I believe that the creativity of children is an extension of their need to play. I remember my desire to draw seemed to fade away at about the same time that puberty struck.
- geoffmanning 3y agohave you considered that perhaps that desire simply didn't fade for artists? it reminds me of an artistic piece i saw in Florence, Italy back in 2013 that was of a tree suspended by wires, roots hanging out and all, and while i can't remember the exact words on the artist's sign, it amounted to when we are young we are pliable, we can easily adapt to change, and as we age we grow increasingly firm in our beliefs and incapable of adaptaption. Though it was more poetically worded towards how an older tree is more susceptible to the forces of nature. It will break before it bends.
- geoffmanning 3y agoand just to play devil's advocate for myself, perhaps the reason that artists never lose that is because of a childhood trauma that "traps" them in this creative vice? I hate to admit that this could potentially ring true for me (note that the post below this is chronologically before this one -- apparently this only appears above the first post if you're viewing on mobile vs desktop)
