Post It Note Philosophy #16

Creativity is not about talent and aptitude; skills and techniques can be taught and learned.

Creativity is about the ability to listen, to perceive, to understand so that when you speak in your chosen medium, your voice is clear and articulate.

Creativity is the act of recreating, reversing, repurposing, reimagining, redirecting, redesigning. Its genesis is an awareness of the past, influenced by the present and focused on the future.

At the heart of creativity is the belief in the power of the story, the image, the music to transform, to develop understanding and to be understood.

Creativity begins as a conversation the artist has within himself. He asks the hard questions of himself in order to create. When he has created he is able to share it with the audience and promote, precipitate or provoke a conversation.

Protect your creative space and keep it sacred.  Location is not important; be it your desk, the romping room table, the lounge room floor, under a tree, in the library, your favourite spot on the couch. Protect your space, keep it sacred and create good art.

Creativity is not about being “artistic” in the traditional sense of the word; it’s about understanding who you are. Tell your story with your voice in your medium. To be creative is to embrace the gifting and aptitude you have and believe it makes a difference.

Creativity requires an awareness and openness to the world. As you perceive it through taking a photo, writing lines of poetry, sketching, dancing, shooting a video, you are entering into the mindfulness of creativity. You are present in the moment, aware and open.

When you are creating, do not be timid in your approach. Do not doubt or you will seize up like an unused engine. Instead, be daring, be bold, be adventurous even if you do not know where you are going.

Post It Note Philosophy on Creativity – Day 4

PIN Philosophy 4

Creativity is an attempt to understand what it is we fear; what is external and internal to our world. We fear what we could become; we fear what we may not become. Out of the darkness, we create to conquer our fear, giving it a shape, a form, a name. By our act of creation we let others know they are not alone.

Post It Note Philosophy and Creativity – Day 3

PIN Philosophy 3

Marvel at the acts of creation when you look at the diversity of human faces, the complexity of design at the microscopic level and the breadth of the cosmos. Creation exists for pleasure and for the expression of beauty in all its difference and divergence. Therefore, create useless beauty; something that is simply meant to be enjoyed.
