Before taking this class, I didn't know anything about art and even thought I had no artistic talent because my drawing ability and photography ability were not very good. And I don't think I'm creative because I've never created or had an interesting invention. But after going through the whole IAH241 course, I feel the love from my professors and classmates and feel very confident about my future art career!

We watched a lot of ted talks on art and creativity this semester. I think they played a big role in my creative process growing up. And what impressed me the most was the first assignment I completed. We need to comment on "Teaching art or teaching to think like an artist". At the beginning, I didn't quite understand the meaning of this topic because I thought that the purpose of my study in this class was to learn why I should learn how to think like an artist. But when I watched the video and gave a review, I immediately understood the significance of this assignment. We need to have a unique understanding of art not because it is art. I feel very happy that I have a deeper understanding of art and creative thinking in the subsequent ted talk study.Because her words gave me great inspiration, we should use our independent thinking ability to think about a certain problem like an artist instead of art itself. Art has no limit but the connotation of artists is different. The most important thing in creative thinking is the creation process rather than the artwork itself, so in the future creation process I will think about the thing itself from many aspects.

In this semester, I have to spend a long time reading this book every week, and I will feel very distressed at the beginning because I need to read a lot of materials in addition to homework every week. But after I read the first two chapters I was full of interest in this book because it allowed me to feel a completely different artistic experience. I learned about various arts and creative processes in the world. How these artists turned their unique critical thinking into work. When I saw this picture in chapter 5 blending, I was shocked by the scene in front of me because it really brought bleeding to the fullest. I especially like this piece because its mixed use is a unique way to address such an important issue. I feel it allows the audience to look at different issues from different perspectives in a more in-depth way.For example, I will associate and combine some things to create a better new thing. For example, I have added a paper bag to my desk lamp, so that the tools I usually learn to use can be clearly and conveniently placed on my desk. in front of. Reading articles is about changing our lives in order to improve our creative thinking through what we learn.

I was sad to know since I needed to do a quiz every week because I was worried that I would not be good enough and get poor grades. But in fact, it only takes me five minutes to complete the quiz once I've done my weekly video watching and reading articles.

Both of it's from the video or from the zoom conversation with the professor last week. The creative process is an inevitable process of my artistic study and creativity improvement. So I think the concept of creative process is very meaningful. At first I thought creativity was innate and unchangeable, but since learning about the five stages, I've found that I need to follow these five stages when I want to create anything. It helps me to use my creativity more systematically.For example, I will carry out my creation step by step according to this process. The small trash can I made at home has indeed gone through these five steps. The final success is inseparable from repeated revisions and changes in creative thinking. Systematic creation can indeed improve every aspect of life!

I think the weekly art exploration is the homework I would most like to complete. Because it's a great way to express what I've learned this week about art and creativity. I felt very disappointed after the first assignment because my grades were very low and I gave up on myself. I thought I might not be suitable for art-related work, but after the professor accompanied me to revise my work step by step and patiently illustrate me about my problems, I regained hope and worked harder in my future works!

This semester I learned all aspects of art, whether it's photography or the technique of making things has gone up. Yet zentangles are the same kind of homework we do the most. It gives us the freedom to draw with our imagination and cannot modify it. I think it gives us the greatest respect. And I think this zentangles is one of the best I've ever done, whether it's drawing or shading I do it to the best of my ability.

I think this art exploration is my favorite because it uses my imagination a lot. We need to combine digital things with reality to complete an item. I think he is very interesting and creative. And it is my highest scoring art exploration. I ended up choosing snapchat as my piece. I think the progress of the creative process is closely related to any job. Only those who experience the process can feel that art has no distinction between high and low.

I think Boden's understanding of the three types of creativity strikes me as extraordinary. These three creativity resonate with me a lot. The first is Combinational, I think it is very meaningful for us that creativity is linked together, when many of us combine ideas that can be perfected. For the exploratory creativity, we need a lot of courage to explore it because we may have to pay a lot to realize our creativity. Finally, for transformational creativity, basically all successful creativity brings great changes to everyone's life, such as the Internet.

Journals are more like a periodical summary for me, and I think it's very meaningful because I can reflect on what I've learned and what I haven't done well. I especially like to tell my thoughts in the journal because it can represent my spiritual sustenance for artistic exploration. Each of these four journals is full of meaning.And after writing the journal, I will reflect on where I am not doing well and how to improve it. The advantages and limitations of my creative thinking are the direction of my thinking.

I think the 4C model of creativity doesn't just tell me a theoretical knowledge of creative thinking. It taught me a lot beyond the classroom and improved my life. At the beginning I didn't know that creativity had these kinds of divisions, but the knowledge I learned in the classroom and the use of creative thinking really made me realize the meaning of their existence and their expression in life. Even though I may be between little-c and pro-c right now, I can't stop because one small step for us can be one giant leap for everyone. In life, I have become accustomed to paying attention to the big and small things around me and thinking about it. For example, I will fill my home with a variety of elements based on the elements of bleeding I learned in class. Styles are categorized rather than their color or shape. I often think about what I can do to make my life easier. I have a small trash can I made myself in my bedroom so I don't have to run outside to throw the trash. Although I have not yet changed the creative thinking of society, if I keep thinking and creating every day, one day I will achieve big-C.

I feel like I'm reluctant to end this class because it gave me so many surprises. It changed me from being a person with no interest in art to enjoying and loving art. I have been greatly improved in both theoretical knowledge and practical ability. But I think I have gained a whole new level of creativity and a change of thinking during this course. I need to look at my previous deficiencies and correct them through this course, not the course itself. Before, I always thought that creativity depended on talent and I didn't think of myself as a creative person, but after taking this course I understand that everyone has a creative mind and needs to be optimistic. I should combine what we have learned and know a little bit about myself to create and not all creation works for me. Constant thinking and innovation can maximize my creative thinking. I think I did self-reflection and adjustment. In the process of each creation, I will consider the shortcomings of this work and how I can use the knowledge I have learned to change my view of life. For self-regulation, I think I will adjust my view of things in life. Creative thinking has taught me not just art itself but an idea of ​​life. For me, I think my advantage is to observe some details in life, so I think that in the future creative process, I will create some things that are beneficial to life instead of painting because my painting ability is really not very good. Recognize your own strengths and weaknesses in order to improve yourself in future creations. Efforts and sweat for creation will be our most valuable memories!
