FAVORITE TALK
"Why people believe they can't draw- and how to prove they can" by Graham Shaw
"Why people believe they can't draw- and how to prove they can" is a TED talk by Graham Shaw, an expert in the art of communication. He patiently demonstrated and taught the audience how to draw simple cartoon characters and later on, proved to the people who couldn't believe that they could draw in the first place, wrong. It made me realize the importance of self-recognition, the power of believing in yourself, and that you can, in fact, do anything you want as long as you believe in it. When I was young, I was not one of the famous artist nor craftsmen in school, and I certainly did not think about becoming one. It was not until my middle school art teacher gave me a chance to join the honor arts class, that I realized my love for art and the potential I had. Graham inspired people like me, to enhance their personal presence and to find a new perspective on themselves.
