Mr. Freeman
Oh yeah, well, fear is a great place to begin art.
Melinda
I learned how to draw a tree in like the 2nd grade.

The Importance of Creativity and Imagination
Mr. Freeman
Can anybody tell me what this is?
[holds up a smashed globe]
Ivy
A globe?
Mr. Freeman
A Globe? Gosh... What're you guys? 13? 14? You already let them beat the creativity outta you?... It's ok. I used to let my daughters kick this around my studio when it was too wet to play outside. And one day Jenny put her foot right through Texas and the entire United States crumbled into the sea. I mean, you could, you could paint a wet muzzled dog... chewing Alaska! The possibilities are endless. It's almost too much but you all are important enough to give it too.
