A thousand candles can be lit from one candle, however the life of the original candle is not shortended in the least. --The Dalai Lama
Many of us now are trying to imitate each other. Sometimes, we tend to forget what is the true essence of creativeness, individuality and uniqueness… actually, art subject is not anymore part of the school curriculums in some college schools nowadays… that is why some new artists (especially in painting, drawing and sculpture), who really have great potentials are not given due recognition for their works… kaya minsan, di mo na alam kung sino ang original at kung sino ang hindi…
I want to make it simple but ellaborated (coz not all of us knows and loves to paint, or to draw)… in some stuffs we’re doing like web designing, interior decorating, fashion, cooking, blogging, singing, dancing and others, we use to imitate our favorite artists in our own ways…well, I’ve learned that “modeling and imitation are some of the effective ways to learn”…but one should consider the fact that imitating may cause u to limit ur imagination to think of a much creative and unique ways to put up or create something different from others… It’s nice to know and hear if you are recognized as a model, not imitator…:P
Remember this:
“It's pretty damn hard to bring your uniqueness into actual being if you're always doing the same things as a lot of other people.” -- Brendan Francis
One can imitate others (there's nothing wrong about that), but one should know his/her LIMITATIONS and BOUNDARIES between the original creator and the imitator…coz it won't help you to be famous if ur always hiding urself on other people’s shadow…or hurt someone coz ur claiming that ur the original creator (ur not being creative in that manner, ur a theft!)..
Creativity is a vehicle to learn, grow, and share who they are with others. It was characterized by originality and expressiveness; imaginative: the state or quality of being creative; the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc. originality, progressiveness, or imagination the need for creativity in modern industry creativity in the performing arts.
According to Chris Dunmire: “Creativity is the ability to create.” And with that, the use of one's imagination, ‘thinking outside the box,’ experimenting, and ingenuity comes naturally; Innovation, ingenuity, inventiveness, incubation, imagination, mind-mapping, knowledge building, problem solving... (One of my friend defines CREATIVITY based on Mirriam-Webster Dictionary..)
Think of this:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge... knowledge is limited, but imagination encircles the world. To see with one's own eyes, to feel and judge without succumbing to the suggestive power of the fashion of the day, to be able to express what one has seen and felt in a trim sentence or even in a cunningly wrought word... is that not glorious? When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of imagination has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing absolute knowledge.” --Albert Einstein
I hope this journal may inspire to enhance your potency of your creative power and make a difference!!! :)
