what is creativity is all about?
hmmm
ok,i've done some research which is actually googling the meaning of creativity :p
so the result is,
for short,
Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby something new is created which has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways
that is the general definitions of creativity based on wiki
but from my perspective,
creativity is creating something or doing something that is beyond or against the norms
usually we are stuck to do what are people aspect to see that is totally stereotype or very typical one.
however, the creative person always try to be different from others.
they very brave to try something that very rare or very odd things from other people's view.
they are not afraid of taking risk at all.
it is not a crime at all of being creative and become different.
maybe for the first time, people will not very accepting and start to critics but at least they are opened their eyes and believe me sooner or later they will understand and accepting it.
“When I am in my painting, I’m not aware of what I’m doing. It is only after a sort of “get acquainted” period that I see what I have been about. I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess.” - james pollock
this is true,
when trying to create something creative,
we have to think something that is out of the box(i guess u heard this a lot!)
logic is no longer usable and sometimes something that is ridiculous also can be accepted.
just watch of this animation
very inspiring
and we can totally relate to
yes,
back then when i was a kid,
i used to very creative
i drew something without any doubt
i'm very happy and i think it was a very beautiful painting ever!
then start from that,
i kept mentioning
''i wanna become a painter one day!''
but as i grow up,
i knew that there are lot more talented painters out there!
it really broke my heart and when time goes by
and i was in primary school.
i still remember when my teacher asked about something typical any teachers would ask their student
"what is your ambition?''
then like we always know
half of the class will choose the same jobs.
majority of the class will raise their hands to become a
doctor,lawyer,police,teachers,fireman and etc
this is because their mentality have been set by their parents
since young age, their parent would said something like
''study hard baby, then you can become a doctor and treat ma & pa if we are sick"
there you go,
that child will grew up with their parents goal instead of their own desire career.
when i'm in form3
right after PMR,
i was choosing to pursuing my study in biology course,
and all my friends did take biology couse
but after thought about it carefully then i chose to against the norms like what my friends do
i was choose to changed to technical school and i took civil engineering
i'm trying to be different
and then i realize something,
that is not a real me anymore,
right after spm,
i already made up my mind,
i want to further my studies in Multimedia University and taking creative multimedia
and again
most of my friends don't really supporting me but luckily my family always does :)
conclusion is,
no matter what are you inventing,
dont ever afraid of taking risk,
yes, there is tendency of failing
but once you fall, get up and do it again
just like when you were baby,
take your first step,
you fell
you get up and never give up
even if you know it is useless,
but at least you are trying and it's worth it.
