CREATE NATURALLY - CREATIVE SYSTEMS

Creative Systems - an initial description
A system is a method of expression; a technique is a way to improve the method. A creative system is the term for all the fundamental methods humans use to express themselves creatively. Let’s direct these systems toward our efforts to be more creative and to use creativity for personal growth. Systems are more general than techniques which are specific tools.
So how do we become more creative? Let’s consider creative systems. A creative system is any method for expressing or communicating. A system can be discovered and developed like mathematics or scientific inquiry. A system includes drawing, language, writing, music or movement. They are ways to express one’s creativity. Improving your understanding or mastery of any system will naturally benefit the quality of your creative expressions. Mastery can also benefit your understanding and expression in additional different systems as well.

A creative system is the method or vehicle through which creative expression flows into manifestation. There are many systems that are used for expression of creative energy. Here are a few of the systems and as always feel free to add to this list:
Spoken and Written Language
Drawing
Music and Singing
Sculpting
Paint
Photography or Motion Picture Art
Mathematics
Design
Building or Manufacturing (preceded by research, development, design and planning)
Dance
Acting or Performance Art
Scientific Methodologies

A key to greater mastery of creativity is study and practice of your preferred systems of expression – mastering your craft. Continually adopting creative attitudes will encourage progress in improving system skills. Dedication to continual learning and exercise builds confidence and skill. There are always ways to improve and expand upon and use creative systems. Challenging oneself to learn new systems is an excellent way to expand creative skills.
An example would be learning music in early childhood might help one understand mathematics. Learning to comprehend and use language, especially by reading, can help writing abilities.

From the days of the cave dwellers men and women have found many ways to express themselves and communicate. These communication or creative systems – writing, speaking, drawing, etc. all originated from primal creative desire and thought.
All systems or vehicles for creative expression can help us become more creative by mastering them. So this is pretty simple – we learn, study more, exercise or practice to enhance our creative skills in any system. This allows us to have a better natural flow to expression or thinking. Of course when we are able to feel freer and more confident our creative efforts can become better. Be determined to increase skills and knowledge in any of the many ways of expressing as a life long learning effort in your proactive lifestyle.

Creative techniques like brainstorming will be addressed in the next several posts. Creativity is fulfilling so Stay Creative Steemers!
