I would like to talk today on behalf of those who can see art in everything around them. It's not a gift we are born with, but rather a skill we develop through visual curiosity and observation. A puddle of milk spilled on the floor in a work environment maybe reveals just a mess that needs to be cleaned up or a composition of geometric forms that evoke suprematism.A pile of cardboard boxes maybe just part of studio assignment left for a classmate or maybe a deconstructed version of David reinterpreted and ...

[Music] Hello, I'm Irish and I'm 10 years old. You know, a few years ago, I believed that I could freeze anything I wanted, just like Elsa from Frozen. I could imagine creating frozen castles and frozen friends.But the only thing I managed is to freeze from anxiety because it's the first time as a speaker. Don't worry, I won't freeze you. I will just talk about how important imagination is.Imagination allows us to be creative in different ways. For example, as a child, I use my imagination in role playing. ...

[Music] [Applause] Hello. I'm here to talk about something that makes me feel super happy and excited. Drawing and crafting.It's like I'm stepping into my own little world. I can make anything I imagine. It feels like having magic in my hands because I can turn a blank page into a beautiful picture.It makes me super creative. Sometimes I draw animals, landscapes or cute characters from my favorite cartoons. Other time I like to make a little paper crafts or cards.I really enjoy making things of raisin and c ...

[Music] Hi everyone, namaste. I'm Sneha Chakraorti and I am an artist.

My name is Kayn Ingram and I am a creative. Now, I just used an adjective as a noun. So, what exactly does it mean to be a creative? Artists, photographers, designers, painters, all might refer to themselves as a creative. I personally think it's a term that us rightbrain people use when there's just not one particular thing that we do for a living. So like most creatives, I have a lot of endeavors. I co-own a creative agency where we build brands and logos for startups. I paint murals on big walls for busi ...

We are preparing our children for the world that no longer exist and we wonder why do they feel lost. While growing up we were always taught to get good grades to work hard to choose the safer path. No one taught us how to solve the problem, how to challenge the traditions and how to fail.Yet in the real world, these are the most important skills needed to succeed in life. For decades, our education system has been preparing kids for the economy that that might not longer exist. We are producing job seekers ...

Heat. Heat. Hello everybody, dear guests and my esteemed teachers.So, I once got sent to the principal's office in fourth grade because I turned my book report into a K-pop song. Now, in my defense, it was a very good song. It had rhythm, it rhymed, and I even wore my new skirt to deliver it.But the teacher looked at me like I just tried to sell mixtapz in the middle of his class. And that's when I learned that creativity isn't always a part of the school program. At least not the kind that doesn't fit neat ...

Heat. Heat. When I was a child, I always asked why.Why is the sky blue. Why do we have two eyes. Why can't we fly like birds.To me, the world was full of mystery and magic. I want to understand everything. I was curious, excited, full of questions.At first, adults smiled at my question. They say, "You're so smart." But later, they got tired. They say, "Stop asking so many questions. Just listen. That's way." So, I stopped asking.Then I went to school. In school I learned many things. I learned history dates ...

When I first teach students how to write, the first thing that I ask them to do is I ask them, "What can you remember? What can you remember about your childhood home? About what you did in class today, what you did with your parents that day, what you ate for breakfast." If we read a story, what do you remember happening in that story. I had a class of kindergarteners and grade 1's and we read a fairy tale together that was separated into seven parts and for each student I assigned a single part of the fai ...
