Also, persistence is a way to create my work. As Chuck Jones in Module 3 explained,<br />
“here is the birthplace of persistence: if you’re not willing to do it, you have no right of being in<br />
the trade.” Chuck explained failure with a strong emphasis, and being persistent is a way to attain<br />
your own sense of creativity. Also, throughout the years, I developed the love of video games.<br />
Dr. Susan Greenfield said, that “video games may be responsible for the rise in ADD.” Also, she<br />
said that “only reason you will read a book is because you care about the characters, characters<br />
have a meaning: you can see one thing in terms of something else. But in video games, you don’t<br />
care about the princess, just about getting to the end of the game” (Module 7). Dr. Susan also<br />
mentioned that we lose empathy when we do not read; therefore, I need to start hitting the books!<br />
How I develop my creativity would be to calmly find my piece of mind. I am usually<br />
asked to do something, so I am never really inspired to just start painting or writing. I did<br />
actually painted a picture for my home for Fall that has pumpkins on it. I also live on a farm that<br />
is surrounded by cotton AKA "Georgia Snow" that has once inspired me for a poem that I wrote<br />
last semester. It is usually the simple and easy things that help me create. I believe that I see art<br />
all around me; especially when I look outside.<br />
The process that I go through when I am about to create is finding that peace zone. It is<br />
usually in a small room where I can be locked inside in the late hours of the night after my<br />
daughter and husband are asleep. I breathe in and out to calm my nerves and anxiety. Also, I like<br />
to turn on my music. Dr. Patricia Levy mentioned in Module 8, "Our brains and Art, that<br />
viewing art or listening to music activates multiple areas of the brain." I believe that my music<br />
does activate my brain to get my creativeness flow going. Also, in Module 9, Charles Limb<br />
thought that music helps your brain as he observed in his experiments with jazz and rap.
