Firstly, I believe visual thinking is at the root of creative thinking, which is so needed today. All of the genius' in history were visual thinkers, yet our educational systems haven't seen it's value (yet!). It seems art programs are the first to be cut in our schools. I believe developing visual skills will grow brains in and for all areas of life. Secondly, I believe all humans are creative, priceless and bring unique value to this world. Our artistic expressions, whatever they may be, raise awareness of the value we each have and what beautiful thing each brings to this world.
