Dreaming of a workshop

And a real one where you can do all sorts of stuff without limits and working with any material imaginable. Clay, metal, papier maché, mosaic, felt and alternative materials. I'd be in heaven!

Spotting Creativity

The concept of creativity. What does it actually mean? How can it be described? How can you describe a creative person? What does such a person look like? What makes a person creative?

This is what I am currently reading about and discussing in my paper and I am curious to hear your thoughts and oppinion on the issue.

Comment this post and/or answer my survey questions on the right side of my blog.

Thank you for your help.

Creativity, a mess

Yesterday I read an article about the connection between being creative and being messy in the Danish daily free newspaper Urban. The article claims that it's a myth that being messy comes with great creativity. Talking to different experts and psychologists they kill that myth and brings an example with the artist Tal R, who appearently is not messy. 

I don't know if I quite agree with their statement. I am dissapointed with the examples of mess they bring in the article, since it's not really mess. They talk about piles of dishes, that never get washed, piles of laundry and dirt in every where.

I see myself as a creative person. I create things. And I flatter myself by believing that I have great creative imagination and ideas. I also see myself as a messy person. After tidying up and cleaning my room it gets messy again almost immediately. (It's a great excuse though; "I'm messy because I'm a creative person.")

But in my opnion messy is not the same as dirty. What do you think?
