Subject: Re: Child Art
Dear Esme and all at the network
A great subject, and one close to my heart. I don't know if you have
had the chance to look at the website www.ted.com, but its a place to
see brilliant speakers talk eloquently about inspiring subjects. Its a
bit like youtube, but for intelligent people. Your topic reminded me of
a fantastic lecture by Sir Ken Robinson entitled " do schools kill
creativity " have a look at it via the link below. It has some very
valid points that apply to all of us.
