Creativity is the generation of imaginative new ideas, involving a radical newness innovation or solution to a problem, or a radical reformulation of problems, or an integration of existing knowledge in a different way. The created item may be intangible (scientific theory, musical composition, and joke) or an original physical object (invention, literary work, architecture, painting). Creativity involves use of everyday capacities such as the association of ideas, memory, perception, analogical…

Hearing the statement “America isn’t the great country in the world” would send most people over 75 to epileptic shock. They fortunately actually got to live through a time where that was true. We use to be number one for all the right reasons. Now we are topping the charts with number of incarcerated citizens, defense spending, and obesity. An audience hearing the truth they’ve been hiding from or even not even aware can be a bit of a shock. According to the five general principals concerning…

“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different”-stated Coco Chanel. I have always admired this whole idea of being different and having an unique identity. The thing that I never really comprehended was that I was born different, not by just my looks but by my name. Giving a name to a child that you’re seeing for the first time, and you have no idea what their personality will be, has to be a frustrating, exciting challenge. The most stressful part is that you’re reliable for your…

A couple of months ago I transferred to Mercyhurst University. Not because I was unhappy at FSU Panamanian Campus, but because something drove me to do so. A year and a half after transferring colleges, I can assure you, that I have no idea whatsoever of what that "something" was. Several months later, I still ask myself if I made the right choice. How to know if transferring colleges was a right decision, or is a good decision to consider in the future, is something that can either remain…

There has been a lot said over recent years about college graduates and if getting that college degree is even worth it anymore. Personally, I believe that it is worth it, as long as you have prepared before hand by choosing a program or field that you are passionate about and is growing.

was hiding behind and I decided to go and check it out…” began Robin. “Why would you even think that walking over there was a good idea in the first place?” I snotted back at her. “... I wasn’t finished Ted!” she responded, “as I was saying, I arrived at the last animal print and I saw cute otters. I wanted to get near them just like Ted did, but that was a bad idea. I ended up waking up the baby otters and their mother was furious, and she kept picking at my legs until I hid behind the rock.”…

In a world obsessed with knowledge we are ignorant about so many things, but is that actually a bad thing? I don’t think so. Think about death. Our death is the one thing that we are completely ignorant about. We have no idea when the moment will come when we cease to exist. Even people who have a terminal illness and have three months to live don’t even know the exact moment they will die. In our ignorance we can continue to live and embrace what we have. If we knew how we would die we would…

techniques, and ideas. For me, a BFA isn’t just a title but a way to explore and experiment with other mediums while also focusing on yourself as an artist through studio courses for improvement and knowledge. In my art making process, I do lots of research and sketches that I record in my sketchbook or digitally. I like to try new things and ideas.
