Things should not be this way. I love creativity and imagination. If the world did not have creativity it would be a very boring place. Not only that the world would not have very many other things. It takes creativity to do so many things. For example how could people invent things if they thought that there was no ‘other’ way of doing things. Furthermore, even if they thought that there should be a better or at least different way how would they be able to come up with a new solution.
This video upsets me because I do not want to be the teacher that thinks there is only one way of doing things. If we didn’t have creativity, we would not be able to develop perspective and understanding as well as we can with it.
Next I watched:
· Robinson said, “We should treat creativity with as much importance as literacy” – i do not see this happening in schools
· When the child says that people will know what God looks like in a minute, I see this as such a ‘child moment’ – children are so raw and true. As we get older we have to be more careful of what we say but I think that as adults we are so busy trying to be polite that we lose the beauty of what it means to be a child.
· Robinson expands on this idea by saying that adults are afraid of making mistakes.
· When one is afraid of making mistakes it will suppress creativity.
· I believe a lack of creativity encourages this movement from being like a child to being a ‘sophisticated’ adult
· I am stereotypically someone that should be good at the arts and creative. For awhile I felt jipped because I felt like I did not have some creative gift that was supposed to be my strength. Although I now see that there are many different ways to show creativity; I question whether or not I would have a more ‘creative gift’ if creativity had been more encouraged when I was in elementary and high school. I wonder if I wasn’t so often told that I was wrong, would I be more willing to try new things?
