seven characteristics of creative thinking

seven characteristics of creative thinking:
1. Receptivity-be open to new ideas; welcome new experiences
2. Attentiveness-every experience is potentially valuable
3. Conviction-tenaciously pursue an independent path
4. Curiosity-researhc unusual topics; analyze unfamiliar systems
5. Wide Range of Interests-with more components, the number of combinations increase
6. Seeking Connections-see the similarity between disparate parts
7. Complexity-combine the irrational with the intuitive

I feel that these characteristics of creativity are different for each person. People are inspired by different things. Some people could be more creative when working in a group; while, some people could be more creative when working alone. It's different for each person.

Genius???

I think its kind of amazing how Wolfgang Beltracchi was able to forge art by all these famous artists. Even though it was wrong of him to do this, it's kind of unbelievable that even experts were fooled by his work. I feel like if you have a genius like talent you shouldn't have to hide it but you should be smart about how you use it. If I were gifted with one genius like talent I would want to be like a human encyclopedia. I think it would be really cool to know anything and everything you would ever need to know. You could be anything you want to be and you could make a lot of money from it.

my favorite image

Some of my favorite images are of sunsets. They interest me because none of them look the same. They can take a place that is completely boring and turn into something interesting.

Photography

This year in photography I expect to learn how to take better photos. I have always enjoyed taking pictures with my mom and with my friends when I was younger. Over the years my mom and I enjoy taking pictures of nature and scenery, especially when we are on vacation at the beach. I want to be able to move onto AP photo in future years and be able to use the skills I learn in my everyday life.
