A Lecture On Creativity

  So Sunday afternoon Luna and StarGirl reminded me they had a "big project" due the next morning all about the Greek Gods.  It was a big project, but they had a plan, and their teacher had told them they could work together as a team to make things simpler.  They had talked about making a movie with their friends or videoing a commercial, but in the end they chose to each dress up like six of the gods (that would be 12 total) and make a powerpoint with some picniked up photos.  They wanted to know if I would be their photographer.

I looked at the clock.  It was a little after one and we had dinner at Grandma's at 5:00.  That left four hours.  So I felt that with those time constraints a little lecture was warranted.  It went something like this:  Yes, I will take your pictures.  But, you should know, that creativity is much like a gas. . . it will take up as much space as you give it.  And you guys have a limited time this afternoon.  Since you tend to get really caught up in the creative process on picnik, you'll really have to pace yourself.  So what I'm saying in a nutshell is don't go overboard.

Three hours later I was done taking their pictures.
Ummmmmm. . . sounds like mom could use a lecture.

 

 

 

   

 

 

But aren't the results fantastic?
