I have returned to this video many times throughout the last few years and I am always inspired by it. Author Elizabeth Gilbert talks about the creative process and how society views those people involved in a creative career. This is simply fascinating. Take the time to watch the video. In particular, her discussion about how the Greeks and Romans viewed “genius” is fascinating. Specifically her story of poet Ruth Stone is fascinating. Please take the 20 minutes necessary to watch the video…I believe you will like it.
Olay...olay! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThought you might find this interesting. Hopefully Penn Trafford is not going to require students to pass certain standardized tests in order to graduate (as those tests certainly don't and can't measure creativity). And before the school board even considers it, they should read this article and try to take the test themselves and see if they pass! :)
