Eileen Clegg's Shout Out for Creativity. Part 3.

a mural created by Eileen Clegg for the SOS09 - raising funds for http://wonderwebby.chipin.com
The role of creativity in our new world of being connected/transparent/many voices with the world of knowledge at our fingertips...
"The more we can express ourselves and what is authentic about us, we are sharing with others to add to (this) collective knowledge...
So it takes a little bit of risk on everybody's behalf to be open and out there with what we are interested in.

It also helps us to get the information we need, so the more we can define ourselves, our creative selves, what we are interested in, our knowledge - then it makes it easier for other people to find us as well, so we can work together..."

When we use visuals to express ourselves we are saying: 'this is a picture of what I am thinking right now' we are not passing judgment on the world or trying to tell it like it is.

We are saying 'this is what I see right now' - and that's the best part about creativity - it's completely individual, nobody can argue with it - and it's always wonderful."
