Take charge of your own creativity

The purpose and goal of Wasatchart blog is modeling the role of art in times of socioeconomic transition. So what does modeling the role mean on an individual basis? At the core of the initiative is the desire to assist others, many others to increase their participation and enjoyment of the creative process. It is believed that exceptional creative thinking will be required in coping with the complex lifestyles of a new post 2006 economy.

While government funding for many art programs remain flat or will see additional budget cuts the opportunity for personal creative endeavors has never been alive with more possibilities.

So what is creativity? And how can we personally increase our creativity and the application thereof?

The aspect of creativity that wasatchart blog encourages is that of actively creating or more simply stated building something. While building something usually is defined by a specific purpose or outcome. Creativity is not bounded by a successful finished result. Creating or building something is often experimentation in examining the processes and elements that formulate a finished product idea or concept. Often the finished result is finding what works what does not work and results in stimulus of new ideas or concepts. It is the enjoyment of the process that is most paramount in achieving personal satisfaction.

Taking charge of your own creativity can be as simple and as important as just taking a few moments for ones self. Since wasatchart blog is centered around the visual arts the encouragement is to make some sketches of thoughts, ideas, objects or urban and rural scenes of interest.
