Who Can Draw?
I can already tell that this is the sort of session that will make me wish I brought a camera with me. Wahl opened with a woman playing the keyboard and singing "God Bless the USA" while he quickly painted a striking image of the Statue of Liberty. After his applause he said he brought another canvas with him, and asked, "Who here can draw?"
Unsurprisingly, following his display of talent, the only response from the audience was laughter. "Don't feel bad," he said. "I've asked that question of financial executives, sales executives, healthcare executives -- I'm lucky to get even one person to respond.
"But if I go to a high school and ask that question, I get 10, maybe 15 percent hands raised.
But if I go into a preschool -- any preschool -- and ask who can draw, how many do you think say they can draw?"
Of course, the answer is -- all of them.
