“Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way. “
Edward De Bono
Today Yannick shot me holding a series of books I want to read that I have bought online over the past few years. Then at the end I did a Artline 200 black fine line pen drawing on Monte Marte a4 watercolour paper of the cover of Edward De Bonos book: Six Thinking Caps. I first heard of the De Bono ideas of the six thinking caps about twenty years ago when I was studying visual arts high school teaching at Sydney University under Marianne Hulsbosch who was actually a personal friend of De Bono before he passed.
I wish I had the focus to read and instead of reading at the end of the day after dinner I watch online movies on Stan, Disney Plus or Netflix or art documentaries on YouTube. I do love watching movies a lot but I would also love to read books at night time after dinner too.
“You cannot open a book without learning something.”
Confucius
I love this Confucius quote and I agree that one can’t pick up a book without learning something.
