Its Owl JOLSON.
You're probably quite unfamiliar with the name, but if you're into Warner Bros' classic cartoons, that name would ring a bell. He's not as famous as Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck, but the reason why the header title of this blog is named after him was because of the impact it gave to me as a child. He made me believe that some people, even the ones close to you, will stop you from believing in your dreams.
Anyway, meet Owl Jolson :
Prof. Fritz Owl is a classical music teacher, expecting all of his kids to be doing the same thing he desired them to do, but NO JAZZ. But suddenly, his youngest, Owl Jolson started to sing JAZZ right after his egg hatched.
Owl Jolson was rejected by his father for being different.
It's kind of reminding me of our very own society. When were babies, we were like little scientists, trying to look for answers for everything. We would ask questions like "Mommy why is the sky blue?", "Why do birds have two wings?", "What makes our skin go 'pruney' after a long bath?". We would play with our food out of playfulness and curiosity. But our "creativity" were being suppressed when someone said "stop".
"stop playing with your food!"
"stop asking all these unimportant questions!"
"stop making all these mess!"
STOP!
And then our education system comes along. I've always believed that school is essential to let kids explore their potential through making new friends, curricular activities, art and sciences, but its NOT necessary. I think the problem with the academic system is that its always about finding the right answer instead of looking for good questions that would trigger an idea lead to solution for students to explore.
And this guy has something to say about this :
I believe that its never too late to unleash the creativity within us.
This blog is to record my progress as I go through series of "creative studies", by sharing my discoveries and artworks that inspire me, and hopefully it would inspire you as well :)
