Art is less "better than I can do" and more "something taken from a VERY specific perspective, but still somehow resonates with the person experiencing it." Skill in an artform certainly makes the depth of that resonance more powerful, but often people can surprise themselves if they put in the effort. Not to say just anyone will be Shakespeare, but much of what makes art great is the fact you can't see the process that lead them to the end. I've had things that people loved but felt "normal" to me because I remember the map of the route I took to get there. All they saw was the end result.
