Everyday creativity

"Creativity is the ability to look at the ordinary and see the extraordinary." Dewitt Jones

An uplifting and inspiring film, Everyday Creativity with Dewitt Jones, photojournalist, can be viewed at http://www.everydaycreativityfilm.com/.

Key concepts from the film:

-- See the extraordinary in the ordinary.
-- Every act can be a creative one.
-- Creativity is a matter of perspective.
-- There's always more than one right answer.
-- Reframe problems into opportunities.
-- Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
-- Break the pattern.
-- Train your technique.
-- You've got to really care.

I would add -- Take time to see and draw the one thousand things in the everyday. Keeping a sketch journal provides a place to pause and register the world seen. Here, my napping cat, Buck.
