Description
Creativity is everywhere, and everyone is creative. Our instinct to draw, tell stories, invent, dance, perform and make music starts when we're babies, and it's as old as humanity itself. Did you know that our ancestors were using pigment to make paintings 17,000 years ago, or that a children's orchestra in Paraguay uses instruments made from recycled materials? Discover why we have such a strong urge to create and how our creativity has made the world a better place.
