Creativity flows from our fingertips and consumers our bodies, letting us erupted our unsaid thoughts and feelings in an constructive healthy way. Life would be drape without creativity. Creativity brings people together and forces them apart, hindering their relationship for the love of art, a beautiful and wretched process all at the same time. It amazes me how people can be nurtured in similar environments yet still have such unique and vast ideas and ways they express creativity. From this humanities class I have learned multiple ways on how artist use their creativity in a structured way. I can know tell when vanishing points pop up in my day to day life. For my future career I will have to have a high level of creativity. I wanted to become a dietitian, which means I will have to use my creativity everyday to construct meal plans for patients. Nature and dancer are one of the biggest things that has impacted my creativity. These two things go hand in hand in my life. Humanities taught me that creativity can explode from anything and I also can better comprehend myself and how I am creative in my personal life.

In considering the tests that exist, one sample population LMFT’s are likely to work with are children. Development is always a major factor in children with intellectual or behavior issues.

The creative curriculum classroom is a community. In the creative curriculum classroom, instruction is based on observing and developing what the children say and do. Based on Vygotsky's term zone of proximal development (ZPD), creative curriculum teachers provide learning experiences that are challenging enough to move children to a higher level of learning, not so challenging as to frustrate them. Creative curriculum teachers facilitate growth and development of all children in the class and create a classroom environment in which their own effectiveness can be affirmed.(Colker)

The first thing that comes to our minds when we think of “creativity” is things that have to do with arts. This is not true. Being creativity and having creativity can also be used in many activities or professions such as in businesses, creating a sport team, and in any other things you name it. Robinson has taught this through his book, “Out of Our Minds” but also how writers and artist see the world a little different compared to how others, scientists, mathematicians, historians, and psychologists look at the world. Also how educations and ageing plays a role in our creativity.

For the entirety of the fall semester, I took on a project to create a three-page layout for a fictional campaign in National Geographic magazine about endangered species. The goal was to create different content for my portfolio, challenging my skills in photography and photo-manipulation. I transformed people into animals and used gel lighting and Photoshop to create my artwork (see Appendix A figure 1 & 2). At the end of the semester, I reviewed my completed pieces and two theorists best fit my creative process, Julie Burstein, and Teresa Amabile. Julie Burstein discusses the best way to foster creativity is by ‘letting go’ she outlines this in four lessons (Campbell and Dubois, “Artist Best practices” 25). These lessons include experiences, challenges, limitations and loss (Campbell and Dubois, “Artist Best practices” 25). While Teresa Amabile discusses how the theory of creativity is fostered through her componential model of creativity (Campbell and Dubois, “On theories of” 14). These include domain-relevant skills, creative thinking skills and motivation (Campbell and Dubois, “On theories of” 14). Both of these theorists go hand in hand providing me with the framework for my best work. This essay will discuss how Amabile’s theory for intrinsic motivation and Burstein’s lesson of experience and loss, align in my creative process to be conducive to my work.
There is an invisible key that we all hold, unlocking our gifts and talents. There is no stopping us from using this key that we cannot see. But what if we did not know that we held this key? Creativity can be viewed in the same way, not ever knowing the capacity that is within us, an invisible force that seems to take over us when we are in state of happiness, doing what we love. Creativity activated gives you and I the solutions to big problems.
In the video “do schools kill creativity?” presented by Ken Robinson. He argues that school need to focus on creativity which the education system should be focusing on instead of only teaching education. Kids are taught to be educated in academics and not so much on the arts and music. In the video “where does creativity hide?” presented by Amy Tan. She said “the value of nothing, out of nothing comes something.” She only talked about her own creative process-nature, nurture, nightmares. Nature is brain science that causes muse effect, spiritually born with it, past lives, psychosis or depression. She thought that near death is good for creativity. She said creativity is inability to stop looking at associations.
My two closest friends are artists, and it always baffled me that we all got along so well when I had no artistic talent at all. Then, I volunteered at a youth art program with my best friend Shane called Present Project in 10th grade. The main message that I took away from Present Project was that art can be unconventional and can be seen in everything that we do. I had always thought I lacked creativity because I wasn’t skilled in art or creative writing until one day my best friend told me that her favorite thing about me was how logical I was. She said that I was my own type of artist—an artist who expressed their creativity through their thinking process. Problem solving is an exciting task for me, because there is nothing that interests
The term creativity is used for the purpose of describing the ability that is concerned with the process of creating something new or valuable.

Recent studies show that your chances of having a mental illness may have something to do with your profession. This is an example of a subject that can often be read about in popular magazines such as Vogue, Time, or Newsweek. I’ve never really paid much attention to these articles because something about them makes me feel uneasy. The reader must remember that the magazines have more than one goal. Not only are they trying to inform readers, but they are also trying to sell magazines. I recently read an article in Psychology Today entitled Troubled Talent. It reports the results of a study on the prevalence of mental illness among various professions. I will compare this article with an actual

Art is personal; an expression of inner thoughts and desires, affecting the way I not only see the world but myself. In order for a person to grow they must know who they are, their aspirations, the true nature of their thoughts, and their actuality of their persona; the physicality of art has given me this knowledge. With practicing in the arts I am able to grow as a person and I am able to see that growth within me. For with the expression of creativity, comes an outlet, an outlet of the unconscious, forming and showing the reality of the mind. This outlet releases internal emotions and helps me to find tranquility within myself. This state of mind is a supplement for my own personal problems. Also, I am able to create new ideas, ones that help me see the world in a new light. I am able to form a relaxing and mesmerizing state of mind, one that leaves me fascinated with the world around me, along with a deep love for simplicity. Visual arts have truly given me an insight on my own mind and happiness in my life. This is why I full-heartedly believe and practice in the arts, to find peace of mind, not in the world, but in myself.
