Cultivating Creativity

If I were to explain the article, "Cultivating Creativity" to a friend, I would let them know that it talks about making you into a better, more creative artist. This article gives the reader tips on how to think more creatively, and to ask yourself questions such as, "How does this work," and "How can it work better?" It tells you to be curious about what the problem is, and also gives you pointers on how to set goals for yourself and to think with an open mind. It also talks about using old ideas to create newer, better ideas. This article seems useful and could help me in different ways. One thing I really liked about it was the part about goal setting, and the example that was given. I think that by writing positive attributes about yourself on pieces of post its and then stepping back and looking at them is a positive way to gain confidence in your work and refresh your mind on things that you are good at. It is good to ask yourself questions and push yourself in order to be successful in your work. I thought this article helped because it gives the reader fresh ideas on how to be a better artist.
