Insight Of What Creativity Is.

Insight of what creativity is?



A few years ago not only did I think you had to be talented to be creative but I thought to be creative you had to have some master plan of how you would like to incorporate your master piece,i thought creativity was for those who painted on a daily basis ,took random pictures and made something out of it,looked up and thought of ideas instantly and built different kind of crafts and got acknowledged for it.

But I was wrong until I came into contact with getting to know who Austin Kleon  the author of  the reader Steal Like An Artist is.He taught me what  creativity is in so many ways.Through him I learnt that creativity is anything you admire and make a creation out of, it could be creating a craft that doesn't look so pleasant but through creating that craft you had to think out of the box and had to think of ideas and brainstorm and that's what makes creativity,doing something in your own unique way differently from everybody else. I learnt that creativity isn't only working with your hands but creativity can literally be anything, it doesn't necessarily have to be entertaining nor be boring. Through Austin Kleon I realized that you can totally be yourself  within any kind of creation. I gained that the world is too small and you should make everything out of  it by expressing yourself in so many ways possible. Austin Kleon highlights that sometimes its not about what people think or feel but its about making everything about yourself by just doing and being you.
The advantages about having Steal Like An Artist as a reader is that we could bring out our inner creativity as well without even realizing it which got to make ourselves know  more about our capabilities. Sometimes its not always about being talented.
I would like to advice you to try and get to know more about the reader and read the storyline of "10 things nobody told you about being creative" by Austin Kleon.

  3. Check this article out that describes creatives as normal people with just a spilion for using resources that are already available...nothing close to "painters or having "creative talent"
