Creativiteit, deel 3

Ik ben weer eens op zoek geweest naar creativiteit. Wat is het? Wie heeft het? Ik vond een aantal leuke artikelen over hoe creativiteit werkt. Onderaan een kunstenares die ik heel erg bewonder Sam Pickard Wanneer je op haar naam klikt kom je op haar weblog. Zij maakt werkelijk prachtige natuurafbeeldingen. In het artikel onderaan kun je lezen dat haar prints nu ook op gordijnen en kussens zijn verschenen.  
 

•  Things Highly Creative People Do Differently 

 

They observe everything
They work the hours that work for them

They take time for solitude

They turn life's obstacles around

They seek out new experiences

They "fail up" "Creatives fail and the really good ones fail often"  

They ask the big questions

They daydream

They people-watch

They take risks

They view all of life as an opportunity for self-expression 

They follow their true passions 

They get out of their own heads

They lose track of the time

They surround themselves with beauty

They connect the dots

In the words of Steve Jobs:

"Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things."

 They constantly shake things up

They make time for mindfulness

I also have tons of things that I’ve saved, dimensional items, whether its tear sheets from magazines or invitations to events that I liked, or beautiful packaging, or just anything that inspires me. And, I have these books that are not categorized by anything but are just full of visual works, so I’ll flip through those for ideas. 10-creative-rituals-you-should-steal

•   SAM PICARD

Last summer Sam took part in the exhibition Land, Sea, Sky at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen and selected to display her striking chrysanthemum, bamboo and ivy designs at the event, printed on a series of large fabric wall panels. “The idea was to bring the outside in and I matched the colours (by eye) directly from the plants themselves, so although the scale is dramatic, the colours are in fact very natural and harmonious.”
