So this is the drawing I made for my Mum, with a little message on the back to say I love you and all that.

Luke and I are headed to my Mum’s tonight so she can wake up to smiles, scrambled eggs and gifts on Mother’s Day. Made a little drawing for her this morning. Will post it tomorrow. Meanwhile I was looking through my photos and came across this. It is my favourite photo of my Mum and I as a baby. Beautiful! And holy crap I think Luke and I just bought that print for our bedroom – how amazing!

So Luke and I moved into the most amazing house just before xmas last year. This is my favourite corner right now. Chair from salvos down the road, good find by Luke. Everyday just gets better in this house.

So I’ve been watching TED talks for a while now and I’m sure you all have been too. I just watched a short video on Creative Confidence and people’s lack of self-efficacy. I see it everyday in the art classroom, students who have been told that something they have created isn’t good enough. I believe that we are all innately creative and that somewhere along our path to adulthood someone has told us otherwise, be it a teacher or a fellow student or even a parent or family member. 

 

Here’s a little still from the video.

Here is the link to this great video where David Kelley briefly discusses ‘Creative Confidence’ – food for thought.
