TED: The art of paying attention | Wendy MacNaughton

The video explores how drawing can change perceptions and enhance observation skills. It begins with a discussion on childhood drawing experiences and how perceptions are formed. Participants are guided through a drawing exercise to focus on looking rather than creating perfect art. The speaker shares personal stories illustrating the power of drawing from life, including a library project and a bootmaker encounter. During the pandemic, the Draw Together initiative was launched to help children process emotions through drawing. The video emphasizes the importance of looking closely at the world and people around us.
