N and S types relationship with art
Art (in any form) is composed of two elements: message and technique. This message can be either an opinion or point view or a feeling or sentiment, being what you want to express with your art. The technique is how you’re going to express this, or simply how you handle your tools (not necessarily a literal tool, it can be a pencil for drawing or your body for dancing).
What I think differs N and S types and the way they make art is which element they prioritize: N types prioritize the message of their art, they’d rather go for an expressive form than develop their skill to a level of detailed artwork they would consider unnecessarilly complicated. S types on the other hand will develop their skill to a level where they think it’s good enough for them.
Think of Jackson Pollock as an example of and N type, he developed a way of expressing himself through a completly abstract form using a relatively simple technique. He was still a skilled artist, but his expression was more important than brush strokes or perspective.
Whereas Da Vinci studied both his technique and his subject to an extreme level of detail. I think people tried too much to understand the Monalisa, but it’s just a demonstration of skill. Of course he was still an artist and his message was still important, but the way he expressed it took precedant.
A note on S types
As someone who follows mbti regularly, I see that posts about S types regularly have less notes than similar posts about N types and this makes me kinda sad.
There's a lot to admire about every type, even though some are much more commonly appreciated. The quiet adventurism and independence of an ISTP that made me fall for him like nothing else, the genuine care and compassion that my ESFJ friend gives me and the world on a regular basis, the consistent reliability and effort of my ISTJ lab partner, the reckless fun that I've had with my ESTP cousin that made me feel actually alive, just to name a few.
There is so much beauty and value there that we tend to look past, and I really wish that there was more appreciation going around for S types.

♉️ If Zen's really a S-type ♪(´ε` ) I think so? :))))
It still annoys me that there are still types who think they’re superior to other types? Just because you’re an introvert and an N doesn’t make you better or “deeper” than other people. S types and extroverts see the world from different sides, perspectives we would never think of. They’re just as complex and interesting. See individual people, not just letters.
