First off, good luck on your PLAN test tomorrow. From my understanding, you will be eating lunch at around noon and then go to class after so I am not sure what the timing is in class tomorrow.
For this evening:

i believe this quote means that every child has the ability to do as much as they want to. the child just has to put forth their best effort to do and solve the delema. every child is a artist because they can draw and that's really all a artist is, is its a person that can draw. also every kids has a overactive imagination and they use it all the time to make creative ideas. the trick its saying is to keep the creativeness and apply it later in life for the child as it grows up. to keep being a artist i feel is to keep expressing it in everything you do everyday. so as every child is a artist he must keep it as he grows in the quote by Pablo Picasso.

I think that Picasso is trying to explain the creativity and innocence of a child. Every child has a vivid imagination, and life is a canvas that they can paint on. However, as we grow to adults our creativity decreases and things we used to find as fun are now viewed as childish. Picasso is stating that not many adults hold on to that creativity their whole lives. When I think of a child words that come to mind are innocence and being carefree. When we live in the business and "adult" world it becomes more and more difficult to hold on to such traits. Pablo Picasso is saying that this is a difficult part of growing up.
To me this quote means that every child is made with creativity. As a child you are always unique and don't really care what others think about you. To them life is an empty canvas , but as you grow up other people form you into other things. But its up to you to keep your individuality. As you grow into an adult most people become like others and there not as transcendental. Personally , i agree with this quote , as a young child I remember not having a care in the world what others thought. And now as I look around at other people I knew as a child and what they were like , I can see some people have changed into more of "the crowd" and others stayed individuals. I think that the people who stay transcendental are better off in the long run because they don't let others shape who they are.

To me this quote means that every child is born with the necessary abilities that one needs to survive. Weather or not you choose to use them is up to you. Every child is born with the ability to paint and to draw. Some people believe that this is silly or a waste of time. I think that it is the people around us that help either bring our or close up our natural abilities. Some teachers try and bring out the best in a student and some don't.

i believe every child is an artist because they all have a mind of their own. they can choose whatever they want to do, and how they want to do it. Like artists, kids until a certain age i believe, follow what they want and are open minded. but once you grow up, and become a teen, you follow what others do. you paint the same pictures that others do. you dont branch out and do things that you want, but instead you follow in the footsteps of others. i believe part of this is due to peer pressure. if only every child could grow up feeling as if they can paint their own picture, and not take one that has already been painted for them.

I think that this quote meens that every child has a imagination and they are creative. As the children grow into adults there imagination and creativness decreases. Unless you are a artist or something like taht. Then your imagination and creativeness is still good. For a child to keep all of their imagination and creativeness they just have to keep some of their childhood in them. They just have to keep it close to them. So they could be an artist or help kids and stuff like that.

Mr. Kay,
The quote Picasso said, "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up," is saying that every child is born with creativity and imagination, but as they get older it dies. In most cases I have seen this is true. Some adults are very bland in the artistic way. They don't really look at things with imagination and creativity. I'm not saying they don't understand art if they are old, they're imagination just doesn't seem as open as a child. Maybe it could be because a child doesn't no much especially compared to a grown up. This could effect it because maybe as a grown up in your realist life you might know a certain thing should be some how or somewhere in a painting or in a song or anything, then you might just say it cant be modified whereas a child is open to the modification in art. An example, a grown up will be making a painting and say a person can't be green where a child, with concrete thinking would say, there could be green people, and then they draw or paint it. I think a way to solve the problem in which Picasso is talking about is to keep the idea of art open to children as they grow.

Picasso is saying that a child has a great imagination, and when it gets older it starts to loose it. When people were young, they were care free and did whatever they wanted and didnt care what people thought of them. As they get older, their perceptions change and they care about how people think of them. Picasso is saying how can someone be an artist when their imagination is so dull and plain. When people are young, they can experiment with everything without being negitivley judged. The more they experiment, the bigger their imagination becomes. Adults seem like they dont have time to take a step back and relax, its like they always have tunnel vision on certain things they need to get done.
Sean Deters
Wasn't Picasso the one who did the Mona Lisa?? Anyway this is a very particular quote. It is right on. When we are kids we like to play with paint. I remember back in kindergarden they would give crayons and clay. Although I knew some kids would eat the clay. The second part of the qoute is true. As we get older our intrests change. I used to love to draw. But as I got older I just lost intrest. That is when music became my life. Most people suck at drawing. Only one person in my family can draw. That is my bubba.
I think this quote means that childern have really good imagination and as we grow up we kinda lose it. Kids like to draw and color and when they grow up they want to do other things besides using their imaginations. We have to learn how to keep it and no how to express are selfs. When we were little we always love to color or draw we didnt really care what other people thought cause we were all little and in a sense we were all the same.

