For my second week of class, I watched Julie Burstein's 4 Lessons in Creativity TED Talk. Burstein starts off by showing us a pottery she made in college and from there, she linked it to creativity. She talked about how we are so afraid of the possibility of failure that it is hindering our creativity. We overthink and judge ourselves that we unable to let our thoughts flow naturally.
I completely agree with her when she said that creativity grows out of every day experiences, even the broken places. I think of "weird" ideas from time to time in a day and they actually come in handy when I'm stuck doing a project. These "weird" ideas may not seem much now but it is a creative process, it is just how our minds work.
The talk was very inspiring, it encourages us to not belittle ourselves, but instead continue without fear of failure. She simplifies everything I've wondered about creativity nicely into words and examples.
