Schools Kill Our Creativity
I strongly agree with that schools kill our creativity.
Schools are places that frame their children and/or us in a certain context
and stop us thinking out of the context or box. Of course, there are many advantages that some people may argue with; however, I question if those benefits gained from school are somewhat related to developing and exploring our human creativity.
What I have noticed from my experience as both a student and teacher is that schools are places that demand (or obligate) their students to think, talk, and act "uniformly." In other words, our schools are existing for social control and order.
I believe that our human creativity is unlimited. It is indeed unlimited!
Our extremely structured society such as schools and work places stop us thinking in multiple and creative ways. We teachers or educational leaders often say that we are to nurture our students' creativity and potential. Unfortunately, however, it is just a lip-service; in practice, we do not actually care about our students' creative growth or development so much. Do you? Have you? Please tell me how you have done it in our school system. I wanna hear it!
What and how can we do? especially in our super formalized and/or structured school setting. Thanks so much, Dr. Gilbert. This class has led me, at least, to start thinking of and considering how we can nurture our students' creativity including "myself."

My Inspiration explained...
I have enjoyed the class and the creative process itself. I don't think I ever took this much time consciously experiencing my self awareness as a person, an artist, a musician, a teacher...I really enjoyed figuring out how long to extend the photographs and in which direction they were presented all according to the timing of the piece. This experience grew my interests more into filim scoring which I would love to dabble in one day, but I felt very accomplished to go through the process of pretending to be one for a moment :)
creativity through music ..
Hello everyone! This class has turned out to be pretty intersting for me. I guess it is helping my creative side to come out of hiding. Well, the reason why I chose to make the short movie is to show where my ceaivity comes from. Music has been part of my life since I was a child, especially piano. In the first segments I wanted to show the influence piano has on my life. I wanted to show a famous Korean musician that I admire and also a clip of one of my recitals. In the latter segments I wanted to show the influence that music in general has in my life includig Korean cultural music and the different types of western music. All the different types of music have shaped me into the person I have become. I wanted to express or rather show the class what inspired me to be creative. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that music was definetely a big part of my inspiration.