What I think this quote means is that a child has the ability to do what ever it wants to. Like when they grow up they can become a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or even a police officer. If they know what they want to be then as they get older they can work on their goal and try to achieve it. Kids also can picture themselves of what they want to do when they grow up. Also, I think once a kid grows up and they decide on what they want to be and then they don't want to be it any more because their getting tired of it. For example doctors,and veterianarians. Thats What I think Pablo Picasso was saying.

In this quote, Picasso means that child are very imaginative when they are young. As children mature their imaginations diminish. They want to become more cool and part of a crowd. Whereas when they were kids, they wanted to be the leader and entertain people. They were always trying to think of ways to be the center of attention and be the focus point of everything. Children can do whatever they want, figureatively speaking. They have no standards to live up too. They can paint the picture that they want in life. Once they get older, they only revert back to that picture or leave it behind. There is nothing new in the picture as kids get older. The life they live becomes a routine they do daily without any new suprises or ideas. Once through college and into the working world, these adults only live the life that they have planned out for themselves.

I think that this quote means that children have great imagination and creativity like an artist. However, when growing up you lose a lot of that creativity. With a child's imagination, you would go very far in life. It allows you to think outside the box. Thinking in ways people before you and around you can't. You think in ways that some might even consider stupid. However, many great people who has effected the future which is now the present had to think outside the box. Such as Einstein and Beethoven. So if we were to hold onto our child imagination and creativeity we could acheive greatness.

every child has the potental to become an artist and become great. Every kid has a imagintion if their own and can do anything if they put their mind to it. they just have to try hard and become what they want. We can all be artist in our own way. Some peole may not look at art the way other poeople liik at art. They may seem some blobe and others may see some masterpiece. It just depends on how you look at things. So you have to find out what you are good at and what you see as art.

I think that Picasso is trying to say is how creative a child is. Then in the second part of the quote he exaplains how hard it is to stay an "artist". The child knows so little and has an open mind, unlike an adult. Few people stay an artist after growing up and as you get older it only gets worse. Childern play with toys and everything when the get older most of these activitys start to dispare. I see this in my child hood and most childern these days. Kids only belive in santa and the tooth fariy so long sooner or later they stop bevling.

