Quotes and Creativity

-


 “Think differently” This quote is from the book ‘Embrace your weird’ by Felicia Day. In order to be creative, you must think differently. Sometimes it’s hard to not be a sheep, to take the less popular road. Often the greatest achievements and greatest art come from branching out. I like to imagine that I think differently. My mother chose to give me a unique life. This can be a good and bad thing. For instance, I have a greater understanding of the world we live in. But, because of this, I have a harder time relating to other students. I think that because I have seen so much of the world and the people in it I can understand different views and opinions better. At least I hope so. 


“Everyone is going forward” This quote is from ‘The Principles of Uncertainty'  by Maira Kalman. This shows that everyone is growing, physically and mentally. No matter if someone or something holds you back, you can still choose to move forward. This quote is a source of empowerment for people who feel their feet are dragging.

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. This is a mixed media piece of artwork. In this piece, I used watercolor, graphite pencils, and pages from a book. I decided to make the quotes from the pages in the book actually mean something instead of putting random words there. I felt like the quotes draw the audience in rather than just random words. I chose to make all the watercolor squares differently shaped and colored because everyone has...

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.
