If an adult were given one big piece of empty paper and asked to draw something on it, I bet many will just go blank and panic, thinking so hard of the things to draw to fill the paper up; thinking should i draw this or that? Is it OK to draw it here? Somehow, many many doubts and worries will appear. However, if a child of age 3 were given the same piece of paper and asked to do the same thing as the adult was told, I believe they can just grab some crayons and fill the whole paper up easily; or maybe a second piece of paper is needed.
Children has the courage to express themselves freely without fear of anything. They have strong imagination, dare to be different, believe in what they think and that is what make them brave enough to draw anything on a blank piece of paper without being scared of the wrongs and mistakes (which all of us fear of when we grow up). Where is the creativity gone to? Why are we scared to express ourselves? Pablo Picasso once said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up" and that is quite true to many people out there in the world.
