Creating As a Necessity
You can set a great example for your children and grandchildren by being creative yourself. I grew up in a family where both my parents worked as artists. Their own love of creating was the best gift my parents could have given me. From that early experience, I decided that being an artist was not only a viable career choice, but that it was an important one.
I worry about the public school system today, with the creative arts getting short shrift. I believe that learning to paint or play an instrument is equally important to becoming a whiz in math or science. Did I say equally? Well, that’s not quite right. It is way MORE important to create.
If you think your child is more intellectual than artistic, or worse, he has no “talent,” then think again. Creativity is part of the human condition, and we all deserve to indulge in it. It can be a full-time career or a part time hobby. And let me ask you this, was Einstein creative?
