Here is the selfie Mrs. Kushner took with Phil Hansen when she met him at the National Art Education Conference in San Diego during March 2014. On the right is a photo of Mr. Hansen speaking to a crowd of art teachers about the power of limitations to help you become more creative. "We need to first be limited in order to become limitless." - Phil Hansen |

He shows that you can achieve good things by embracing a disability which is nice to see.

I think it was so cool! Sometimes I think we have to remember that some of the most successful people in the world have been the most limited and that having limitations doenst mean anything.

It really inspired me to see that you can, at times, actually create more with limitations than given the whole world to work with. I feel that is something that we should all realize can make us better at whatever we aspire to be. It also amazes me that he took what was "wrong" with him and created something amazing.

I think it's amazing that he was able to use his limitations of "outside the box" to basically recreate the box entirely. I feel like it would be difficult to think like that, but once you stop thinking then it would flow to you. I hope if we decide to do a project like that that we could be half as a amazing as he was.

I think his work shows you can do anything with any type of thing. The project that stuck out to me was the picture as a whole made out with stories of others. all of his projects were very beautiful and entertaining and intresting

I found it really motivational how he embraced his disability and made beautiful art from it. To me it shows that instead of letting things are bad about you bring you down, you should let them uplift you.
