Getting a little bit more creative.
This week launched with a great TED Talk from Sir Ken Robinson about how the modern education system is not allowing for the development of creativity in our children. The arts should be looked at in a more supportive manner, rather than just an elective course.
We took a peek at the 7 tenets of creative thinking which are enablers into creative thinking:
- You are creative.
- Creative thinking is work.
- You must go through the motions.
- Your brain is not a computer.
- There is no right answer.
- There is no such thing as failure.
- You don't see things as they are, you see them as you are.
We dove into the Boston Globe, and looked at a whole bunch of beautiful photo galleries. My personal favorite was a series of great skiing shots!
Josh Wanner explained the importance of musical choice in creating a video. The music should match the emotion that the creator is trying to get across, not contradict it!
Since Google is connected to YouTube, creating a slideshow was super easy! With the built in slideshow creator on YouTube, I was able to upload photos to my Google Drive and have them in YouTube instantly! It's not much, but I was pleased with my creation:
A slideshow can tell a great story, as I have seen from all of my classmates. As you can see, I chose more of a "pump-up" style of music for a hockey game. Bach would not be appropriate for a rivalry game!
