Creativity?


"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, is creativity."
-Charlie Mingus

A definition of creativity from Charlie Mingus.

Creativity,What's that?.. Ability to create something? This is what i think about when lecturer asked us.


when comes topic like creativity, people will think about talent. Talent is everything for an artist. Is that true?
Anywhere, let's see some example of genius like Mozart,Leonardo da vinci and so forth.. they all not born to be a genius or artist, they reveal a lot of hard work, rather then innate talent. They more creative then anyone, because they work harder then anyone else.

''creativity belongs to everyone, not just domain of artists.''
- Given by lecturer, from the first lesson of creative studies.



So..creativity is belong to every walk of life, no matter who you are, anyone deserve to have 'IT' if they want and willing so.
To have the creative mind, Curiosity is needed for us to explore the big world. The questions and problems we face is the key to the creativity. Try to develop something original, create a new way of doing things that make human life easier!

What i think about this lesson is everyone can be creative. We don't have to become a famous artist or inventors in order to archive the creativity. What's needed is the hard work and the passion. We need passion to keep on our hard work, whereas, we need hard work to reach the success. Am i right?
1% of inspiration and 99% of perspiration, which quoted by Thomas Edison.



People always drink with some biscuit when tea time. Tea always come together with biscuits.The product show the creativity which bring advantage to people. Indeed, it's a good design.

Creative Journey Start!

Introduction

The objective of creative studies is to introduce and provide aspects of thinking methods and creativity,in encountering and solving the problems in our life.

From the first class, i realize that creativity is not just create beautiful or good looking stuff, it's about solving the problems we face. what make us a good artist? it's what we do for the society, and what we have done and bring to the people. It's to make human life meaningful and make lige easier. As a future media worker, i should have the ability to understand the cultural and social aspects of design and the ability of communicate efficiently.


My expectation in class

Well, i wish the class will be fun, and also can gain my knowledge of design in term of creative.
i still blur what's i going to learn, but i slightly get what is the creative studies about after the 1st class. 1 thing i would like to share is creativity require knowledge, we need to know very well what the 'creative' means. i think this is why we having the creative studies class now.


''Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.
