How to Invite Creativity into Your Life | Rose B. Simpson, Debbie Millman | TED (Level 1)

Rose B. Simpson is an artist. She grew up in New Mexico. In her family, art and daily life were the same thing. Her mother made pottery for them to use. She also grew their food and turned off the electricity. This taught Rose how to live simply and make her own choices. Rose loves cars. She grew up watching beautiful cars in her town. Now, she fixes old cars. She painted one car to look like traditional pottery. Rose makes art from clay and metal. She calls her art and her cars vessels. A vessel is something that holds things inside. Rose believes her art holds feelings and life. She gives her clay figures eyes and ears so they can see and hear the world. When she makes art, she sits quietly and listens. She hopes her art helps people learn to be quiet and listen, too.
