Toot

Slightly frustrated by a feeling that…

As a society, we could be far better at encouraging accessible creativity and creative play.

We're reasonably good at getting kids doing cutting and gluing and drawing and painting. These are nice accessible making mediums. That's great.

But I suspect there might be lots of mediums where easy accessible creative tools probably exist (or nearly exist), but aren't widely available to kids or other people wanting to try the medium out.

I'm thinking about music making, for example.

Loop pedals are probably a really awesome tool for exploring with music making, but not many homes have them, they're not generally optimised to easy use by children and easy to set up correctly?

I suspect this probably applied for other things too?

I think I'd enjoy a society that really prized encouraging creativity and very powerful but very accessible tools (where these can exist).
