I thought since I quoted him in the last blog, I might as well encourage you dive into this man's ideas a little more. Here is one of the most successful talks of the day on creativity, education and more. You can find his follow up video on TED.com
I always had a hard time in school as an artist, so this video resonates well with me. Our future holds more need for creativity and innovation than ever... just as much as math and science. Our school systems are built on a simpler past where we could have a predictable type of labor to encourage in our youth. Today, times are changing so fast we have no idea what any 5 or 10 year-old will be doing as a career in 20 years. Why not exercise their whole mind to the best of our abilities?
He is one of my favorite speakers! I took a class this semester called positive psychology, and one of the topics was creativity, probably my favorite. it really gave me some direction.
