My favorite creative person is Neil Buchanan. I got to know him on one of the programs in Disney’s channel, Art Attack.
To my surprise, Neil was originally a musician instead of an artist. He used to be in a rock band called Marseille.
Neil grew up in Aintree, Liverpool. He has been interested in art since he was very young. However, when he entered the Liverpool Art College, they told him that he wasn’t good enough. As the result, he walked out without looking back.
Neil set up the program, Art Attack, about twelve years ago. And now, the program is seen in 32 countries, including six non-English speaking countries where there is a different presenter.
Whenever Neil comes up a new idea, he’ll sketch it down roughly, and his fantastic team working for the program will develop his idea and break them into the stage. His two daughters are also his helper. Neil will show his new idea to them, and if they give him a thumb up, the idea will stay in the program, and comes out if they give him a thumb down.

His program can be actually separated into two parts.
In the first one he’ll teach us how to do some little and easy art craft with easy usual materials, such as resin, expired news paper, milk bottles etc. it’s really interesting and useful when I have to make some decorations.
The other part is called “big art attack”. It’s my favorite part!!! In it, he’ll appear in a special place like a discarded house or a harbor, and then, he’ll use materials he can get from the place to puzzle a big picture. However, after browsing through his website, to me a little disappointed, those pictures have been designed beforehand. But still, it didn’t change my favor to it, after all, he will be a true genuine if he makes all those pictures right on the scene!!
From his experience, I learned that we can’t easily give up when we are defeated. We shall still stick to our thought but only change our way to present them. And also, even we’re genuine in something, we still have to listen to others’ thoughts, therefore we can do a better job than do it by ourselves.
