In my opinion on "Does school kills creativity?" (The sentence, not the video), it really depends on how one thinks. Yes, we all know some parents can be very persistent in forcing their kids to study and doing anything else (drawing, singing, playing with an instrument, etc) is a "waste of time" and "should not be bothered with" as "it does not promise good future/salary".
In a way, these thinkings are killing kids' creativity and freedom to express. Let's think back ; if it wasn't for creativity, we wouldn't have the computer, the internet, a table to work on, a chair to rest on, a bed to lay on ; and most importantly, we wouldn't have - the lightbulb.
Though, I have to agree and disagree with Angie's opinion on "I can say that most people, if not everyone, are very creative when they are young. The matter is whether a person grow out of exercising their creativity", because I think EVERYONE was once creative, no matter who they are, all children alike. Heck, I think even the most unproductive/lazy person can think up of the wildest/whackiest idea ever. Like say, who knows a lazy person can think of something like "i wish i can make a device that can clone myself and do all the work so I can be lazy for life"? As for the matter on whether one wants to continue their creativity, I agree. Because once one decides to give up being creative and go the "normal" life, that's when their creativity decreases.
Creative Image of your friend – please scan and put it in the blog with descriptions, expressions, experiences, etc. Send this image to your friend. Use the creative image your friend has done of you as your avatar/photo of you in the blog.
Well, here's my image :
This is a picture of Khai Wen. Why black and white? Because Wen is a simple (black and white - simple colours) guy, with a simple life. :D Wearing his favourite shirt, being GAR! What is GAR? GAR is a term used in an anime series, that later turned into a trend, and now it means "being manly". As you can see, I drew Wen in a very cute-ish and simple style while he's trying to be manly, because he's not at the manly stage, YET.Good luck being manly in the near future, Wen!