I believe picasso is stating that in life a childs imagination is just non stop. Just streams and streams of the unthinkable. As the child gets older the imagination fades away. He starts to think as another adult would or was when they were an adult. And now at the grown stage with imagination basically deterated all chilish imaginations are a total joke to the human being. The adult still does contain any imaginations but some that a child would think of would never cross his mind. But to be honest i believe that just because one or someonehas grown there no reasone like before why that person shall not be able to think or express crazy or persoanl imaginations.
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." this means that no matter what, it is easy to lose track of mind of sight. this means, you can be young and have many idea's, but when you get older idea's come less often and
you must think of idea's. i dont understand this blog, this is my vague attempt of a reply >peace ouyt bruh, alex warner<
I think everyone has an artistic side when they begin life.As a kid i loved to paint and do arts and crafts.Now as im older it seems boring.Maybe some are afraid of bad criticism on there art as they get older.We lose an artistic view on life you could say.What else may happen is you never really ever think about it once you stop doing it in school and other things just seem more important.As a kid though you have time and interest in it.As you get out of school you really dont ay to yourself i want to paint a picture when i get home.So art becomes obselete except for those that are really well like Picasso.
Tyler McLeo 6th
I think this quote means that everyone has some talent in them. I beleive everyone has their own mind and can do woderful things. You just have to try and put some effort twoard somethign you really wanna do. Its all up to yourself what talents you have and what you dont have. Everyone is born with talent, just not everyon decides to show. Everony has an an imganation of their own. We have to learn how to keep thoughts and imganations and no how to express them. everyone has a talent its just your chose to show it or not.
Children have a bigger imagination than adults. Kids are more free-spirited, and i think very transcendental. Since they are this way, they can be more creative. As they grow they can lose this sence of mind and lose that special skill. Adults seem to be less open to new things, and ideas that children are open to. Children see stuff in a different view. Also, they may accept any theory or story and believe its true. So as an artists they have more of an open mind for ideas.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
I think Picasso is trying to say that kids have more of an imagination than adults. Kids don't think about things they just do it. Kids don't care about what others think. Adult minds are more complex than a young childs mind. As kids get older, they start to worry about what other people might think of them. Picasso is saying that as we grow up, we view things that used to bring us joy as childish and immature. I have seen this take place in the last 4 to 5 years of my life. I noticed that games I used to think were fun like "tag" and "hide and go seek" are now pretty boring. I think it is important for people to hold on to the "artist" within them throughout their life.
Cody Kabisa
I think this means that every child grows up in different environments. They have their own way of doing stuff. Like how they get around or how they communticate. But once you grow up you see a whole different world. They start conforming to what there friends are doing. They stop doing their own thing because their friends arn't doing it. But to stay an artist you would have to not care about what other people's trends are or what they do but only care about what makes you happy. Then you would be an artist on your own life instend of others lifes.
Zack Ruffin 6th
This quote's idea was also found (can't believe I'm gonna say this) in the breakfast club. "when you grow up...you die", okay so this quote is more of a "if" but still the same. For once you are a child, you have this time and low-to-no responsibility. As one gets older , however, many aspects of life change. There is less and less time to do artistic explorations, and then the artist must decide "should I stay a artist?". Feeling empathetic, I Believe that a decision (in my head)will be a various outcome(pertaining to the individual of coarse). Maybe you don't have to give up art, otherwise one might have to for priorities! If something was fun to me, I enjoyed it as a child, and had to think about giving it up, I would be thinking for a innumerable amount of time.

Everyone has some ability to be creative. Its what makes you for you. A child must put forth his/her effort to do so. creativity can be anything. Just thinking of something to do, different ways to do things. You choose what to do and what not do to. Theres nothing new to the picture, as you get older. unless you change how you live your life.
Mr. Kay,
I believe that this quote means that as a child, everyone is an artist. They are creative, inspiring, and imaginative. And the rest of the quote means that once you are grown up, you have moved past the stage of letting your mind wander. You are more focused on school, jobs, money, family,and friends. I think that alot of the time, the people have let go of the childish idol inside of them, and have moved in a more mature idol. I think that if you where the kind of person who was really just a happy - go - lucky person, that they might have an easier time keeping the artist inside of them.

I would like to believe that this quote means that every child has a potential star in them. Also that as a parent you need to inspire that inner star to do great things. I also think that the child needs to know how to do great things. For example an artist, and a photographer. Each of those things require high concentration and desire to succeed. I also think that he was trying to explain how innocent a child can be. Also how creative and open their minds are.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
Mr. Kay,
As a child all of us are somewhat creative. The problem is as we mature we lose that. We think that we are too cool to be creative and artistic. A child has no care in the world, therefore they dont care about what anyone else thinks. That is what leads to creativity. If you think about it this quote ties in with the them of transcendentalism. As an adult you must not worry about other people think but how your idea stands out creatively. As we grow old it is a hard trait to hold on to.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
-Pablo Picasso
to start off I think this means, is when your a child you usually stand out and do your own thing, but when you grow up, you grow out of alot...so the artistic side of you starts to fade away and in many in doesnt stay in them. But this always isnt true, you can make an effort to keep your artistic side alive, you DO NOT have to listen to other people when they tell you what to do, you are your own person. many things that we use to do when we were younger arent as amusing as they use to be, we should try n hold on to what you have now before you start to change, cuzz the artist within you could peace out...but all together its your decision to keep your artist inside you.

