Creativity
This is a quote from Blog Zentangle.
"Rick Writes:
I often hear, “Go out and make your mark!” But people are so used to
consuming what others create, they forget they can make their own
marks.
Maria and I believe that life is an art form. We also believe that each person is an artist. However, most forget that creativity is easy, natural and fun.
Ask students in any 3rd grade class, "How many here are artists?" and every hand will reach for the sky. But ask them again in high school and rarely will a hand move.
As you take tests throughout years of schooling you learn there are predetermined right answers. Everything else is wrong. When you solve crossword or Sudoku puzzles, each has one predetermined solution. Even coloring books convey the subtle message that someone else is authorized to create the marks within which you must color.
When you do not use your creativity, it atrophies.
...You have an infinite reservoir of creativity.
...Life is an art form. You are an artist."
