Creativity

First of all what is creativity? Well, I would define it as a natural skill or talent that one posses to create something fresh and unique that can be distinct from others creation. Everyone can be creative. We are born creative. It's just that we lost it as we grow up. We would only do stuff others considered as normal. As an art student myself, being creative is definitely not easy. Even if I spend the whole day cracking my brain trying to get some brilliant ideas, I always end up getting nothing which causes frustration. Often I feel like giving up and quit this art industry for good. Thus, if we're determined to stay in this industry, we need to be strong and must not be afraid of failures or being criticized. It needs a lot of effort, hard work and courage.

Furthermore, being too worried; self-conscious about what others might think can be a hindrance to our creativity too. We are scared to try something new and different thinking that it might not work or others might not like it. When this happens, our creativity will be restricted and we are unable to move forward. It's like drawing a line to our creativity and we will never ever dare to walk across the line. Sooner or later, we'll go dry because the same old ideas are being used over again and again.
