My
creative urges develop early in my life. A few people were convinced of
them. They wrote about it in my school leaving certificates and school
report cards, indicating there is a future for it. These were
important for planting the love of anything creative in later years. It
is for these reasons that we need people to inspire us in our lives ,
even in three little words.
So when I reflect on my encounters with creativity, I like to categorise them in four major periods.
I
will write these periods as they become relevant during the time of
writing as and when I encounter the need for blogging them.
Therefore
today I will just blog on the 'Rough Pad ' Years. This was a time of
intense writing on plain rough pads, which I used in the years
1973-1974. But look there's something extra that I did . I began to do
sketches in the rough pads. These were done while observing behaviours of
people in classes I attended in the university days. Some were just
afterthoughts in sketches of, course.
Here is a pullout collection of a few of those sketches.
The
rough pads are an example of the 'Young Man as Artist 'period.
