artistic development

Evolving creative skills

Artistic development is the process by which someone's creative abilities and aesthetic sensibilities mature over time.

The phrase typically describes an artist's evolving style, technique, or vision across their career: Her artistic development accelerated after she moved to Paris.

It also applies to children learning to express themselves through art, or to the cultivation of artistic skills through education and practice.
