Creativity
"Creativity is generally defined as the process of creating or the intellectual process of creating or being inventive. Creativity is usually referred to in the context of art and craft, but in truth, creativity affects every facet of our lives. If you rearrange your furniture or cook a meal, you are using creativity. Sometimes creativity involves creating something wholly new, but usually it is an interpretive process -- your own version of something already in existence."
I find this statement to be extremely liberating on many levels, especially considering there are so many preconceived notions that we as artists mustn't copy another's work or it always needs to be fresh, new and inventive. In this phrase, I find that I have more freedom to pursue the essence of creating without labels or dictates. I can say I am an artist and even if it's not on paper or made from scratch, I live it by the very things I do or by the choices I make, like she says by "making a meal" or even in picking out a pillow for my couch! Ha what a revelation :P
I am an artist!
I am creative and
I live art everyday!!
How awesome is that!
