So as is probably obvious to you all by now I love being Creative. However my partner and I live in a mining town in the middle of no where that has 3 shops and a supermarket. So when I got up to Module 2 Study Period 1 and it had activities I was VERY excited!!! So we have been working on how to get your brain to think creatively. Do you need words, pictures, music what makes you want to create. So the latest task set for me was this.
Cut-and-paste play
Cut and paste words and images from magazines, leaflets, newspapers
etc. onto a page even if you can’t justify how your selected pieces
relate to one another. Just go with the flow. Keep going.
When you've covered your page have a look at what you've got. Are
there any themes or patterns that jump out? Human beings are drawn
to patterns, so you’re likely to find one or more cohesive messages in
your cut-and-paste creation. The random images and words that you
select may help you to come up with a picture of a solution.
WELL LET ME TELL YOU MY MIND FREAKED! THIS IS SO VAGUE, ITS 11PM I DON'T HAVE ANY MAGAZINES, DO THEY WANT IT RANDOM, WHAT DO I DO. So I took a deep breath and decided to PINTEREST I started with 1 word (décor) that's it and I clicked the first thing i liked and saved it. Then in the related pictures I found another, then another, and so on until....
So here is my CUT AND PASTE creativity board. A bit unconventional but I will say I really enjoyed making this. If you're wanting to help turn on your CREATIVE brain I highly recommend trying this.
