Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
~ Fred Rogers
While creativity requires the ability to play with ideas, such play is far from frivolous. It is focused, purposeful, and an essential part of the creative process. For the creative person (of any age!), play is serious learning.

A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
~ Ludwig Wittgenstein
The ability to look at things from different perspectives and make unexpected connections are two key elements of creativity. The ability to do these things allows creative folks to find a humorous way of looking at serious things, often uncovering deep truths in the process.
Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.
~ Peter Usinov
So the myth that creative people create to avoid reality is simply that - a myth. In truth, creativity makes reality much clearer for everyone.
We have more to do every day than we can possibly accomplish. There's no time to think, plan or prioritize -- barely enough time to react.
Sketchnotes of Vincent's talk at KM Singapore 2012on Eliciting Expert Knowledge with the M.A.S.K. process
I was invited once again by my colleagues of DG REGIO, European Commission, to visually record the two-day meeting of the European funds communicators. More than 250 communicators from across Europe gathered in a magnificent Ghent’s cloister, Belgium, to discuss the future of Cohesion Policy, learn and share the best practices to communicate the benefits of the EU funds to citizens. I thank my colleagues for inviting me to each of the biannual meetings since 2017. Since this first time we noticed that the graphic recording has become one of the most appreciated elements by the participants. The many positive feedback I receive at the event only confirm this observation. That all those who took the time to come and talk to me are also thanked.

From Deborah:
It was an honor to do Interpretive Touch Drawing at Seeds of Compassion.
Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. Images are created through
the touch of fingertips on paper. The process allows for direct expression
of the soul, and can be used for deep therapeutic and spiritual purposes.
In the conference setting, I use Touch Drawing to visually portray the
content and energetic qualities of the lectures and musical performances.
Through the immediacy of the process, I can create 7- 8 drawings per hour.
These drawing were created during the Tuesday event; 'Inspiring Compassion
in Our Youth; Youth and Spiritual Connection Dialogue'. If you attended the
day or are watching it online, you can use these images to enhance the
feeling-tone of the presentations. Think of them as notes from the soul.
All these images will be posted soon on the CONFERENCE ART page at
www.touchdrawing.com. Go there if you would like to order a signed, archival
fine art print. Contact center@touchdrawing.com if you are interested in
purchasing an original or receiving permission to reproduce an image.
Drawings can be enhanced with color. A percentage of any income generated by
these images will be donated to support the ongoing work of Seeds of
Compassion.

Saw this book a few days ago in Armen Petrosyan's photostream. Ordered it immediately, because i am very interested in visual thinking, sketchnote taking and in solving problems visually.
