Combine an abandoned gas station, a giant wind chime, the song "Jingle Bells" and shareable sketchbooks and you get the work of artist Brian Mallman. In his TEDx talk, Mallman discusses how the act of drawing can change the way you look at the world and potentially make it a more peaceful place.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