I think that Picasso is explaining how people are beautiful when they are young. Their soules are so innocent. When people grow we are more suceptible to evil and dark things. This is why people say with age comes knowlegde. Just like in this case, with age comes experience. When people get older some of this may get to them, and they may no longer become so beautifully innocent. I think that in most cases people are able to vercomw the evil and bad things theynare faced with.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
-Pablo Picasso
I think that this quote means that any child can dream whatever they want to. But when that child gets older, they lose that ability to dream like that. As if their imagination goes down the drain slowly but surely. So what this quote is saying is that children need to try to keep that imagination or that ability to dream. Otherwise they end up with a job they never wanted. And that job probably ends up being something that they hate to do. Thats the worst type of job you could get.

Mr. Kay,
What this quote is saying is that when you are a child you can paint any picture that you want. When your a kid u can "paint" your future with all the ideas that you have. As you grow up you dont have as many ideas so hes saying that you would like to stay like that as you grow up. Also, when you grow up you should want to paint a different picture everyday expressing yourself in life. When you are born you have no guidlines or restrictions to what you can be in life. You can have the biggest dreams ever and it will be ok because you can be whatever you want when you are young.

When we are young we have all of our own ideas that we can just create whatever we want. We have such big imaginations that our creativity is influenced by which makes our ideas new, different, and most of the time the coolest thing. When we grow up we are so eeffected by everyone around us and everything we see that our imagination slowly disappears. We start to see other people's ideas and art that we like and then we start to copy what we see. That's the problem that an artist has their own ideas and when you're copying someone else, you're not such a great artist. Individualism plays a big part in artists, because they act themselves and thay write, paint, or draw the things you see. Confidence is big when being an artist because when we grow older people will call the things we say or do weird, we take it the wrong way. But is difference such a bad thing?

To remain an artist once you grow up is easier said than done. You need to keep that imagination you had in childhood. Going to school helps you grow up but robs you of some of that imagination. My Mom tells me that is why we like to play video games, because it lets us use our imagination. The real world doesn’t accept us using our imagination unless it benefits where we work. An artist has to stay creative while battling the non-creative world. He helps us see like when we were a child.
Taylor Dieck
This quote is saying that children when they are younger are very artistic. They see things in a different light. While we go to work and focus on real problems, they day dream and have imaginary friends. I think what Picasso is trying to say is, when we grow up we lose our sense of imgination and we only live in the real world. However some people still have the pleasure of seeing things in a different way. Artist are different people. While most people in the world try to solve the problem in front of them, artist are busy trying to create something to put in front of them. I think children have little problems in life so they can have imginations and have fun creating things.
i think that this quote means that every child has a art gene they just have to exercise it to make it stronger. to make it stronger you just have to take your time and try to make the thing that you are trying to make look good. every one that is born is a artist because they already know how to draw. everyone has a lot of interesting pictures in there head. the thing is that we need to learn how to put it onto paper. to become a good artist is to spend a lot of time into doing it. it is not hard to be a artist you just have to practice at it like everything else.
Pablo Picasso's quote means a child is born an artist because children have wondering minds. Children sort of "paint the future" with there ideas and beliefs. Children can choose to do what they want in life and dream. They also can think of something the way they want to. For example "cup half full or half empty?". The way children can have such a strain keeping there artistic skills would be from other people changing there ideas. If someone teaches you when your young that a dog looks like this, or a house looks like that, You would believe it. If no one taught you how you should be, your imagination would be different. Instead of always thinking and doing things normal you would think "outside the box" and have a new affect on life and society. People that have wondering imaginations may do something important for us and mayby help us in the long run. If children stay artists and not always be taught ways they dont want to the world would be different.
Hunter White
Uhm in my own opinion I think he is trying to say everyone has the capability of being original, but usually children start following the crowd when the grow up, or something like that idk. Like usually you loose your imagination at a certain age (obviously I haven't ahahah). Or it could mean something to do with drawing honestly I don't know. Like he could be saying all 3 year old's are absolutely amazing at drawing but 20 year old's suck. Or like little 3 year old's have a better imagination so there pictures are more interesting than a 30 year old who is into business. 2 sentences short, sorry. I honestly couldn't think of anything to write after the first 2 I wrote. I'll post 9 or something in my next one to make up for it aight?

