How Much Can You Create?
The call to people who love art.
To create is to inspire, even if unintentional. Creating is purposeful and feeds the soul; it's what drives us to be what we truly are.“Being creative means possessing curiosity, the ability to observe keenly, and a passion for innovation to move about in space and time in new ways” (Cohan). “Creating art can be an immensely rewarding experience that has both psychological and physical benefits. It can provide a sense of purpose, satisfaction, and accomplishment. Art can also help reduce stress, build self-confidence, and improve problem solving skills.” (Shotwell). Participate in “How much can you create?” a race to get you out of your creative slump and network with likeminded individuals. Not only do you benefit yourself but you inspire others who get a chance to see your work. You stimulate your brain and create new habits, while also having fun. Learn how being creative affects everyday life, and can even benefit in the workspace. “If creativity is to function as a solution to the challenges of globalization, change, and the future of work, it is vital that stakeholders, including educators, scholars, policymakers, and end-users understand exactly what value creativity offers” (Oppert). This is a fun opportunity to provoke your imagination and make it into a reality. Find out what you like and explore new possibilities. Open doors that you were too scared to open once before. Nothing changes, if nothing changes. So get up and create something new! #howmuchcanyoucreate?
