Digital journaling.
In my digital journaling class, we are required to be creative. Creativity is something I lack, because there is no one to tell me exactly how a picture should be taken, or what pespective of an object I should capture. I like doing things that have a procedure linked with: such as Math each problem has a fomular, History each question's answer is in a text book or online etc. Digital journaling makes me nervous because everyone has a different opinion on even a sheet of paper. I really dislike failure in any form which creates great doubt in my mind before I even post something. Sometimes I post things because I have to not because i think it is good enough to be posted and also because i don't want to fail. Though if it was up to me it would take me weeks even months and thousands of opinions before i post something, but since there is a deadline to almost everything, I have to put the thought of failure aside and just do it. I also have to remember "The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure" by Sven Eriksson

Vanessa, I love this post. You were so real and honest and that in itself is what a blog is suppose to be all about. Everyone has a little creativity in them and I have seen that you do. What I have also noticed more than anything about creativity is that it is impossible to fail. Your work is your work and no one can tell you otherwise. You can fail at a math problem or get the wrong answer, but I believe that as long as you are yourself that you can never fail at art. Great post!
ReplyDeleteVanessa, this is great! I completly agree with you. In all of school students are told exactly what to write about, what the correct answer for a certain question is and if you don't get it right you fail... this class is a great chance for students just be free to say just about anything without the worry of failing!
ReplyDeleteVanessa, I definitely know how you feel. This is very honest and I really like the quote :)
