- What is your dream job?
- What would you do if you had a million dollars?
- Imagine that you are on the tallest building in New York City. What do you see?
- What if you were a snowflake, what would your day be like?
- Imagine if you met a genie and were granted 3 wishes. What would they be? Why?
- What would you do if you were on a boat in the middle of the ocean and your boat springs a leak?

Yo! Ms. Yo! I'm an artist, a painter and I was impressed when I saw the word 'you' in every one of the ten suggestions. When I talk to kids about art I always tell them to never to be intimidated. No one cares how smart you are or how good you are. All they care about is you. All they want to see in your work is YOU. And if YOU'RE not in there somewhere - they won't be either.
P.S. My wife's a teacher and she tells her kids the same thing when she talks to them about writing.
