Creative Me part 2

“My score on the warm-up creativity self-assessment was 58.  This score is right because...”
I feel that I do have a lot of creativity but I don’t have a huge amount of it which is shown in my score of 58 which is a work in progress, but on the edge of creativity being one of my strengths. On my last creativity blogger post I stated that ceramics and my ability to think of the outcome of the project or whatever I was working on showed my creativity and looking back on that thesis I feel that it was a correct interpretation about my creativity. My ability to think of what the outcome of what I am working on will be and the ability to problem solve and think f ideas quickly are real life examples of my overall creativity. Throughout this unit I have learned that my creativity really only is shown when I feel deeply involved in the project at hand. If I am working hard on something then I feel that my mind fills with the volume of my creativity and soars to the paper through my writing. I have learned throughout this unit that I should let my creativity soar because it makes my ideas and writings a lot better and more creative. I feel that the daily warm ups each and everyday really help to prepare me to think creatively and write creatively for the day. Doing the TTCT I feel that my creativity was able to come out and help me which was helped by preparing me the past couples weeks with doing the practice TTCT and other helpful activities. I feel that if I don’t have a lot of answers on the paper or when I do activities that I don’t feel I did well on then naturally I get pretty frustrated because I feel like I can do better. During the TTCT itself I felt frustrated because it was hard for me at the time to keep up with very unique answers, but at the same time have the same answers make sense. My geniuses name is Waldo and I feel that initially our relationship is when I need him most for my own creativity to come out is when I actually see him and he helps me. Now I feel that whenever I need him for my own creativity then he is there to help. I feel that our relationship has strengthened overall since my genius and I met. My TTCT score was a 21 out of 20 and I feel that that really does show my creativity because on the TTCT test I did have some issues with my creativity reaching to me and getting on the paper, but I was able to real in my fish of creativity and get down to business and get a pretty good score overall. I feel that from my TTCT test I have learned that no matter the times that my creativity or Waldo is not there I am still able to get the job done and eventually my creativity does show up and when it does you can tell by how creative and unique my answers and writing become.

Creative Me

For the last 3 years I have been in the Ceramic classes at the high school. We make an arrangement of pots and bowls to hand made nature sculptures and figurines. I think that Ceramics is the way that I am creative because it is a way for my imagination and ideas to come alive in physical forms in clay. Ceramics is a way for me to go beyond the normal clay bowl or pot to create creative art and hand made sculptures. Creativity in my point of view is the ability to think outside the box or the normal and in Ceramics not only do you think about making these abnormal creations, you also create them with hard work and patience. Ceramics is a great way to let your imagination come alive in the pieces you make. Ceramics makes me feel creative because when you make something you feel a sense of pride and ownership over that and that the creativity and thought that went into the piece made it become what you wanted it to become. You can’t do Ceramics without some creativity because your pieces would just be basic and dull, but with creativity they become extravagant and detailed, which is what everyone wants. I believe that Ceramics shows creativity in people because of how unique each piece is to each person and that two people can’t make the same piece because your creativity is unique to you and you only. Creativity is the ability to show how each person is different because their imaginations and inspirations differ from person to person, which you so in thir art. I mean one person could make a tea pot that looks like a tree and someone else could have the same project, but it would be designed in a completely different way because their creativity was different. This is how Ceramics makes me feel Creative.
