Vincent van Gogh described creativity like this in a letter to his brother
"It is a feeling of love and enthusiasm for something, and in a direct, simple, passionate, and true way,you try to show this beauty in things to others - by painting it"

While reading the book
The Artistic Muse by Betsy Dillard Stroud she said
creativity is indescribable, like a silvery pink reflection on a wave at sunrise. In essence, it is a lot like the word sacrament - an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.

To me creativity is an expression of what you want to share with the world. I believe that everyone is creative in their own way, and we all choose to express our creativity differently.
What does creativity mean to you?

I like your description :)
ReplyDeleteI feel that creativity is living outside of "the box" :)
Beautiful post! To me creativity is when I feel inspired and act on it, like when I create something delicious in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteCreativity to me is when I look at something and say, it can be different, and proceed to make it so.

ReplyDeleteI love that!! That's how I feel about it, too. When I'm feeling creative, I tend to write something - part of a novel, a short story, a poem, something. And most of what I write I like to share with the world. Being creative, for me, is about expressing my thoughts and feelings for the world to see! Like that quote by van Gogh: "you try to show this beauty in things to others". :)
Great post!
PS I LOVE that painting by van Gogh!! :D
I love Van Gogh! Creativity is sometimes relaxing, sometimes invigorating. Hard to explain the feeling you get when you are lost in your own creativity.
ReplyDeleteI love the word creativity ~ it sounds so beautiful and musical to me. To me it is a feeling, expressed outward, sometimes to be shared with others, but other times just because it brings me complete and utter joy. :)
