Let Your mind Wander - See with the eyes of a child.
Let
your
Mind Wander. See with the eyes of a child.
Young minds wander. They meticulously observe their environment and flow with it. They explore, experiment, question, research, investigate, question, fail without distress and move on creating subtle visions and possible narrative of the possible. See the world through the eyes of child you were.
1. Creativity is an instinct. Unleash it.
2. Observe children at work .They carry our ancestral knowledge.
3. Treasure and celebrate children’s (our ) concepts and theories. They reveal our learning path.
4. Take your mind and a line for a walk.
5. Follow your inner and deeper intuitions. They can reveal great things.
6. Your brain is a mighty machine.
7. Fail and start again. The path is rarely straight.
8. Review, rewind, rewire.
9. let your mind wander.
10. It knows where to go.
Children seem to manifest a nimble and wide spanning ease in the use of materials producing striking pieces of artwork. Taking a closer look at the process of mark making it seems that they are not a tabula rasa but are unfurling an ancestral ability that has lied dormant and awakens as the gestures of visual representation emerges. Carl Jung’s creative instinct (van den Berk, 2012) shows how this impulse is rooted inside each individual and makes its way from deep inside the human psyche to then surface and blossom. Furthermore, he illustrates this concept by stating that the artist reaches down into his/her roots and works like an alchemist transmuting the drive into artwork.

It has been proved that young children
are able to produce striking pieces of artwork that are aesthetically pleasing
and can reflect the high quality of their production. With time this creative drive falls asleep. A curtain is drawn. In most cases no more
light shines through and the earlier dynamic phase is obscured. Creativity is stolen by evaluation, rewards, competition, over control,
restricting choice and compliance.
Take Action! Let you mind wander and see with the eyes of a child.
