Blank Canvas, Blank Page

Today’s keynote speaker: John Leguizamo.

In his on stage interview, discussing his children’s book, Kiki and the Can, he was asked, “What does a blank canvas represent?”

“Opportunity.”

His book is about a young boy, Kiki, using a spray can to express himself through urban community art.

“The spray can is what you plan to do with your talents and gifts,” Leguizamo continues.

What if we frame this same question around a blank page? Rather than view it as intimidating, what opportunity does a blank page hold?

  1. Whenever I would open a new post to write for the SOL challenge, I would be nervous because majority of the time, I didn’t know what to write. I love how this sentence, “What if we frame this same question around a blank page? Rather than view it as intimidating, what opportunity does a blank page hold?” reframes how we should view a blank page. Thank you so much for sharing, this was a great slice!
