Creativity

I had to think a little bit about the comment in the Hughes textbook, “art involves creativity, creativity does not perhaps involve art.” I have created some art projects and it takes creativity to come up with the final art project. There are so many decisions to make in the creation of the project, such as what to draw, what type of art supplies to use, the colors and texture, etc. On the other hand, I do agree that creativity does not involve art all the time. Each time we create a new paper for one of our classes, it is being creative, but it is not really art. But then again, maybe it is art. Wouldn’t it be expressed as the art of creating a paper? The Hughes textbook also mentioned “ The future belongs to those who create it.” As college students we are all creating our own futures, so the future belongs to us!
