ChildLike intuition::

I love this idea- that inspiration can come from anywhere. A few seconds of visual bliss could be the inspiration for an entire collection. Innocence can be inspiration.
In youth imagination is inspiration. Imagination is inevitable because, for most kids, they have no inhibition. They're uncaged, flying free because they've yet to really experience getting up from a fall. The possibilities of conjuring ludicrous ideas are believable for them, they haven't matured into thinking different. Why can't we fly on brooms and live in castles entirely pink? For me, my draw towards children is their ability to believe. They believe effortlessly. These photos are derived from children's inspiration on paper. Somehow kids produce something adults cannot. As haphazard and unique as each drawing is, the Korean artist set out and collected a thousand drawings from children between five and seven years old.
He attempted to capture the essence and subject of the drawing into an environment.




Assignment Idea: Blind draw individually and create a space from 2d line drawing- or - with partners, one describes a picture and can see their partner drawing but the person drawing cannot see themselves. That drawing becomes the inspiration for the space.
