Creative Writing

I can honestly say this has been my favorite class. I have learned so much about different writing styles and enjoyed learning them. I liked the way we worked in groups and had the opportunity to change our papers. Most importantly we criticized our own work and that made me want to make my papers better every time. I enjoyed this class mostly because I felt free to write about whatever I wanted and in whatever style I wanted. I wish Professor Potvin taught more English courses because I would register for all of them.
Well the semester is about to end soon and this is our last class meeting so I want to wish everyone the best of luck and hope you enjoy your summer!

Art and Creativity

Being Creative, there are so many different ways to be creative and by watching this clip Muniz gives us wonderful ideas on creativity. It is so nice how he makes something out of nothing. To me it might look like nothing but he made it into something beautiful. I really liked how he made clouds out of cotton. I love looking at clouds and he made the nicest clouds with cotton. I loved how he was so creative with this cotton and made different figures of clouds, I always look into the clouds and try to see what they look like and he did that with something so simple. The wires he used to made flowers and the pieces of thread to make the lighthouse was just amazing. I am wowed by how creative this man is. His creativity is just a wonderful work of art. The sugar over black paper was the most interesting presentation in the clip. After watching this clip I look at things differently, art is not just made with paint it could be made with just about anything, you just have to stretch you imagination.

Creative Stories.

I liked watching this clip on youtube. It was interesting how he said it takes more time finding what you want to write about than how much time it takes to write the story itself. He talked about killing to make something else better live when writing. He goes so much into depth talking about different ways and different styles, stages of writing. I like how he said that failure is a big part of success because you can only learn from your mistakes. It was a short clip but was very informative and educational, you just have to listen carefully to what he is saying. It is kind of like reading between the lines to get understand his point clearly. It made me think of the way I write and how sometimes it is so hard to figure out what you want to write about and then when you finally do you just go with the flow and one idea leads to another.
