Creativity!

Taking what we learned at the Columbus Museum of Art into practice, this blog will focus on how to inspire creativity in our daily lives. Check out Elizabeth Gilbert's TED Talk on inspiring creativity on a daily basis, do a google image search for “creativity,” or watch the whole Rube Goldberg video for some starters…

For this week, I'd like to you consider and blog about the following (providing a concrete and specific example for each when applicable):

• First, do you think it's important to be creative? Why or why not?
• When was the last time you were creative or engaged in play? What were you doing? Were you working with others? (provide an example, and do NOT use the workshop as an example)

Now, drawing on your experiences from Wednesday’s workshop, consider and respond to the following (for those of you absent, just do your best to answer the questions):

1. What was your perspective on creativity before and after the workshop? Did it change? If so, how? and if not, why not?
2. Did the workshop's play activity give you any tips and techniques into incorporating creativity into your daily life? If so, please provide some examples.
3. As Creativity/Innovation is a Core Competency of BLF, how are you going to apply what you learned (or perhaps already knew) about creativity and play into this current challenge?
4. Finally, did you have fun? :)
