Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” Pablo Picasso. We know that training the right brain with music and art has positive impact on the left brain. Yet today art curriculums in schools across this great nation are being stripped away or severely diminished due to misappropriated or mismanaged education budgets. While math, science and reading are vital, creativity should be equally revered and studied. “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Albert Einstein.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that the only prosperous and respectable career choice reside in the left brain - while right-brainers today have more influence on society that ever before. Every day frustrated left-brainers clock in and out of life to never discover the expanses of their right brain. It’s never too late for closet right-brainers to free themselves from the shackles of convention for the boundless exploits of the unfamiliar. “And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.” Abraham Lincoln.
