creative reflection

Write 500-600 words reflecting on your experience this semester.   What did you learn about creativity and your own creative styles?  I learned that creativity can be so much more than just art and music. Before this class, I didn't really have a grasp on what creativity really meant. Now, I know that creativity is everywhere and you can find it if you just look. My own creative style is still making a piece of art or music, but I learned about myself that I am good at making movements like a play.  What did you learn about your work habits and the process of completing large projects and how to get work done?  I learned to always do what you can and don’t put your work off. On some projects we had in this class, I put off work until the end which made it stressful. I also learned to do what you can as soon as possible.  What did you learn about working in a group and collaborating?  I learned that working in a group is the best and most fun for me. Creativ...

Creativity Quotes

 Twyla Tharp: The creative habit  "The first steps of a creative act are like groping in the dark: random and chaotic, feverish and fearful, a lot of busy-ness with no apparent or definable end in sight." "Metaphor is the lifeblood of all art..." Create The Future  "To inspire action, you must create urgency"  "A motivated team can achieve the impossible." Creative Lego "That's kind of how creativity works. Sometimes the thing you're working on is following someone else's plan." "It's OK if you don't know how it will turn out. It's OK if you don't have an instruction set. Creativity almost never comes with a nice set of photos guiding you to the finished product." Guide to Creativity "it’s difficult to wrap your head around the actual concept of creativity." "Creativity and intelligence are part of the same construct (they’re basically the same thing)"

Reflection

Reflection Some difficulties we had with the project included lighting, creating the mood and making movements. We were not sure at first how to do the lighting and just had a spotlight. We were not sure how to portray the sadness in our piece with the lights. However, 1 day before we presented our piece we had an idea to put a blue spotlight on me to show the loneliness and sadness. Creating the mood of sadness was not only difficult with the lighting, but also with our movements. In our rough draft, we were all over the place. It took a lot of brainstorming to figure out new movements for our piece that showed sadness. An easy part of the piece would be the title. It did not take a lot of thinking to come up with the name "loney trees", and it worked perfectly for our piece. Something surprising about our piece was how long it took to brainstorm the middle of the piece where I am lonely. What changed the most from the beginning to the ending of the project was at first in o...

Creation Reflection

-Explain where you got the most information I got the most information from my artist. He brought out creativity in me through nature's colors.  -where you got stuck or frustrated I got stuck when I wanted to find out what I was going to make for my project. It took me a while to find out what tangible object I wanted to create.  -how did your partner artist help you He helped me realize how I could incorporate colors with nature to make art.  -if your final creation was what you set out to do originally No, at first I wanted to make a christmas tree ornament. -Include your thoughts about your critique My critiques helped me realize some of the flaws I had in my creation through others.  -if you made the second iteration of your creation, what would you change? (minimum 100 words) I would want to make the lure more stable and steady, where It could be used for longer. And also try to use to to see if it works. I would also try to make more of a fish body with the flo...