p.s. so does anyone know how lunch is working? like do all of the sophomores have lunch together? cuz if so that would be pretty rad.
Everyone has a vivid imagination when they are younger, and they have trouble keeping their imagination when they grow up. Once people become adults they get so caught up in whats going on in their life that they forget to have fun. it seems like all the adults right now are worried about the falling economy instead of staying positive, and all the kids are still have their same mindset. I think that ill keep my imagination when im older because i know i worry about school and everything, but i have a great imagination and am always thinking positivly. Artists could also represent people expressing their feelings outloud. Many children just blurt out what they feel, with no worries. Adults that are stuck in a career seem to just listen to what their boss's say and have no response of how they feel. I won't ever give up my imagination, and i want to find a career where i can use my imagination.
i think this quote means every child starts out with a clean slate. they can make whatever future for themselves they want. this also goes along with how innocent a young child is, they dont get cuaght up in prejudices or hold grudges on a person just becuase how they look. thats why pablo Picasso is trying to express the importance of being a good influence on your child. at that age their very impressionable. also becuase of that, kids are great learners at a young age becuase they dont have anything holding them back. so i think the author of this quote is trying to express the importance of young children in a society.
Andy B, 6th hour
I think it means everyone has a imagination as a child. But it changes as they grow older becuase of everyone else. Like they may think of a great guitar riff or drum beat but be shut down by everyone else. People could keep their artistic abilty by ignoreing others people negative opinons. And enjoying other peoples positive opinons. They could also apply it into their work areas or just in their homes. Which I belive people should do so their not negative and creative.
keivn anderson 6th hour
In my opinion, this quote means that when you are a child you are filled with creativity and imagination. And then as you get older, its hard to keep that creativity and imagination. Its always hard to hold on to your child life, and innocence. But what Picasso is saying is to try to hold on to your child life a little longer. Also children always have a better percpective on art. Where as you get older that goes away a lot. So basically, Picasso is saying that growing up, can be a difficult part of life.
I believe this quote is saying that every child has the ability to be creative. It is also saying that how you are raised will ultimately determine if you remain to be creative. I think many young children and artist in general express there feelings and thoughts through art work. And if it is taken away from them it could be crucial to they way the grow and learn. I know for a fact that my parents encouraged the use of art to bring out my creative side. I think that people should help make there kids creative by making them do art then explaining why they did there artwork. I think this would help with there social skills and bring out there creativity.

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
-Pablo Picasso
My understanding of the quote is that everyone is something when they are young. It's just harder to hold onto that dream when we start growiung up, because we realize that some of our ideas are farfetched, and we give up.
When I was a child, I first wanted to be someone famous, like a singer or actress. Until I was ten, I wanted to drive a pink convertable...of course, I'm stuck with something less luxurious. And definately something not pink.(I hate pink now. it's such a terrible color...)A run-down red Thrunderbird with a cracked windsheild and no dashboard. At least everything still works..
After this whole Barbie-like phase of my younger years, I wanted to be a famous artist and work for Disney. That's where I started working my rear end off to get my art to it's present state. From mutated figures, to animals, to manga, my art style changed over the course of five years. Actually, since I could pick up a pencil/crayon/marker, I would draw until I ran out of ideas or I got tired. That's how it was when the world didn't care about what I did. It was all fun ang games then. But now, I have to work my brain to a beaten pulp to comprehend the square root of -24.
Out of all these things, most of them are what I am not. The Barbie fantasy was to believe that I am someone special. The artist thing isn't working out. And the only thing I'm good at acedemically is that I can spell and be sarcastic until my arms fall off.
No matter how hard I have tried to reach my goals both privatley and in school, I cannot seem to achieve any of them. The only thing I can do right is draw a pretty picture. I'm nothing short of amazing. I'm just me.

