Creative Report: Questions for Louise Lockhart

These are the initial questions I decided to ask, specific to Louise Lockhart, looking at what she thinks of art in education, her business, being self employed and how she got to where she was today. It's important to look at her as a creative and see what her experience at school was like and how she got into the creative art subjects and also the creative industry. I also thought it would be interesting to get an opinion of someone who isn't a teacher or in the education system, to see what she thought of art in schools and the importance of it. 
 I also asked her about her career now and what it's like having your own business, both the good and bad. I didn't ask her about how she got to where she was, because she already carried out a talk at university explaining this. 

• When did you first realise that you were creative?

• Did any teachers inspire you at school to get into the creative industry?

• How important do you think art is for children when growing up?

• What was your experience at university (if you went)  both good and bad?

• Did you find it hard to find yourself and your own creative style?
  Is it hard to balance having your own time and work time?
