Creative Activities for Week 3

 Hello, Teams!

This week we will continue talking about the things that are of inspiration and the things that shape who you are. 


Today, TEAM INSPIRE will discuss what they discovered in looking at the things they ingest. 

First, we have to look at the many domains of life where family patterns can have an influence.


 Patterns can influence your:

  • Beliefs about the world and personal values

  • Relationships and how you socialize with people

  • Eating habits and diet

  • Fitness and how often you’re physically active

  • Career, education, and job choices

  • Personality quirks and/or mental health issues

  • Hobbies and how you spend your free time

  • Religion, culture, and social traditions

  • Where you choose to live

TEAM CREATE will do the following exercise: 

 According to Pablo Picasso, “Every act of creation is, first of all, an act of destruction.”  


What do you think must be destroyed?  Is it possible to apply Picasso’s creative philosophy to your life? To a community? To society? 


What do you think that it means? 


Do a puke on Picasso. Go and look at several of his paintings and sculptures. See what you think he means by the quote. Do you think about it differently once you look at his art? 


Create a document on Google Drive. Contextualize your puke to discuss your thoughts about the quote. Include at least three pieces of artwork from Picasso and discuss how that informs what you think about his quote.

Creativity is not art.  It is not just a characteristic of tortured geniuses and mad scientists. Creativity is a capacity – it is something that we can all learn to use more effectively. It allows us to develop ideas to solve problems in different ways and to spot, adapt to, embrace, and capture opportunities.  TIME TO PUKE:  Make a list of 20 creative people, organizations, or ideas. Write them down as fast as you can. They don’t have to be famous.  What are some of the things they’ve done that you consider creative? How have these examples influenced you?

First, what did you think of Chris Temple?   You are going to make some art about something that you feel is important:  How do you know what you care about? Think back to when you either rejected "the story" or you adopted a new story.  What are the things that make you cry?  What are the things that make you angry?  What are you doing when you feel most like yourself?  Take a look at some of the answers  Social justice issues can be delineated into two categories, although they are often co-dependent: Inter-Social Treatment and Unequal Government Regulation.
