There is a wonderful post about creativity and our trend of holding back our childrens creativity at The Happy Husband

The questions to reflect are as follows I will try to answer for myself here...

How do you define "artist"? Creative bohemian in 70's gear

Write three words or phrases that describe how you feel when you’re being artistic (or when you used to be artistic).Free, joyful, relieved

Write three words or phrases that describe how you feel when you’re engaged in activities that don’t involve creativity. Bored,tired, repetitive, systematic

What do your answers to the previous two questions say about how you view these two sides of yourself? I am artistic in heart but perhaps leaning toward restricting it. Our kids are all grown so I have no one to restrict but myself..lol.
