Freeman Patterson - The Call of Creativity

Freeman begins this presentation by making a clear distinction between art and craft and provides a succinct description of the role of craft in supporting the creation of art.

He follows with a talk about the nature of creativity and ways to nurture and develop the creativity with which each of us is born. He includes stories of people who have used their creativity in difficult circumstances to benefit others and follows this with a series of photographs (with commentary) that illustrate his main points and reveal how both the symbols in our dreams and the symbols in our art tell our life story.

Freeman has presented this program many times and in several countries – Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States – and regularly updates both the spoken and visual content.
