There was a saying that left handers have an artistic mind and one of the quotes that give out a message and a clue what makes a good left hander, here is what makes a left hander 'Imaginative'. “Left-handers are wired into the artistic half of the brain, which makes them imaginative, creative, surprising, ambiguous, exasperating, stubborn, emotional, witty, obsessive, infuriating, delightful, original, but never, never, dull.” (Quoted by: James T deKay and Sandy Huffaker from The World’s Greatest Left-Handers: Why Left-Handers are Just Plain Better than Everybody Else). A Talent that I never dreamt of having…. When I first started going to school and starting my life as a learner in Nursery, I didn’t know I had a hidden talent in me and thought everyone will be similar as me and no other person will be unique. When I started my first year in Year one, my teacher was an art fan, every day was an art lesson. She was one of the creative teachers in my Primary school and most of the art lessons were about Vincent Van Gough Paintings. I use to remember drawing his Sun Flowers many times and from all the members of the class I had the resemble illustration of his painting, but it wasn’t sketch perfect. It didn’t take a day to realize by my classmates and my teacher to realize I was an artist in the class and I had a talent in creativity. I took this in as a compliment and didn’t believe in myself I was a creative person and I thought everyone is creative in the world, not just me. Since that lesson, I have been getting a number of my classmates coming to me for creativity help and most of the time it was like a job for me, so I helped them and gave them some advice in sketching things as still life, abstract, animation and nature. I was 5 at the time when I started to draw a lot of Vincent Van gogh paintings, sadly though my teacher ran of with those paintings and didn't allow us to take them home :)
