Pitch:
Do you doodle in boring meetings? You are not alone. Many successful people, such as Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs and J.K. Rowling, used drawing and sketching to generate ideas, solve problems and express their vision. What do they have in common? They all invoked the ancient Greek muse of drawing and sketching, Polyhymnia, who inspired and guided them.
