Keynote: The Creative Technologist
summary
Claim: creativity is a learnable skill, not an innate trait, with measurable gains after weeks of practice — one person improves drawings in about a month and a half using Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Techniques include contour drawing and turning photos upside down to silence the inner critic, daily sketching or sketchnoting for retention, and using an iPad with Procreate to record strokes. Reported effects: easier access to flow, better pattern spotting, more gratitude, and a 29% memory boost from doodling.
