After sixth grade, I fell in love with art so I made sure I was able to get into each art class as possible. In high school art class, I helped create a painting that my teacher would later hang from the ceiling. From my knowledge it is still there seven years later, and has our signatures on it. I felt very proud and accomplished that we were able to do this, and make us a memorable part of the school. I have always had some sort of child like perspective when I created my own work. For example, in Module 3, Dr. Howard Gardner mentioned, “Picasso and Einstein both posed incredible skills in their respective domains, but then they pushed it forward by capturing a “childlike quality”… to ask a child questions.” This time frame kind of reminded me of when Thomas Edison said, "creativity is 1 % inspiration and 99% perspiration" from Module 12. Also, Elizabeth Gibert said, "it is 99% oyster and 1% pearl, which is inspiration, though rare, is more valuable than effort alone." This idea seemed to help inspire me with my own creativity. In college, I did not really take any art classes that let me use my creative skills, but it was only to be able to learn the history of art. I found that very boring because it was an art class, and we were supposed to be painting something, right? Also, my senior year in high school we had to do a lovely senior project that the new principal magically created in her free time. It was a little difficult for me to find the perfect mentor to help me create something that I have never done before. I finally decided to ask my Aunt Jeanne to help me make a quilt. My quilt had bright colors and characters from cartoons on it. I said that I was making it for my future child, and hope it was going to be a girl (which it did). I also look at my daughter, and try to see her perspective on her own creativity even though she is three. It reminded me of Module 4, when Redrick Haren explained "playativiity" when he mentioned that “no one has taught me to be creative= no one has taught me how to play.” I believe that this is right. I did not teach my
daughter how to play. It amazes me to sit back and watch her play while she interacts with her toys. My future goals are:
