I would like to share two TED videos that you and your students should see. The first tells the story of an artist who found ways to work through limitations that eventually revitalized his creative process. Molly Murphy shared this with us via one of her high school students.

I am also suggesting that you view this TED video on Jarrett Krosoczka about "How a boy became an artist".

Lastly I recommend that you view the line up for TED Fellows' Talks and take a look at the big ideas represented in the themes. How exciting. I can't wait! I see our upcoming Art Education Symposium as our own "TED" talk series right here at Mizzou! http://conferences.ted.com/TED2013/program/guide.php
