Blog 2

Hello everyone,

            In the second blog for my Art 211 course, I have to watch an interview of  doctor Raul Cuero, a microbiologist. He was discussing about creativity and advice for our everyday life. He was born in the small town, then move to bigger city and start to play basketball. Later on, he decided to pursue his creativity in education. During that time, he been through a lot of hard time because of racism. Doctor Cuero has a book, talking about himself. He talks about the reason why he wrote it in the beginning of the interview. He said many people were surprise about his high level education because of where he came from. Therefore, he wrote the book to prove that people should not prejudice. 



            Through the video of interview, I learned that in our life, creativity relates on how you process nature in connection with your assistance. In order to do it, you need to have a good observation of nature. Everything come from nature. You have to allow yourself in the nature to understand it. In our world nowadays, there are many people expect you to be in a particular way and you are being limited to that expectation. You have to change their perspective by do things they don't expect that you can do by using creativity. Creativity is based on innovation and the unknown. You need to do the unknown by thinking "outside the box" because people know what they expected.

            In many families, so many technologies are being used and lack of interaction. Everyday, we need to be more interactive with each other, communicate with ideas. This is how we generate creativity in our daily life. When you want to do something, you need to be committed and focused. The intensity in our work will make the process feel completed. Everything must have a process. It takes time because creativity is a steps process. One of his great advice is that we should learn by doing. Take critics and prejudice as encouragement to be better.
