What is Creativity?

I can't draw. Not even a stick figure. Even when I was younger I had no talent that would magically appear in my elementary art class. And because of this, I always thought that I wasn't creative. Art is known as creativity, and if you can't do art, then how can you be creative?

As I've gotten older, the best thing I've learned about art is that there are so many different kinds of it. So my talent wasn't drawing or painting. I found it was writing.

There's no wrong way to be creative or to be an artist. The most important thing is that you love doing it. Explore different kinds of art to find your niche.

There's also no magical talent that goes into being creative. In fact, being creative takes a lot of practice and a lot of work to polish your skills.

Don't be afraid to practice and fail. Failure almost always happens at some point but don't let the fear of failure keep you from pursuing your creative interests. Learn from your failures and allow them to build you up.

Look for my later posts on building your creative confidence :).
