Why do we live for Creativity?
Sir Ken Robinson's Ted Talk
I gathered a few thoughts from Sir Ken’s TedTalk..
Why are we destroying creativity? Why are we destroying young, inexperienced minds? We all have a lot to gain from one another, while we are all are creative in our own unique way! I feel as I grew up, I would feel more and more embarrassed about putting my work “out there”. Simply asking questions, answering questions or even completing group assignments, I would feel as if my work wasn’t creative “enough”. Why is that? Why is it, that students feel less than their work? Feeling as though completing an assignment wrong, would be shameful. That’s how we learn...we give and we take and we learn by making mistakes. We may not always take that route, but that’s how we understand the concept of “learning”.
The Big Picture: “Fostering A Community”
I would describe the description under the title to be a wonderful act of kindness. The stories shared of the Treehouse Community is beyond inspirational! The sixteen photos share beautiful stories of heartfelt moments, determination, patience, and love for others. I would love to open my home to fostering, but opening a house, better yet a community to many foster families would be a dream come true!
I decided to look into “Fostering A Community” because the title caught my attention. The title could have meant many things, but it meant something important to me. Something I could sort of relate to.. Fostering children, aiding in the placement process, as well as childhood development. Fostering children is a wonderful thing! More importantly, I see it as helping children who need it. Helping children find their creativity, and simply..find themselves. My parents fostered many children growing up, but the final two children fostered, are my now adopted brothers!

Being creative isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Take two side by side photos of the same picture.. Do you see a difference? Tell me...there’s a difference in size, resolution..but thinking creatively how would you create that difference.. It takes exploration, time, and motivation to learn.
Just like creating videos.. It doesn’t sound easy, but if you brainstorm a few ideas, you will eventually have a very creative project! You have to think creatively in order to create a video.. So what comes to your mind when creating a video? ..Remember, be optimistic, original, You are UNIQUE through your own work! Here’s my video that I created this week. I explored nature in my video, as my daughter loves being outside with me, playing in the leaves, running around, back and forth, and being around birds! A unique aspect of my daughter is that she LOVES birds, and calls her grandmother (my mother-in-law) “Dee-Dee”..as my mother-in-law first introduced my daughter to birds! As I said earlier, being creative is about what catches your interest, therefore, make sure to always focus on you!
