Recently published a “Culture Special Report” in the Atlantic Monthly
Several American artists including portrait painter Chuck Close, film director Jennifer Yuh Nelson, musician Paul Simon, car designer J Mays, fashion designers Laura and Kate Mulleavy, and others were asked “to discuss the sometimes messy, frequently maddening, and almost always mysterious process of creating something new.” They discuss the first ideas that inspire, creativity, and how some ideas turn into deep, meaningful, completed works of art. I thoroughly enjoyed, not only the interviews, but the images that accompany them. You might want to take components of the piece to share in pieces with your students, parents, administrators, and others.
