The Creative Process

As an art major I can confidently say that the creative process is not easy. Ever since I was little I have always loved to draw, and it has always been a part of my life. I've taken multiple art classes that have contributed to the range of skills in my possession; however, there are days when it feelings like your work is just "meh". If you don't know what I mean by "meh", I mean inadequate, sub par, okay, nothing special, and just plain boring. On the other hand there are days when creativity is overflowing and overwhelming, where you can feel a masterpiece reaching from your mind to your hands begging to be created. I think the video misses the point of that, although I understand what it is saying that there are hard times where creativity is stifled and you feel uninspired and empty, but it is worth it for the wealth of creativity to rush over you at the right moment to create the perfect piece of work. Creativity is something special, to me it is something intertwined with thought and emotion. I believe it influences every aspect of our life and that it is vital to every aspect of our life. I imagine a world without creativity is black and white, with an absence of color. Creativity is the drive behind musicians and artists and composers and architects, creativity is the drive behind society.
