Risks for Creativity: What To Be Careful Of
from:
Most of the people think that creativity is all about being creative and thinking what is nice and creative, of course. Yes, that is one of the points of creativity but that is not all that you should take notice of. Once you have accomplished being creative, you also have to take care of your creativity.
By taking care of it, it is not cultivation, like bacteria, nor is it caressing until it goes to sleep. You should, at least, be careful of whatever creative ideas you have. You have to be a little discreet at first. For if you do not, then you are risking its safety and it will probably be stolen and claimed by somebody else.
If you are much more of a technological person, with the use of computers and the like, you must, at least, put a password on your computer so that anyone else who tries to pry open you programs to get that very precious information an uninitiated artist would need, will weep in desperation for having not accomplished the theft.
Another risk is the risk of having your creative destroyed. Creativity cannot remain as an idea forever. You have to make tangible your creative idea, therefore, when you do draw you idea, or mold, or compose, or whatever artistic genre your creative idea belongs to, take care of your product. If you have made a drawing, make sure it does not get wet and other kinds of avoiding tactics. If you cannot take care of your own work then you are not cut out to be a creative artist.
Do not risk having your work destroyed just because you were careless or because you forgot about something that you really should not have forgotten.
You should also be aware of what kinds of artwork other artists have produced. You might believe that your work was original and was, indeed, very creative, yet you just do not know it but someone else has done the exact same thing. You really would not want to be branded a copycat. Your originality is probably the best bank artists have, do not lose it or have your reputation as an artist be degraded, for without your good name, no one will admire your works of art, no matter how good they can be.
Another important risk is that, you risk having your work not admired. It is not eventual that just because you like your work and you think it is nice, it means other people who look at it will like it too. That is not the case all the time. Oftentimes, the work you do is loathed by other people because of individual factors. You have their ethnicity, traditions and cultures and genders.
If you made something that was a little insensitive towards a certain tribe, then, of course, your artwork will not desired by those who belong to that certain tribe, or if you made something about rape or moldings of women's private body parts. It is not all the time that women will immediately understand your purpose or what you meant with your work. You have to be more sensitive because what you think and feel as an artist are not felt and thought by all.
