After flipping through the worn pages, I became nostalgic and envious of the days I was able to sit around, painting or drawing for hours. Seriously. That was the best part of my day. Sitting in Mrs. A's intermediate painting class was the most therapeutic, entertaining (it was impossible not to overhear a very dramatic male student's thoughts about his flavor of the week) and by far the quickest hour of my long school day.
After finding this treasure I started thinking about how important art and creativity are to me. While my future ambitions include working in the fashion industry, I have never seriously considered designing for a career. I'm not sure I have the patience to create fashion from thin air. But tonight's find reassured me that I need to find a career that encompasses both intellectual and creative input. I'd like to think that I use my creativity often, however I have not given the right side of my brain the exercise it was given in the past. School and work really do consume me!
