Creativity, mike has told us numerous times over this course about creativity and that school bashes the creativity out of us, and university is in some way teaching us how to be creative again and over the course of my 1st year in game art I’m beginning to realise just how right he was.
It’s actually quite hard to get out of the routine and rules set down by the schooling I received when I was younger, it’s like learning to talk again or something along them lines, I remember in gcse in my art classes we were supposed to in a way be doing our own stuff, but it still had to fit in with what the teachers wanted, and on this course now our projects seem to be completely free, to do what we want.
As well as the arts and such, I think games is one of the areas that can benefit most from creativity, and can show it best, as in games, pretty much anything is possible, there’s that many games out there I’m sure anything you could ever want to do, and cant, there’s a game u can do it in.
In modern times, with how schooling in a person’s earlier years is handled, is seems that they are having their creativity beaten out of them, by school and teachers and such emphasizing that maths English and science are the most important subjects in school.
And also any child with the slightest behavioural problem is labelled dyslexic now days, I was talking to my mum the other day who has recently been to a typing course of some sort, it’s not typing, but it’s something to do with excel and computers, and she has never really been able to spell, and neither ha vi for that matter, but after talking to her teacher she found out that she’d be classed as slightly dyslexic just for being able to spell some words that well.
