brand new blog

Hi! This is my blog for Creative Arts I at Ryerson University. This course is part of my undergrad in Early Childhood Education and this blog will be linked to work in the field (particularly the assigned Arts Explorer posts). I'll also be tossing in some other stuff, related to creativity and interesting thinking in general.

About this photo: over the break I went to Mexico and took this on the plane coming home. There were so many different patterns in the patches of farm land and I thought it would make a good painting.

My first thought on creativity and inspiration is about perspective. Even though I'm afraid of flying, it does give me a chance to notice what things look like from a different angle. In some ways getting on a plane and going somewhere new seems so normal, but being in the sky is actually kind of nuts if you think about it...
