After reading the article, I found several points that I did agree with. One problem they talked about was our school systems and how they are cutting out time for kids to be creative while in school. To me it seems our school systems have lost their ways and are more focused on teaching us the core curriculum. We need to have time to allow our kids to express themselves in art class, extracurricular activities, and to just be children. I would agree with them that art needs to be placed in homeroom
Growing up, my parents were not the most lavish people in the world. If there was a cheaper alternative to keep me entertained for five more minutes, they would be sure to pursue it. “Pa, everyone has Legos I want Legos!!” “Ehhh… how about instead of Legos I get you Building blocks! Twice the fun for half the price!” “Pa, I want Hot Wheels!” “No no no you want the Warm Tires; So durable that you could probably crack your skull open with it.” Do these wonderful options sound too expensive? Well don’t
something unattainable because it is socially constructed; therefore, it is inaccurate to say that there is a “perfect” style of writing. In “Two Questions,” Lynda Barry introduces the two questions that haunt many when writing: “Is it good?” and “Does this suck?” She explains how these two questions are developed from life experience and the need to please others. In relation to Barry’s “Two Questions,” Anne Lamott gives reason and alternatives for dealing with the need to be perfect and why we
are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” I feel that this quote does a really good job of expressing who I am as a person, and I know that the reason I have been so successful is because I am an optimist and focus on the positive rather than the bad things in life. I am the type of person who sees the glass as “half-full,” even in the worst of situations. This way of living had led me to become successful in numerous aspects of my life, from academics to my own personal growth
Relationship between constraints and creativity Constraints can influence on creativity both negatively and positively. Constraints generally undermine creativity by inhibiting uniqueness and intrinsic motivation to a large extent. In a sense, the best way to improve and develop creativity is to identify and eliminate all constraints. Yet this is not always the case in most of creativity works. That is to say, constraints also have a positive impact on creativity under certain circumstances. Just as
focuses on how the immediate social context shapes popular culture. This includes artists, animators, television writers/actors, and musicians (to name a few) who actually create popular culture and how the context of their work doesn’t always govern what they produce. Within popular culture, there are three realities to consider: the technological constraints, the organizational apparatus, and the legal system. With technological constraints, it deals with the production and manufacturing of popular
always told me that when I was younger I constantly asked questions so I wondered why I was having difficulty finding a question to ask now. Later on that day two of my cousins came to my house one is five years old and the other is eight years old. My five year old cousin continually asked questions and I could see his older sister was really getting annoyed by it, yet I remembered a time when she was in his shoes and I wondered why that changed. Then my five year old cousin told me about how much
Sensory Design Of all my positive attributes, creativity is not one of them. I think of creativity as the ability to come up with new things, using one’s imagination to create beauty, induce laughter, and/or provoke emotion. My jokes are always corny, my drawing skills are comparable to a toddler’s, and I suck at telling stories. “Creative” definitely does not describe me. Richard Florida, in The Rise of the Creative Class, describes creativity as a separate entity from intelligence, and I totally
the student's individuality and creativity? The school uniform is said to make everyone the same, and create a more positive environment with less bullying, but how does it? By forcing everyone to be the same, you “can’t tell” who is rich and who is poor,who is weird and who's not. However, does the school uniform do anything it says it will do? The school uniform may be an equalizer in some respects, but in others, it is a hinderance, in the way it decreases creativity, condemns individuality, and
I really like Linh Do she had a unique way of getting her point across and she didn’t try to elaborate on social norms as like she said its unique for all of us and it hit home about what she said about the fork in the road because I had to make the same decision and my parents didn’t pressure me to do any of the above when I graduated. I got told that I should start making a decision about my future but I wasn’t given the ultimatum of go to college or get out of the house. I was glad that these
