Taking Imagination Seriously
Janet Echelman starts her Ted talk saying take imagination seriously. She is a world renowned artist obtaining this wasn’t an easy task. MS Echelman had never studied sculpture, engineering or architecture. After completing college, she applied to several different art schools and was denied by all of them. Her iron will and determination didn’t let that stop her she made her imagination come to life. In 2011 in long beach, CA MS Echelman was choosing to be a speaker at a TED talk conference. The speech was called ‘Taking Imagination Seriously.’ The main point of her speech is how you can be innovative use your surroundings to create something so beautiful
Illuminating Stages of Creativity
It all started when she was offered a Fulbright to India she had been painting for ten years this was what she had been waiting for promising to give exhibitions of paintings she shipped them off. Once she arrived, she soon found out that the paintings had never made it. She had to do something she promised to show paintings. She began to think she knew the village she was in was famous for sculpting so she started to see what she could do. First she tried bronze casting that was not was she was looking for it weighed too much cost was out of the question. She took a walk on the beach and noticed the fisherman on the beach with their nets how they pile them on top of each other and she start thinking way outside the box and that’s what sparked the idea of volumetric sculpting. She didn’t stop there she collaborated with these local fisher men to bring to life her first sculpture titled ‘Wide Hips. It was such a mastering sight how the wind affected the material to make the sculpture seem alive.
