How to Spark Creativity: Brendan O'Connell at TEDxAtlanta

About This Talk
Painter Brendan O'Connell cofounded Everyartist.me, an organization with a simple but daunting purpose: "to spark human creativity." What's the approach? It involves turning the work of a million young artists nationwide into "the most massive community art event in history."
About This Speaker
O'Connell has gained broad acclaim in the art world by focusing his work on paintings of places that serve as modern America's town squares: Wal-Marts. His paintings are perhaps the most modern representations of Americana on today's museum and gallery walls.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I just watched this after typing how to spark my creativity and watched this. I am 54 years old and love making and crocheting but I always look to others to find something i really want to create . As a school girl I was told that my work was rubbish and was tasked to paint the panels on the wall, everyone said that my ideas were naff and so i stopped, however, my drive to do creative things wether its crocheting sewing sticking things together, what ever, never left me, but I am stuck watching endless you tube videos to find other peoples art to copy. I do not feel fullfiled at all.
