Creativity

Watching the video in class brought me back in time. Back to the early 1970’s when I was in elementary school. I can remember art, music and phy.ed class as being special times. We would look forward to the days that we would have these classes. It was a time when young children could be creative. When fifth grade came along we had the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument and join the band. All of these things are important as academics during the developmental years.

As time has gone by arts have become less important in the school systems. More stress is put on getting good grades. It is a known fact that people who have high intelligence are normally not very creative. Well, we need creative people in this world. What would the world be like with no creative people? I believe things would be much different. We wouldn’t have beautiful museums, wonderful novels, or the skyscrapers in the cities. Many of the modern conveniences probably wouldn’t have come about without creative people.

I believe that creativity is a very important quality in a person. I myself don’t think that I am very creative. During my adult life I concentrated my life to my job and children so I didn’t have a lot of time for hobbies. Now that I am in school again, I hope to find something that I can bring out a creative side that might be in there.