ps.
i'm not sure i actually touched onto the point of the quote, but oh well. That pink convertable thing was embarassing to say. -_-
this quote is based off of transendentalism. every artist has their own unique ideas and uses them in different ways. some paint,draw,sculpt, weld, mold,compose, or play their individualism into a work that can be interpreted for others. always think of something that you like the best and don't conform with others when you run out of ideas. also it could incorporate the idea of being physically old but spiritually young. a person could be very lively in their youth years and either keep the youth within them or let it slip away from them. a lot of people complain about how old they are, but if you really tried to be young on the inside i don't think it would be half as bad.it all depends on how you want to keep your spirit alive.
ANDREW KEITH 6TH
I believe this quote is saying that everyone is capable of the same, not matter who they are. Its all a matter of raising them in a way that builds upon this ability. Younger children have a wild imagination, and, if the child is artistic enough, he may use this to his advantage in painting, writing, or even playing musically. Thus said, if a parent feeds any of these tendencies, the child may hold onto them until their later years, and may become someone great in the artistic world. Additionally, while a child's mind is imaginitive, it is also pure and uncorrupt. Having not been through any emotional trauma, the childs works of art may be ones of siplicity, but also of joy and happiness, love, and peace.
I believe this quote is trying to say that every child has their own uniqueness and their own creativity. For instance, when a child draws you a picture it's actually how they feel, or how they interpret their surroundings. When the child grows up, they change. That's completely normal, everyone changes as they get older, wiser and have a better understanding. If that same child were to draw a picture now, it would be completely different. There are so many things in this world that can influence a child's opinion on life. For example an action movie, with all the shooting. They might draw a picture with violence. When the child is young there like a flower before it blooms, peaceful and innocent. After it blooms it's wild and beautiful. Basically, Picasso is trying to explain the creativity in a child's mind and how it differs as the child grows.

In this qoute there are a couple different ways you can look at this. First of all it is saying that when you grow up you still have to have fun. Also, to always have a child side no matter your doing because it can always make it better. Plus if you loose you child side then how are you suppose to do anything that is fun. Whether it be some project at work or a vacation it won't be easy to have a good time. Also, the child side in you can make everything more interesting and can help excpecially in your job if you have to create something. Another thing is having fun makes time go by faster which is always good when doing something boring. Last thing is i think this relates back the qoute friday because if you choose to have fun from your child side then when doing work why comsider it work.
Ty Bouwens, 6th hour
This quote basically means that when you are a child, you are very creative and think outside the box at all times. However, when you grow up, after all your values are taught to you, you loose the want to think outside the box. The creative ablity is lost to the conformist ideas of society and prevent us from being a so called artist. We are so inclined to do things right that we don't even realize that there are other more unethical ways to do things. This quote by Picasso perfectly illustrates how our world has become these days. You see, when people are young, they tend to use abstract thinking, but when people grow up they turn to a more ethical way of reasoning and might even lose the ability to look as things abstractly. It is definately a difficult part of life everyone must face.
I think that Picasso is trying to say how a child starts off with no prejudice toward anything, allowing their imaginations to be free from bias. Others cannot impose their beliefs on children, because they cannot understand them. Children are free to think and believe what they want. Having this unknown freedom is one of a child's greatest gifts. They can develop their own beliefs on the world without others interfering. This freedom of mind only lasts so long until slowly the child begins to understand what others say and take it in. They lose this freedom to think without prejudice unknowingly, because they do not realize that they are forming any preconceptions. Picasso is reflecting this idea through art. At a young age, somebody gives you a blank piece of paper and allows you to color freely. Then, they give you a paper with lines on it to color inside of, but nobody really minds if you color in them or not. Later, you are expected to be able to color inside the lines neatly. Most kids draw inside the lines because they feel like that is what they are supposed to do. You are slowly changed from your original ways into a conformed way, and it can be difficult to form your own style of drawing. The same is true about life. Once you start to form ideas about things based on others' thoughts, it is hard to make your own ideas and follow them.

This quote applies to many many people in the world. A lot of people grow up to fast or just think they have to be more mature for one reason or another. I think that being a little kid and having that limitless creativity is one of the best times in life. Life is so carefree and easy. Once more stress gets added, people grow up and forget that peaceful feeling. The world would be a happier, healthier place if people could just reach inside and find that happiness. The creativity is still there you just have to find it and not be afraid to use it. Some people have the creativity and perspective but are afraid to show it because of what other people might think. People need to move past that and show their inner child. Have some fun.
This quote expresses the jadedness accompanied with growing old. When your in your youth the world is yours. You paint a vivid picture containing your views on the world. Thats what an artist is, someone who creates their idea, someone who creates their own world. In time creativeness decreases and people stop caring. When you were younger the world was yours, to view it ideally. As you grow up corruption occurs and the world is nothing more than what your told it is.

