This talk by Alex McKell, delves into the question: should artwork be graded in an educational setting? Alex considers the impacts this can have including demonstrations to highlight why this is an important question. Grab a pencil and take part to learn something about yourself! Alex studied Art and Psychology and has since combined these subjects in her professional practice. She is always learning and being creative in as many ways as possible. Her goal is to encourage creativity in those who believe themselves incapable and show that the enjoyment of being creative is far more important than the results themselves. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
