“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Picaso
I recommend “Imagine” by Jonah Lehrer to those who want to understand how imagination works, how to spark your creative juices and tap into the unrestrained artist of your childhood.
…………it’s also the kind of creativity that little kids constantly rely on, largely because they have no choice. Because parts of the brain associated with impulse control remain underdeveloped, they are unable to censor their imagination, to hold back their expression.
………..“controlled craziness” is the kind of creativity that occurs when we let ourselves go, allowing the mind to invent without worrying about what it’s inventing.
