Considering creativity… and online resources to provide digital materials just when you need them!
As I consider creativity I speculate (though with a fair degree of certainty) that the number one environment in which I can write and design and creat is one filled with classical music playing. I find certain pieces truly incredibly stimulating and not at all distracting.
The part of my brain or whatever it is that produces my best work seems to be stimulated or maintained during listening to classical music. I often am reminded of people who are engrossed in the music… living the music theme inside them. You will often see them painting in the air with their hands… their minds are in my opinion in a creative state .
One of the most stimulating concepts that I imagine at times to produce a deep motivation within me is the concept of creativity itself. When I see a paitning or design or cutout of a tree and its roots I find it immensly motivating as an image. I am reminded of one of the best depictions of this that I have ever seen which was on a website called Design Bundles who provide creative people with resources that they can instantly access online for affordable fees. Designs for trees for example like the one they call tree svg.
Personally when I think of seedlings and green shoots emerging from the soil and growing I find my mind captivated and ready for the creative process. A process in which I am mixing words and images to create a super positive and imaginative and interesting collage of words and images. To stimulate the senses captivate the mind and create fascinating awareness and stimulate action in the real world!
Using images such as the tree or even a Design Bundles deer svg or any number of images collectively, has a transformative effect on me and the viewer. It seems to stimulate as I say action in the real world. In my environment we use this collection of images and words to remind ourselves and anyone watching about the important events in our lives that include our loved ones. Things like Mother’s Day, Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter. Not forgeting of course the thing that at this time we are all overtly or secretly longing for which is Spring itself. Spring is the season of creativity with new life bursting forth from the dead winter with life returning to our hemisphere and bursting the dam and repleneshing our souls and filling our eyes with the suns bright rays!
And all this while sometimes in front of my eyes or in the background working away is the classical greats… Vivaldi…. Mozart… Beethoven. Who’s intensely complicated congregations of notes of sounds all work together to faciliatate a renewed creativity. A feeling in which the wonderful materials avaialable at Design Bundles can be funneled and thrown into the creative mix to produce art. To produce saleable products and drive commerce and decoration and learning. So that the great march of life can be filled with that which is interesting and useful!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and we hope that we have provided you with something interesting and informative of the creative process.
PS the next time you need a little inspriation check out this wonderful clip of Vivaldi re-imagined!
