The Finale!

As we read The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp for class, I began to think more about creativity. This book teaches a lot about creativity and how to become a more creative person. If you lack creativity, it gives you many exercises you can try, to help improve your creativity. Creativity is everywhere you turn in life. Whether its trying to find a job, or working on a project at school. It's all about how creative you are, to attract viewer. Although I feel like I'm a person with a lot of creativity, I still chose to do these activities  because you can't be over creative! Some of them even deal with how to accept failure, and what you can work on if you do!  Twyla Tharp talks about how she feels she is a creative person. Twyla Tharp works in a blank white room with mirrors on one side. She doesn't let this affect her creativity. In fact, she uses this room as a way to expand her creativity. She uses this white room to make dance pieces, and she actually wins competitions! One thing Twyla Tharp emphasizes is the importance of practice. She believes that people are not born perfect, and that everybody needs to practice in order to master something. After reading this book, Twyla Tharp taught me to not only be creative in everything that I do, but also to accept failure and to learn from it. Creatively is something that is unique in every single person. Everybody is creative in their own way and you are in control of it. I recommended everybody to read this book, because it will open your mind to things you have never noticed before. It is not that hard to read as well, so you can always read it in your spare time!
