Creative imagination can push pre-existing boundaries to thought and action. Inspirational models can inspire us to move beyond these limits. Michaelangelo's statue of David represented an entirely new way of depicting the human form and ushered in an entirely new way of rendering art.
Michaelangelo understood the marble he was working with. People using creative imagination to create something new need to understand the medium in which they are creating. Our economy is evolving and there are opportunities for those with creative imaginations to create something entirely new from the medium available.
One challenge is to find positive models to serve as inspiration in the way David inspires other sculptors and artists.
