Creativity thread

B

Please share anything you make in any way.

So, some examples: drawing, photography, digital art, painting, illustration, knitting, weaving, baking etc etc.

I will upload something myself at some point soon.

It doesn't have to be your own if you would like to share something from someone/somewhere else that you like.

    Art has been part of what it means to be human since prehistoric times so I wonder if that means I’m not fully human, as creating art has eluded me

    I would say that photography is your art as it is mine.

    What is art?

    However it may be defined I believe that it can be expressed in a multitude of ways.

    my husband isn't a very creative or artistic person, but he's so witty and funny and his eye for colours and what goes together is the best of anyone I know. I think what makes me make art is what gets him to make people laugh or see how to make a space look it's best. Whatever fuels creativity I think comes out in different ways for different people. Cooking is also creative, anything can be creative in my mind. Creativity is what fuels scientific advancements

    Thank you. I’m grateful that you said we could post other people’s work, otherwise I wouldn’t have posted anything. 

    I would need to write an essay to fully answer your question as people have been debating its definition for a long time. Definitions include ’aesthetically pleasing’, ‘having agency’, ‘artist’s intention’ etc. 

    I think for me, art is something that is life enhancing, relatable and gives my life meaning. It’s often aesthetically pleasing but it doesn’t have to be. It can offer security and be grounding.
