What are your thoughts on creativity? (Interactive feature)

1.Do you consider yourself creative? Why or why not?

2. What does it mean to be creative? Personally? In a larger social context?
Are artists imporant to society?

3. If you create artwork (write, create music, draw, etc.),
where do you get ideas for your artwork and why do you choose what you do?
What about it interests you?

4. When you are creating art, your best artwork happens how?
In other words, what do you need to have a successful experience
creating? Do you have blocks in creativity? If so, how do you get past
it? Do you do warmup exercises, take a break, etc.?

Hello,
This is really just a test post and to encourage folks to participate. Please feel free to leave any thoughts you have on creativity or even the project itself. I am curious as to whether folks found it interesting... Also (shameless plug!), if you'd like to be on my art email list, please drop me a line (robinna@robinart.com). Thanks again to everyone for their great feedback & help.

This is an important project. Most children enter school with lots of creativity, but within a few years it is drummed out of them by the tedium of schooling. I hope this project inspires teachers to allow their students to color outside the lines and express their creativity. Tom Reeves

Without some sort of creative expression,(Music, Animation, Graphic Design) I feel sometimes I couldn't go on living.... and it's always been that way for me for as long as I can remember. Wilco wrote a song once called "Everyday Rock and Roll Is Saving My Life" and I've found this to be unquestionably true.
