TALENT is a myth!
And the "talented genius" is a harmful idea. It undermines the driven explorative growth and overlooks a core creative capacity in all of us.
We all have natural creative capacities and drives. Though, for many they go underdeveloped and often shamed or discouraged away.
Schools do not help. The idea of talent does not help. Imaginative and creative capabilities over a life of play, silly thoughts, and explorative problem solving. It does not need to happen through the arts (though they do it well!). Maybe the arts could do more to un-conflate craft, imagination, and expression as the same things rather than different components of creative action.
I want to help everyone unlock their imaginative capacity to build their imaginative and creative capabilities. In the arts, art work, in lesson planning, and how we view others and resources.
Without turning imaginative capacity into capabilities, innovation is not possible.
With it, everyone has a chance of being a talented genius. Oh, and it makes life and parenting a lot more fun!
