Welcome to the INSPIRE page!
A page of links to inspire your creativity. Please share your recommendations with me in class and I will make additions as quickly as I can. Have fun! Grab your sketchbook and make notes, sketches, reflections, etcetera and make something new. As Kirby Ferguson notes in his TED talk all creativity is a remix; copy, transform, combine. What will you be inspired to create?
