How to be Original

There are many theories about creativity, many think that it can be learned, others think that it is something born in us that is progressively killed by an educational establishment that strives for conformity and obedience. Part of being a great artist is being disobedient and idiosyncratic. Two good examples at either side of the spectrum are Caroline Shotton and Damien Hirst. Vincent Van Moo by Shotton uses a similar set of creative skills to Hirst’s The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living which is his famous shark in formaldehyde. Both of these works meld the artist’s unfettered imagination with their physical ability to create either a two dimensional or three dimensional work.The question for this art college is how to nurture this creative quality in the student. The first step is to learn to stop censoring your impulses. Ideas flit through the human brain in milliseconds. You need to learn to generate and harness these ideas. This is commonly referred to as either brain storming or day dreaming. If you watched the last episode of the apprentice, you would have seen some great examples, both positive and negative. The contestants made lists of ideas as they popped into their heads, the rules of course, is that there is no such thing as a bad idea. To practice this type of imaginative play, it is a good idea to do free writing, painting, or drawing everyday. This is a timed activity in which the only rule is that you keep your hands moving. It is the best way to get started nurturing your creative impulses.
