themes
- on how kids draw and what we can learn from that
Summary
notes
- a sort of “aliveness” to kids drawings that don’t get reproduced when you try to copy them
- drawing is a “form of dreaming” and our task is to let our curiosity follow what it suggests
- same idea as idea is driving
- comics subvert our expectations of needing to draw a certain way
- we learn to find alive things because we expect to find them
- “we looked at them [things] like they could look back”
