Sorry but there is no talent, TALENT even less.
The kid has probably drawn a lot.
When a parent notices the kids skills they usually feed the fire. That's how things like prodigies are usually "born"
e. still, nice race cars

I don't think it's very impressive.

did i mentioned i was in a middle of a party? he ignored everything TO DRAW... foods, toys, balloons... More than that he drew on napkins on a couch, with his knees on the ground... and FYI, his parents were eating and taking pictures :-/...

Yes. And that is why he is good.
Good practice comes from concentration. Ability to concentrate on what you want to do = talent ?
Then I'd agree, the reason why most people don't have extreme abilities is because of lack of dedication, not because they couldn't do anything.

idk... it just sounds like ur bar is higher than mine thats all... matter of opinion i guess...
i mean a kid know how to talk at age of 3... to me age of 4 could do things like that is just incredible. not even sure if i could hold a pen when i was that age.

Its awsome that some people can concentrate like that and become that good at something. Im also going to say that its not normal and that the reaction (he didnt even look at the camera ? ) isnt normal. Savant ?
|
The hell have you guys not seen a kid concentrate before? So what if he was at a party, he's a kid who likes to draw why should anything else interest him? If anything all those people might've made him shy so he went on with what he likes to do and lol@ suggesting savant.
|
Yeah, I take everything back.
He's the new rainman. He's got AC/DC and all of that stuff.
I mean drawing on a napkin! all the kids I knew drew on walls.

Well I dont have a huge experiance with kids but its way better than what Ive seen from any 4 year old before. Try to google "4 year old drawing" or something just to get a feeling of the level theyre usually at. Its very talanted anyway.

What then do you think talent is, other than a skill developed from an early age? If even prodigies are nothing more than skills developed young, then you think there are no inherent abilities, nothing built into genes that constitutes a 'talent'? If this is the argument you make, what is wrong with simply redefining a talent as a skill developed early in life, such as this talented child displays?

hehe I can hear the vietnamese in the background if I'm not mistaken =). Cute kid, hopefully he continues to do what he loves. And happy new year!

Autism occurred to me when I read the title. Kid who ignores people and mass-draws? Eh, what do I know.

I see I see! I'd like to see if he's drawing in about 5 years though. It is pretty nice that he likes something like that at the age of 4.

there is talent in art.
Synesthetic art is one of them, there are artists who are naturally tasting/seeing colour whenever they see a letter/word etc.

thats really good. I wish I could draw ANYTHING lol

What else would a 4 year old do at an adult party?
I'd be more impressed if he WAS socializing.

I'm impressed, but thats also because i cant draw for my life.

Nothing is wrong with that, but the word carries the meaning of some strange, unnatural,special, god-given ability which I don't think have ever been shown to exist.
Therefore the word is bad and I will always oppose to using it for skilled people.

But it doesn't actually affect their skills?
And all synesthetics don't connect the same sounds to same colours etc.
So IMO that's something that can be taught aswell. And has very little practical uses and little affect on one's learning in any particular field.
As for why autistic people are often very skilled in something, I do not know. However I think it's because of the extreme concentration. I went and got a quote I once heard, from the violinist Leopold Auer, on the amount of practice:
“If you practice with your fingers, no amount is enough,” was Auer’s response. “If you practice with your head, two hours is plenty.”
As someone who once practiced a lot, I think that is extremely true.

I wouldn't know they were cars, unless it was already pointed out to me, which it was. A more accurate word, or phrase, for what he drew would be a box with circles inside of it. This isn't talent, and attempting to foster talent which isn't there will just lead to overconfidence.

When I was 4, I had the ability to speak English and read very well, and by this I don't mean "The Look Books". I don't mean this as a brag, but rather that something like that could be considered incredible, not badly drawing cars.
/pessimism

I think that's pretty damn impressive. I have 4 year old nephews and if they draw something you're gonna need to get an explanation out of them to have any clue what it is.

This kid has aspergers. No doubt.
For a kid NOT to be socializing at a party, but instead drawing only one thing, but over and over again? That's totally aspergers. Kids without aspergers will always socialize before doing shit like that at a party.
Take it from an aspie.
Also, Buddy Rich could play the drums when he was about this age. So could Chris Dave, and Max Roach, and a few other world reknown drummers.

So many jelly people in this blog. Those are actually amazing cars, on napkins no less. I can't believe he's only 4. My cousin was only able to draw barely recognizable drawings when she was 4. That could come out to be incredibly talent when he grows up. Jellies, please just acknowledge talent instead of dismissing it being sour D:

Wow, thank you. It's just not me that oppose the usage of the word 'talent'. Skills often, if not always come from dedication. Some people might be able to pick up new abilities easier because of their experiences and ability to analyze new situations. It's more often a mental challenge to learn something new, not a time-based challenge. It's just that by time, you'll pick it up almost no matter what (if you're not in some stupid mindset, like in SC2: "Wow, X race is OP.").
Talent, for me, is a word for someone who wants to protect themselves from feeling unmotivated: "Well, I've got no talent, so why should I even do X?".
The kid, if he keeps that up will become pretty good when he grows up. No doubt about it. And it will be because of his countless hours of work and dedication. Calling it a talent is an insult to him and his discipline.
