I Thought I’d Lost My Marble
Oil o Canvas
Elon Musk, in 2021, said "It's easier to put a man on Mars than to change the school system."
Imagine a world where children are psychometrically tested at the outset of their education, discovering in which of the eight (some say nine) types of intelligence their strengths lie.
Imagine teaching those children based on these discoveries. We learn so easily what we are innately adept in.
Imagine the successful, fulfilling, happy lives those kids could lead if they knew their true vocation early on.
Imagine telling the kids who love and are good at playing marbles, dancing or sport,
"You have bodily kinesthetic intelligence. One day you may grow up to be an athlete, a surgeon, a craftsman or a dancer.
Bodily kinesthetic intelligence is just one of the intelligences Jayne highlights in her “Innate” series. It’s the capacity to manipulate objects and use a variety of physical skills.

About Jayne Curle
Jayne Curle emigrated from Scotland in 2006 and now resides on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Her work is primarily influenced by her life experience and consequent views. Working in oils, Jayne translates these experiences into a contemporary visual of contrast using her own manipulated photographs as a reference. Themes of compassion, nostalgia and the necessity for change feature heavily in her work as well as occasional humour in the corresponding narrative. Jayne was a finalist in The National Emerging Art Prize, Sydney in 2023 and a semifinalist in The Doug Moran National Portrait Prize in 2021.
