Personal Creativity/ Your Imagination

[Lizbon]

What are some ways that you express your creativity?

Some people draw, write, etc. What do you do that shows your imagination and creativity?

I for one do many different things.

When I'm listening to songs I think of how they could fit into a movie.

Or when something happens in my life I think:
"If my life was a movie what song would be playing in the background at this moment?"

Also, I'm very into organization and home renovation shows. (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition--- I know it's more a show about the people but still.) So about a year ago, I started buying different home magazines when I would go to Home Depot or Lowes with my parents and I would look at the different types of rooms. Interior Design was something that I thought about for a litter bit, but I have a certain style so I don't think I could come up with different ideas for each customer.

There are so many other things I do but here are a few to get things started.

 

[Pirate Me]

I love to draw, Photoshop, and take pictures.
I recently learned to make short cartoons. They suck but that's ok. xD

 

[reminisce]

sometimes i write poetry, other times i make up songs on my viola

 

[::Snow_White::]

Writing.
Poetry.
Art class.
Scrapbooking.
Crafts.
Decorating my room.

 

[STOPxmickeytime]

I write songs constantly, and sing.
It's my way of letting out every emotion.

I also write, mainly in myjournal, but sometimes short stories.

And I love photography.
I just need to save up for a nice camera.

Poetry.

I'm a big poem head

Ex of my work:

Middle School​

​

​

Wake up at 6 o clock​

Get dressed, tired as a rock​

Eat breakfast, get outside​

Wait for the school bus to give you a ride​

​

Try to get the back seat​

Older kids got it – minor defeat​

Sit up front, looking dorky​

Given names like “Einstein” and “Porky”​

​

Get to school, budge through the mess​

Get cheese puff crumbs on your new dress​

Get to your locker, get through the day​

Pray that you’ll make it OK.​

​

Lunch time and there’s scattered teens​

Trying to decide between​

The prep table and the jocks – neither will do​

So off to the table with a kid named Drew​

​

Well the last period comes, and you’ve barely made it​

Middle school – man, you already hate it​

Bite your #2 pencil as the clock ticks so slow​

Why won’t the time pass? Why won’t it go?​

​

The bell rings – thank god! You thought you’d die​

When people say “it’s the best years” boy, what a nice lie​

You’ll smile and say “Yes it is!” but alas you have hid​

The pain and the horror behind the first day as a 6th grade kid.
​

 

[OneTreeHill]

I draw, paint, wirte stories and poems.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Photoshop, but I'm not very creative with it.

 

[Disney Dork]

I write a bunch. Poems when I have the muse to do them and short stories the rest of the time.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

When I feel the need, I'll write a poem or two. I listen to music, and I take pictures. The photography is starting to get a little better.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Mm yes.
Sometimes I do take pictures.
But I don't claim that I'm good at it, I just kinda get bored. I'm in no way a photographer xP

 

[Lizbon]

Other things I do:

I to take pictures.

I also recently discovered that I had Windows Movie maker and I made 3 short movies.

2 made of various clips from the ABC Family show Wildfire.
1 made of various clips from the show The OC.

The Wildfire ones came out really well, if I do say so myself. I was so happy when I watched them because it was my frist time using the program.

I'm also starting to write like a short script. When I lie in bed at night (when my mind doesn't wonder off) I try to expand on shows that I watch. I loosley base the story off of the characters in the show, but then it expands to the point where its completly different from what I was watching. So I figured why not write the story down for once?

 

[Tinkerbell424]

To show my creativity, I show it through the way I dress, the way I do my make-up, the way I wear my hair. Umm, by writing stories and by taking pictures.

 

[marypops!]

Photography.

When I get bored, i'll go on Paint and draw crossing lines, then fill the gaps in making a pattern of some sort. Sometimes i'll put loads of dots onto a page and then connect them to see what I can make.

 

[AbsoluteAwesome1]

I draw a lot.

I also write a lot. But really what I like doing is making up characters... it's great fun. My friend and I have been writing a story for the past couple years.

I'm not really that into POETRY, though...
I think being a creative writing major would be great fun, if all I had to do was write short stories.

 

[CrazyChik]

You have just made me realise i have no creative outlet for my emotions.
I'm told i can write, personally i don't think i'm anything but average, but it takes me hours just to get a start somewhere near decent so it leads to frustration.

 

[PowerMonkey]

lol i usually draw, edit a video, or photoshop something as an outlet.. i used to write songs.. but then i re-read some of them and realized that i probably shouldve shot myself for thinking up of some of the dumbest lyrics ever lol

 

[DramaQueen]

I like to take pictures if I'm feeling inspired&creative.

MY imagination & creativity really comes out when I get into a scene/play i really love.
I really let loose when I'm acting & performing.
Somehow I come up with these insane concepts and I get really wrapped up in the play & the character.

That is when I feel the most creative.

I also like editing & making videos.

ANd I think I am creative with my choice of clothing as well.
I'm not afraid to wear something different....i'm proud to say that I was the first girl to wear a sundress to school last spring. (which caught on rather quickly lol)

 

[BabyPiglet]

I like to cook. It's not like y'alls creative outlets but it works for me.

 

[ohdisco]

I write stories and create soundtracks for those stories, a LOT.

I love photography. I have a 40 year old single-lens reflex (SLR) camera which I love with all my heart. My Papa bought it in Japan and the strap is from Hong Kong. Out of every camera I've ever used, I could never capture emotion like I can with my SLR. It's probably my most prized possession.

I scrapbook as well.

Clothing is another way I express myself. Vintage and thrift shops are thy friend.
