Lesson 0: Introduction to Creative Studies

A simple drawing. It shown a simple message "Family"


-----------------------------------

From above, we can see that everyone has their own ability to create or produce some nice artwork. We are not the talented or special peoples. What we create is what we gain from God. God gives us the ability to create. A drawing or a simple sketching, it look different with others. This is because each person have their own perceptions to view each things.
From zero we start to think, to create and to produce. A beginner should have a brand new ideas in order to be considered as creative.

I have saw a Chinese articles before, it wrote there:
---------------------------------
A children should let them have their own way to view somethings. One day, a children got his artwork and asked to color it. The children was happy and filled the drawing full with colors. The next day, he passed the drawing to his teacher. He think that he can get high score on his drawing because he put his effort on finishing it. But after he get back his drawing, the teacher only give him 30%. He was very upset and asked the teacher why he couldn't get high score on his drawing. His teacher answered him :" You make a wrong color on your drawings, the sky should be in blue color." The children answered the teacher:" But in my world, the sky is black. When it is raining, the sky looks black. But when it is sunny, the sky is in red color. But when it is sunset, the sky is in orange color. Yesterday when i am in coloring, suddenly it rain heavily. So my sky is in black color "
The teacher never border the explanation from the children. From that day, in the children mind, sky must be in blue color. Everything was set in the children mind. No more black color sky, orange color sky and red color sky.

----------------------------------

What i get the message from the article is that adults or elder has set/ block the children mind on not being that creative. They have control the children creative since they are small. They should allow the children to color on what they observe but not what we instill in their mind.

-----------------------------------
First class by Mr Yap, he taught us creative is not being in a box, we should think out of box. So hope that i won't be as like the children in the article, my mind has set/ block by somethings else.
