The Creative Habit..

The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp teaches a lot on how to be creative. I considered myself to be very creative. I always liked to paint ceramics and do hands on projects.  This book had you try out different exercises and put you to the test. My favorite exercise was in fact living a week without. Twyla Tharp wrote her book very different and I can say creative. She would change the font by color and size. The Spine was a very drawing chapter.  Towards every task you do you need an outline. For example, with my INQ class and our video projects you need to have an outline (the spine). The first video I did I didn’t have an outline, but I learned my lesson. I make sure to have my outline and clear beginning and end. With having “the spine” it keeps you focus and straight to you’re topic and also helps knowing your topic so you don’t waste time going off topic. Another thing that kept me interested that she wrote about was leaving things off on a high note. Leaving things off on a good note you save yourself from dwelling on the past. When you do something go out with bang and be proud of the work you do. I can say coming to college I have done work I am not proud of it and when I go to work on a different thing I dwell on that last project. But with my work now I make sure to try and put my all so I can put my all in and be proud and for my next time I know what I have to do to get high grades. When you achieve something you work hard for you feel unstoppable and you keep working to achieve more.