I think this quote means that every child has an idea that they choose to accomplish and finish and as they grow older they lose their reasons to accomplish something. Every child has something they want to do when they are younger and they work towards that want. As that person gets older they accomplish that goal and then they don't want to do it again. That person has lost interest in what they were doing when they were younger and that's what Picasso is trying to say. This quote is very true and it does make sense.

I do believe this quote can be true, but i also believe it can be false.
the truth: there are a lot of kids, who, in this world, see the true beauty of everything. because, they have not been judged to think otherwise. i am most certainly glad to say i was once this child, who saw the inner beauty in everything. then, to put it quite correctly, the shit hit the fan, and i was pulled into reality. i witnessed 5 or more funerals before i was 10. I hate to say this, which contradicts itself,(again) but no child should ever have to go through that mental proces, because we can not. WE CAN NOT process death
WE CAN NOT properly cope with loses
WE CAN NOT ever make sense of why it happened
WE CAN NOT believe this happened to us.
AND
WE WILL NEVER get over it. the inner child inside all of us will never leave, and we will never forget those incomprehensible moments, because every free second i have, i honestly still try to process it. we all try to, but we will never find out, and never have an answer we like.
thats when the shit hit the fan for me, and i was no longer considering myself a child anymore. sadly, that was in maybe 3rd grade. i remember that very day that my grandmother had died, and there was not anything i could do; and i F***ing hate it each and every day that i did not go with my mom to see her last hours.
sorry, i have to take a break here.
wow. thanks mr. kay. this got me provocted enough, to the point where i was crying over my mistakes, and my faulty choices. I thank you, because i haven't cried like that, in, well, since about june 23rd. i know that, because that day, i was told, that i was a F**K up of a leader, and that really hit me hard. So, Thanks again, because it was really needed.
anyways. i'm not going to my dark side, because, after crying, it went away from me, and that burden of indescribable pain, has ben lifted from me. so if your keeping a compliment count, you got 2 now, because a great pain has been lifted from my shoulders, all thanks to your questions.
even today, i can still see the inner beauty of everyone. and those who have put in hard work, to make an honest living. and now, i wish there was a way i could help. i am not disclosing names, but i wish i could help this person, in any way possible, because i could see her inner beauty, and her striving to do what is right.
i believe we can all see the true light of goodness, and that there may be some people in our class, that could have shut that out from their lives forever. "some peoples choice work to your advantage."
"wether or not you choose to see the beauty of life, an all that is wonderful and full of bliss, is your choice. what a shame, cause you are missing out!"
thank you in so many indescribable way for helping me crawl out of the downward spiral i was heading in mr. kay.

P.S. tyler, i will rant if i want. lawl.
I believe this quote means that everyone paints their own picture. No one paints a picture for you. Meaning that, dont let anyone tell you what you can and cant do in life because you are the artist and you pint what you want. As we tend to get older we begin to loose the child in ous and start becoming like oneanother and are (how i like to say it) robots. We dont paint our own pictures anymore we just add on to eachothers.
Mr.kay,
I think this qoute means that we all have an imagination. When were little we don't care what anyone thinks and do things are own way. I think when he says this quote he dosnt directly aim it towards drawing but more of an artist of there own life. When were little we make things the way we want them to be. As we get older we begin loseing ourselves in our and other peoples lives. We have less time for ourselves and we don't see imagination as a priority and so we leave it aside. I think that what Picasso wants us to realize is that haveing that creativity and imagination is a gift not something to just brush aside because we don't have the time for it.

I think that Picasso is trying to say is how creative a child is. Then in the second part of the quote he exaplains how hard it is to stay an "artist". The child knows so little and has an open mind, unlike an adult. Few people stay an artist after growing up and as you get older it only gets worse. Childern play with toys and everything when the get older most of these activitys start to dispare. I see this in my child hood and most childern these days. Kids only belive in santa and the tooth fariy so long sooner or later they stop bevling.
