Great video as usual, Albert!! Creativity is synonymous with many things...but a few words stand out for me such as originality, innovation, modification etc. I agree, you can 'learn' to be creative. But you have to experiment and use your imagination when playing with materials. 'Tinkering' is another term for it. Once you acquire some experience with how things work and what is possible, it becomes easier. But you will have good days and bad...sometimes the ideas flow and other times not so much. This is a good video because it makes me think of 'mind mapping'. That's a really good method for generating creative ideas. You write a word down and start branching off associations from that central concept(like a spider with many legs): Ex: (TREE) - forest - wood - lumber - house - carpenter - tools - etc. Then you can expand on each of the subsequent words. Eventually you end up with a 'map' of words that you can then start to cross associate for concepts you might never have thought of before: Ex: (FOREST) - conifer/deciduous - animals - ranger - park - picnic - camping - etc . . . There are formal ways of doing this that I'm not explaining well here, but, you get the idea.
Thanks, Jarl, for sharing. To begin with mindmaps, I'm terrible with them. My mind seems to be wired differently. If I write down a word like TREE, my mind goes blank after a few words. And I get a headache. But when I look around, I can connect anything to anything. Like the squares in the video. That's why I made the video to show another method besides mindmapping. I also have better days than others. But from experience, I learned I can't force (mental energy) my mind to be creative. But when I play or distract my logical thinking, by reading a book or looking at the clouds or going for a walk, an endless stream of thoughts and ideas starts to flow. In a way, I can control 'being creative' like that. It's like in the back of my mind that the creative process is always up and running, but other processes were screaming too loud. I hope this explains it a bit. Albert
Thank you for being wonderful person and teacher 🥹🥹you inspired me and I will work on each of your videos accordingly 🥹THANK YOUU GLAD THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU IN THIS PLATFORM 🙏🏼
Ohje, je länger ich darüber kreativ nachdenke, desto unmöglicher ist es mir, zu beschreiben, was Krativität ist. Kreativität entsteht im Kopf, wenn alle Bereiche unseres Gehirns zusammenarbeiten, ein Brainstorming abhalten. Im 2. Schritt wird dann dieses gemeinsame Ergebnis der Gehirnteile der Umwelt (anderen Menschen) mitgeteilt. Dies geschieht mit Hilfe der aller Möglichkeiten, die einem menschlichen Körper zur Verfügung stehen. Also Laute/Sprache, Gestik, Mimik, Gestaltung durch die Hände. Und im dritten Schritt sollte idealerweise dann dieses Ergebnis auch von den Mitmenschen erkannt und gewürdigt werden. Was du in diesem Video vorführst, ist unbestreitbar als Kreativität zu bezeichnen. Wenn ich nun aber die 4 Einzelbilder zeige, wo du das rote Quadrat jeweils um 90 Grad drehst, ist das nicht als Kreativität zu erkennen, weil ja alle 4 Bilder dasselbe zeigen. Übrigens, bei deiner Aufzählung hast du einen ganz westentlichen Teil vergessen: Die Erstellung der Schablone! 🙂
Thanks, Otmar. Creativity is a fun concept to wonder about. What makes it even more fun is that you need your creativity to find the right words. The 4 paintings are a teaser. It looks like the same painting, but each situation is different. It would be easier to accept when it was a portrait, The making of the stencil is shown in the first 15 seconds of the video, I guess you missed it. Albert

I love your videos. They are so simple and engaging.
Thanks, Clifford. I love simplicity, it makes it more approachable. Albert
The options for creativity are pretty limitless. Perhaps that is why art is boundless. Thanks Albert.
Thanks, Culture Fan. Yes, and that's why it keeps amazing me. And it's fun to do as well. Albert
I love your freedom. You reminded me of the Frame that I like to use. I remember that from another video of yours.
Thanks, Connie. It's just fun. Frames are great. Happy painting, Albert
Great video as usual, Albert!!

Ah, sorry, I now get it. I guess you can look at it like that. Thanks Otmar.
Your Videos are as always very Creative,
But with this german Translation it is not passible to focus properly and see your work!
Thanks, chibi. Perhaps you can switch off the translation? Or watch with and a second time without? Hope this helps. Albert
