Without encouragement a child can lose enthusiasm for many things they might have developed. That profound impact on a child can last a lifetime. This extends to other forms of creativity too. Thanks for your inspiration!
My kindergarten teacher wouldn’t let me bring some of my work home because she told me it wasn’t good enough. She was fired at the end of the year, but nonetheless her damage was done on the whole class. 64 years later I still remember the impact she had on me at that young age. Thank goodness my 1st and 2nd grade teacher was the best ever!
Some people have no pictures in their heads, if they have a conditions called Aphantasia. No Minds Eye, no Inner Dialogue. just empty heads. I just learned about it and trying to wrap my mind around it.
Draw a capital E on the left of a piece of paper. Draw a lower case e about 3 inches to the right. On the line above that, about an inch away from the capital E but ABOVE it, draw a capital M. On the line BELOW the E's draw a capital W below the M and another W about an inch further in. M E e W W Ok got that? Put an asterisk * below the M . Then write your name between the * and the lower case e. Connect the letters, drawing a line from the edges of the letters, the capital E to the M, curve a line down to the lower case e, kind of swoop down another curved line around your name that crosses the tops of the two W's and back up to the other end of the capital E. Now do this to your friends. It's especially fun with sidewalk chalk on the sidewalk or street (not if there's traffic though)
@@stoic_demon It is a combination of both, some people instinctively can see the shapes accurately and can transfer them into art, however they also have to work hard and practice to master it. Many others have to work very harder to see without misconceptions and transfer it into art. I am talking about realistic visual art, but abstract/expressionism are different. This is from my own experience, I could instinctively draw more accurately even without any training compared to many of my friends. However, I also need to learn many techniques and practice regularly to take it to next level.
Jay curious i did not formulate my answer correctly im sorry I see and know that there is a part of talent/ a gift but a person with less talent can still do the same or even better though training and practice (thats what i meant) have a good day fam
@@stoic_demon I can tell you from experience being an exceptionally good artist myself that you can learn some things. But, their are still some things you will never be able to grasp that someone such as I can do. I cannot make you see the world through my eyes or think of what I think about. I got the talent from my grandmother. I know this is hard to grasp but, if everyone could be a exceptionally good artist than, people such as DaVinci and Salvador Dali wouldn't be so special. Yes, I could teach you some fundamentals. However, I could never teach you how to draw to the level that I do. As previously stated you don't see the world the way I do.
It looks like Ralph Ammer at TEDxTUM ripped off this talk, added some organisation - and some shade! (Not a big fan of the lightbulb!) Both worthwhile variations on more or less the same content - but I am puzzled by what the relationship is, which came first and how the content flowed or became similar.
"Can you still remember when you were a child and you did not hesitate to draw?" Me: ... Nope. I had no interest to draw as a kid. And I can't draw today. I feel like I have no starting point that isn't incredibly boring.
@@MadamMoonShadow Just start by drowing things that you like, I like almost nothing that I would drow, but I'm a cook then I assume I could drow food. Also I like animals, so I could drow that, there's got to be something that you like, and if you are watching this video there's got to be some motivation for you to be watching this video.

Excellent talk.
Talented and optimitic and initiating good push for us

I have this, it's not as weird as people think :D But it makes it hard to draw w/o references of course
My condition is completely your opposite, I'm maladaptive daydreamer
@@loveanime9890 I heard about that, I hope youve found a way to manage it
@@reshibunny9684 yeah!
Thank u all very much
It takes a person with the gift of an artistic mind to see those shapes inside a pencil, a cow, and a cowboy.
Draw a capital E on the left of a piece of paper. Draw a lower case e about 3 inches to the right. On the line above that, about an inch away from the capital E but ABOVE it, draw a capital M. On the line BELOW the E's draw a capital W below the M and another W about an inch further in.
M
E e
W W
Ok got that? Put an asterisk * below the M . Then write your name between the * and the lower case e.
Connect the letters, drawing a line from the edges of the letters, the capital E to the M, curve a line down to the lower case e, kind of swoop down another curved line around your name that crosses the tops of the two W's and back up to the other end of the capital E.
Now do this to your friends. It's especially fun with sidewalk chalk on the sidewalk or street (not if there's traffic though)
i do not agree from my point of view its just practice and not some gift from the heavens above...

Change your belief first
That’s not exactly helpful for someone like me. Thank you, though!

@@hasbethperez5598 There was. But drawing makes it go away ^_^'
Madam Moon Shadow well, try drowing your feelings towards anything that you care about, it always helps me
Ehem... You HAD TO LEARN TO WRITE, LADY... SEEMS YOU ARE MISSING THAT POINT.
lul is this a joke?
To people with your mentality, yes I suppose it is a joke. What a tragic indictment, though! 😊
On you!
