The artist doesn’t emerge from the work done but from the pursuit of creativity. Time to seek creativity is planned.
- The number one misconception of creativity: ‘Artists are creative’.
Some people believe that to be creative, you must be an artist with the natural talent to sing, write, or draw.
However, creativity can be cultivated through experiences, and by actively pursuing a creative lifestyle. Julia Cameroon’s, The Artist’s Way is one of the best books on this subject. The concept of an artist’s date is one of the most important ways to explore creativity, even if you are a scientist by profession.
- Creativity is the solution to problems that are bugging us.
After you have used tried and proven theories, you have to start finding creative solutions to a problem. There’s an engineer or business person who believes that there’s a better way to do something.
Innovation and creativity are backdrops of change to what once was an obstacle in our lives. The energy crisis is resolved when more people, who are electrical engineers and scientists pursue creative solutions.
It is futile to continue studying what you have already evaluated to find a new solution. To get unstuck in the same place you once found yourself, life-changing answers are discovered in the realm of creativity.
- The right-sided brain and left-sided brain work together to resolve problems.
The juxtaposition of the right brain, which has to do with creativity, and the left brain, which focuses on scientific aspects of the brain are interconnected. One cannot be fully scientifically inclined without being creative.
An artist must be logical to achieve symmetry when drawing a complex structure. Adversely, geometry is used by artists to draw unique structures and therefore, they rely on the left side of their brain for drawing sometimes.
Scientific solutions are discovered when one is creative. To reach a new hypothesis, one needs to ignore the heavy reliance on reading many peer-reviewed papers by industry peers. Oftentimes, when the subject matter changes, a new creative outlook is found.
- The digital age has shaped creativity in a new way.
The emergence of social media, digital communities, and technological progression through artificial intelligence and machine learning, has impacted how creativity is changing our lives.
We see old worlds, like pen and paper experiences we have become used to, being assimilated through e-ink tablets and notebooks.
At the same time, we recognize the distractions that come with addiction to social media for our creativity and performance. The need for the education system to catch up with the technological advancement to how this generation creates value and learns is vital.
Collaborative efforts are made easier with the rise of access to technological innovation. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are shared and stored through digital means. Allowing artists to explore new ways of distribution for their artworks.
- Creativity starts when we are children, but it is hindered when we grow older.
A curious child is better off in an environment that embraces technology than in an environment that stops new ways of pursuing creativity.
Drawing can be done through digital devices. Print-on-demand technology can be used to print to scale the artwork done for school projects, businesses, and other projects.
Streamlining workflows can allow people to work on the go. Traveling allows people to gain exposure to what happens in different areas.
A child exposed to different environments will become more creative and will be able to explore different creative mediums.
Creativity is nurtured as we grow and advance in our respective professions. It applies to everyone who wants to do things better than they once did or experienced.
