Week 10: C R E A T I V I T Y

“Creativity is a double-edged sword. The more ideas we have, the less likely we are to stay loyal to one. So the creative mind ends up jumping from idea to idea, and none of them happen. There is no correlation between how great an idea is and the likelihood of it happening.” — Scott Belsky

Okay, just so this doesn't go on too long, let’s focus on the most mind boggling thing here. Do you even know what creativity is? It’s not putting something on paper that’s for sure! Creativity is a mental thing! Maybe you can’t draw in any way shape or form. If you can think you can be creative! The definition of creativity has been a subject of debate for many. The definition of creativity for me is that, “Creativity is combining ideas that have never been combined before to form new ideas.” The creative part of art is about what the image, not what medium or platform you use! Going to the platform or medium specifically, you don’t just press a button and let the computer do it for you. I'm sure you will agree, that would take 0 creativity, but it DOESN’T work like that. You plan out an image, and use the tools provided to take your mental image and put it on the screen. Each one of us is creative in our own way. To enhance your creativity, you should not think twice but many times. To be creative you must consider new ideas. Give yourself time to explore and develop your skills before you test them. As an artist, don't wait for the perfect time to arrive that you will show your works. You also need an inspiration for you to become more creative. Having an inspiration will lead you to become more creative and successful for your future works someday.
