a tree with a bird in it, came out really well :D).

Originally I thought that I was terrible at drawing, but over the last few years I have learnt to embrace my 'style'. No, Im not going to be able to draw a persons face with amazing accuracy and detail, however, I can draw my intepretation of it, and if other people cannot relate to it, that is their loss. I think what inspired this thinking was seeing my friends drawings. They were so abstract and interesting, yet beautiful. They were out of this world. Child-like and sohpisticated. Now I just do my own thing, and if people dont appreciated it, thats ok.

:points to avatar: 3'x4' charcoal drawing I did at school. Right now I'm working on an art project. I'm working on another for my dad who wanted to fix up a guitar. I'm painting the pick guard.
