Just Wondering asked:


Or does an artist’s creativity come from their own intellect and experiences alone. I wondered because sometimes I feel my music seems comes from another place.
By spiritual, I am not talking about religious. I sometimes feel this outside inspiration like a stream of consciousness thing when performing. It is the zone but also something else and I can’t place my finger on it.

Bring Out Your Creativity

A Jacques asked:


I’m about to enter my final year in pursuit of a BFA in graphic design. I’ve long struggled with deadlines, in part because I experience difficulty coming up with ideas. I am, however, a regular reader of several design-focused blogs, so I’m getting constant exposure to really cool examples of other people’s work.

I’m extremely self-critical and often wonder if I’m just being lazy because I’ve kind of settled into a primarily functional minimalist style, because that just seems to be the way my brain works.

I’ve been thinking lately: with as often as we hear about, let’s say, books inspiring creativity and tv destroying it, is it possible that looking at a lot of other work is keeping me from coming up with my own ideas?

I don’t watch tv, but I’m playing with the idea of attempting a fast of graphic media (i.e. – setting up my browser, email, etc, to only display text) in an effort to kick-start my mind. What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks, up front!

okay asked:


OK, this is the topic:
How can art and culture be a catalyst for civic engagement in improving the quality of life in our community and challanging times? Write an essay persuading citizens in our community to support your ideas. Please give compelling reasons and examples on how art and culture can be a catalyst for civic engagement in improving the quality of life in our community and challanging times.

Art is defined in the dictionary as the human ability to make things; creativity of man as distinguished from the world of nature. Free expression establishes itself in endless aspects of everyday life. From the ads you see on television to the music you hear on the radio. Furthermore art can act as an agent for communal engagement in the advancement of the quality of life in our community and challenging times. In difficult times such as these where depression, poverty, and suffering seem to be around every corner, art and culture is a cathartic way to reflect strong emotions in a positive manner that promotes a common focal point for people of all backgrounds, eventually resulting in increased neighborly interaction.
Various means of artistic expressions include choirs, marching bands, and community art programs. Commissioning of public art works by private artists for public display in art museums, government buildings, and downtown areas of cities and towns can provide an insightful view and understanding of the perspectives of other individuals they wouldn’t have gotten to know otherwise. In addition, a person going through a similar situation is able to form a mutual bond with the artist which enables the advocate or patron of the artwork to feel less isolated in their experience.
Imagine strolling down the street, and everyone looks identical. Monotonous clothing, voices, faces, and skin color, doesn’t that sound dreary? There is no place more inviting or fascinating than a city with a rich cultural variety. It not only brings life and energy to a setting, but exposes citizens to all kinds of customs and ways of life. Exposure to cultures contradictory to our own, early on, can prompt a deep respect and appreciation of a myriad of races and culture, potentially reducing the number of ignorant racists and skinheads thereby making the community a better place for the future and even the present.
In these times of tribulations holidays,can be the perfect thing to disregard all of your past follies and present hardships. Not only are you surrounded by family and friends, but are inspired to give to the less fortunate and requite to the community. Holidays bring all types of citizens together despite ethnic and cultural differences through public events like the new years eve countdown downtown or forth of July fireworks.

This is for my 8th grade english class btw.

pursues asked:


I live and teach the native language (my native language) in a country whose students are simply uninspired. The society in general looks down upon music, does not apprehend art and creativity. They are spoiled by the riches of the country, and yes this is in the Middle East.

I am thinking of ways to inspire students to better their own mother tongue, through music and art. My question is, how do you introduce music and art to a mind that has never felt its joys? Never valued its beauty and potential?

I once showed them a picture of a sculpture, and asked them to describe it (in their proper native language). Only a couple of people showed interest. You can feel it under the breath of the class that they couldn’t care less. How to combat that? It will be even worse with a musical interpretation exercise, because some people in my country forbid music altogether.

Help!
