Manifesto - Window to the Soul

Window to the soul   My name is Niamh Keating and I am a ninth-grade student at Cheshire Academy. I have lived all around the world and I really enjoy art.    This piece is supposed to represent the view of different people. The squares are representative of windows, differently colored and sized because everyone sees things differently. I titled this piece “Window to the Soul” because there is a saying that ‘your eyes are the window to your soul’.  This piece is special to me because I've always had trouble drawing eyes, but I feel like I finally got it right this time.

What is creativity?

  What is Creativity? I think creativity is thinking in a different way. Creativity often comes from within you and around you.  Creativity joins people and makes them see clearer. Creativity starts rebellions and ends them. Creativity turns new ideas and brainstorming into reality.  _____________________________________________________________________________________ Egg  I had to break out of my egg in a divergent way.  The steps: 1. Starts in egg 2. Sits back onto back 3. Backward roll into black widow position I call my position, "The Turtle" and "Stop, Drop and Roll" and "Superhero Pose"
