Creativity, Words, Artistry And You

Creativity, Words, Artistry and You


"One picture is worth a thousand words," said an ancient Chinese;
but it may take 10,000 words to validate it.”


More people are familiar with the David Gates and Bread lyrics:

If a pictures worth a 1,000 words
Then how can I paint you

Different words interpreting a similar ideal about dissimilar subjects. Hardin's was about more worldly dissertation. Gates and Bread were immortalizing the value of being in love.

The source
Inner creativity applied to the expression of thought. Each one molded their words to artfully express their feelings. I do it. You do it. All as an everyday part of living out our day. Being that this is a natural process, it proves something I've been saying for many years. Creativity is an innate part of the human experience. In other words you are the source.

What you need to know
While you can be taught a creative pursuit, only you can make it yours. Picasso went through adversely differing periods of artistic expression. Musicians who made their mark in one music genre crossover into others and create even more success. Rock balladeer Rod Stewart is a recent example that comes to mind. What you need to know is this is not exclusive to any person or form of artistry. Did you know that the crooner Frank Sinatra was also dabbled as a painter?

You are the point
You are a vessel for many types of creativity. You can actually pick and choose until you find your personal form of expression. Can you become a virtuoso or a star? How do you know your not already. Dabble, play, explore, whatever. Just don't forget to look within you and don't worry about the world at large. Afterall it's your expression, so take ownership.
