I wouldn't call her a "random" grade schooler, but I did know a girl growing up who had mastered a similar style to Picasso: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Nechita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Nechita Wikipedia seems to be claiming they called her "petite Picasso," but I remember her being called "pocket Picasso." It was a while ago and possible my memory is bad. She went to middle school across the street from my high school and was friends with a freshman in my class when I was a senior, so I got to meet her and work with her a bit. I guess it's an open question whether she would have been as popular and successful if not for the original Picasso already existing. There is always an element of luck in who gets discovered. It's not like she was the only uniquely talented person I ever met in all the years I dabbled in art. But people seem to consistently underestimate what this takes. It's not like you just wake up every day with no training or practice, inspiration strikes, and 20 minutes later you have a cubist masterpiece, and you can repeat that every day. This girl was legitimately special.
