Charles de Lint - From the Children category:
Most children are given far too much praise for their early drawings, so much so that they rarely learn the ability to refine their first crude efforts the way their early attempts at language are corrected. (Charles de Lint)
Charles de Lint - From the Children category:
As children, we come into the world with a natural desire to both speak and draw. Society makes sure that we learn language properly, right from the beginning, but art is treated as a gift of innate genius, something we either have or don't. (Charles de Lint)
Charles de Lint - From the Children category:
How hard would it be to ask children what they see in their heads? How big should the house be in comparison to the family standing in front of it? What is it about the anatomy of the people that doesn't look right? Then let them try it again. Teach them to learn how to see and ask questions. (Charles de Lint)
Charles de Lint - From the Fun category:
You wouldn't want any creative process to lose its sense of fun and adventure, but that doesn't mean you can't take it seriously as well. (Charles de Lint)
Charles de Lint - From the Genius category:
I think you're all mad. But that's part and parcel of being an artistic genius, isn't it? (Charles de Lint)
Charles de Lint - From the Teaching category:
You don't have to be Michelangelo to teach basic art, just as you don't have to be Shakespeare to be able to teach the correct use of language. (Charles de Lint)
