Response to Phil Hansen's "Embrace the Shake" speech
(http://www.ted.com/talks/phil_hansen_embrace_the_shake) While watching this video, I saw how being affected by a disability could lead to further creativity. In Phil Hansen's case with his nerve damage, he learned to "embrace the shake" and create unique artwork. He enjoyed creating art pieces by using stippling. When he could not accomplish it easily because the dots would take on a malformed shape, he started practicing by scribbling on a canvas. Soon, he created pieces using his scribbles in a tactic similar to stippling. He has also explored other mediums, such as using his feet to paint a canvas or using three-dimensional objects such as wood planks and burning these objects to form two-dimensional objects from a certain viewpoints. His use of unique methods to create his artwork was inspiring and as an artist, I learned that disability does not prevent an artist from pursuing his or her dreams.
