Box of Crayons

Crayon Box
Crayon Box

“Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the ‘creative bug’ is just a wee voice telling you, ‘I’d like my crayons back, please.”

    You almost got me started on a rant about modern-day education and its abysmal, antiquated practices but fortunately I have only a little time to get through some blogs so I will refrain from doing so 🙂

    That is actually a most attractive picture Monte. Quite evocative of the sentiment brought out in the quote.

      Glad you didn’t get started on a rant. 🙂 I found the quote somewhere and knew right away the sort of image I could make for it. Since then I’ve come up with other ideas and may have to create those images. Thanks, Cedric.
