I never really thought about who I was as a creative person before this class. After taking this course I am confident that my creative style is my athleticism and my humor. Never, would I have thought that my creativity flows by the things I love to do. I used to believe that creativity was only within the lines of coloring, painting, and/ or designing. Now I believe that while those things are still creative, going outside of the lines that you thought were there makes you a creative person. When doing my projects about my creative styles, it made me fixate on my work habits. During the process of creating projects, I plan out the entire thing before hand. I start with the building blocks (creating the ideas/rules), then move to the actual project (creating the video, and playing the game to find any loopholes). While it used to be a problem, I would have to say that my time management has become a lot better. None of the projects that I have concluded did I wait until last minute to finish it. I would also like to bring up how hard it is to work with people who different creative styles than you do. It might seem as if it would make an even better product by joining all of your styles- you end up just bumping into each other. Collaborating with a group is also sometimes tricky. Sometimes there will be someone who doesn't want to input their ideas. Something in the course that challenged me was the mood walk. Throughout the mood walk, nothing really jumped out at me. Maybe it was because I had already been through that trail before? All I know is that it was so hard to find something on the trail that reflected who I am. An activity that appealed to me was the "acting bench". Ever since the second grade I wanted to be an actor. Although, if I could go back and change one thing I did during the acting was to actually put effort in. It made me nervous that so many people that I was friends with would see me enjoy something that they might not have thought I would have been into. From the beginning of the year to now, I would have to say that I became a lot more confident. In the beginning of the year, I was afraid to speak up in class. Mentioning generic answers whenever I spoke up, if I spoke up. My drawings were very basic, and there was no thought put into them. Now, it took days, almost a week, to find something I wanted to do my project on. I spent my free periods, and time after and before school to work on my projects. Something that I learned as a person is that you shouldn't feel kept back by other peoples perceptions of you like I was. In the time ahead, I hope to remember that you don't have to stay in the lines of what you think is creative. Creativity is breaking those lines.
