Creativity is humankinds only survival skill. We don’t have big teeth or hard skins yet we survived the jungle and created civilization feeding and housing billions of people with nothing more than our creative problem solving skills.<br />We created language. We have a pallet of words and some rules about how they go together and we make brand new sentences 24 hours a day, even in our sleep. We cannot not be creative. We are so close to it we can’t see it. If I give you a pallet of colours and some rules about how they go together, say western European aesthetics through art history, I guarantee you eill be making brand new things that never existed before. Whether you have a tolerance for the frustration of working hard and excelling in the field, is up to you. No one needs to be a genius in order to get by in any field.<br />“There a wide variety of mental disorders that are known to somehow be connected with creativity.” Again, says who? Connected in what way? Where is the evidence for the belief? In 2011 depression and anxiety are epidemic in western society. Does that mean we are more creative now? <br />“Most consider Einstein’s creativity and extremely high levels of intelligence to be somehow directly linked with his mental disorders, although the direct mechanism thought responsible for the similarities is not known.” Ok that’s not a statement that is worth much, basically without saying who the ‘most’ people are, and what they consider the direct mechanism to be, what is stated has no more value than a rumour.<br />“One of the most widely accepted scientific studies within the scientific community took place during 1949, and provided evidence that individuals with a natural predisposition towards bipolar disorder also tend to be naturally predisposed to creativity.” Which study? Where is there a copy of it? 1949? Surely our ability to study and our knowledge base of mental emotional illness has progressed since 1949. For example, studies in cognitive therapy have shown changing how a person regards himself, and others and the world, through talk therapy, have a significant impact on brain chemistry and is just as effective at changing levels as Prozac is. (Feeling Good the New Mood Therapy, Dr David Burns, from the introduction.) Information such as this was not even known in 1949. It’s as valid to say that during the Bronze age they felt creative people to be shamans and healers.<br />“When it comes down to it, ADD/ADHD, dementia, autism and bipolar disorder all seem to be somehow directly linked to creativity by the similar qualities of both.” No they don’t. Being human is linked to creativity, by evidence. For all we know those unfortunates with illness put up with the frustrations of a creative life and excel at it through practice and hard work, because they are unemployable in straight 9-5 jobs. I found my instructors at art school, had the same qualities as other successful professionals. They worked hard, did their best, showed up, and were professional. I found without exception they were passionate about their profession and their students. In other words, ‘normal’, whatever the hell that is.Jerald Blackstockhttp://www.jeraldblackstock.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7394374524406961980.post-69267402631644272982011-02-01T23:30:25.435-08:002011-02-01T23:30:25.435-08:00All the days and years of endless boredom.
