lost potential crafts
i was browsing through my files when i came across this scanned version of an artwork i did way back in high school. after having first read a young blood article (in philippine daily inquirer), i got hooked and kept on clipping each article i chanced upon. i never really cared that much about the negative buzz that the headlines had, i went directly to the 10th or 11th page of PDI. then when i finally had the time, i would paste each article (so far, i have only pasted about 7 out of 30+ articles i have) on my sister's math notebook which i decided to recycle for art's and literature's sake. since an article directly clipped from a newspaper and pasted on a math notebook's page isn't visually pleasing, i decided to create a collage out of each notebook's page by cutting and pasting different figures and pictures and whatnots from magazines and just randomly pasting them to cover all numbers and equations on the notebook. the pic above is a sample of one of my most priced works. i suddenly remembered this book i read a few months back. actually, i haven’t really continued it yet but i could never forget the learning I gained from some of its chapters. It’s “rich kid, smart kid” by Robert kiyosaki and it tells about the need for parents to educate their children about money in the right way. There was this part where kiyosaki discusses about the many geniuses that a child has. Unfortunately, since the educational system focuses too much on the mathematical and linguistic ability of a person, all the other geniuses which the child are originally blessed with weaken or eventually die. i do believe that this is true and i had to ask myself what could be those talents which i had as a child which I wasn’t able to hone and share with the world. Not that I’m regretting anything. i see this as an opportunity for me to plunge into activities which i’ve never imagined myself doing. maybe if i'm luckier, i'll find an article soon, like those in young blood, which will get my art muscles to work. yet something tells me i shouldn't wait for inspiration to come.
