This is related to the fine of art painting/drawing.

This allows the Skating Artist to grow and bloom like a flower that is secured with strong roots from their foot development which is the base of control to become world class in 4 major art genres - fine, performing, decorative, and recording arts on ice.

 #3. A World Figure Sport's Skating Artist is developed with intension and practice of even 5 minutes a day over time and a positive mindset to become skating virtuoso where even every skill becomes awe-inspiring.
