Creativity is our birthright
“Your Creative Child of the Past is still alive, believe it or not. It can be revived and brought into your everyday life – now! It can express in the way you dress, cook, decorate your home, or design your garden. It can come out in your hobbies, avocations, or personal passions, such as travel, the arts, sports, collecting, etc. It can enliven and expand the horizons of your work, bringing freshness and innovation. It provides the uniqueness and originality that make for distinctiveness and leadership in any field. And the Creative Child brings the spark that makes work fun and life worth living.”
(LUCIA CAPACCHIONE i boken “Recovery of your Inner Child”)
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” (PABLO PICASSO)
“Creativity is our birthright. We are born with it. Children are naturally creative, imaginative, and resourceful. They have to be in order to survive. I say this from years of experience observing, teaching, and photographing hundreds of pre-school children of all socioeconomic backgrounds. But somewhere down the line something goes wrong. In elementary school the creative spark begins to fade, and by adulthood it is almost extinguished.
When I ask adults to draw in my workshops, the vast majority of them panic. They say they can’t draw and have no creative talent. Remedial work is required to help them relax. They need to give their Critical Parent a break and make it safe for the Creative Child to come out. For the Creative Child can draw. It can dance. It can sing. It can invent. It can write. It can discover. The Critical Parent Within, however, obsessed with looking good and being in control, is too threatened to allow experimentation, because that could lead to “mistakes.” But it is precisely through experimentation that the Creative Child lives and breathes. The Creative Child must be allowed to be messy, to explore new possibilities and make “mistakes.” Actually, for the Creative Child there are no mistakes, there are only discoveries.”
