When traveling on South Congress I was very attracted to the plants, reflections, and unique items that presented themselves on the street. When taking pictures I would try to use different angles to formulate perspective and create a focus point. I was interested in the nature of the street and various leading lines of South Congress. When I took pictures from the outside of windows I loved the look of the the reflections that were produced from the glass. I liked capturing the combination of various plants against the blue sky. I chose my favorite pictures by selecting the pictures that were more visually appealing to me than the others. The pictures I chose all were things that captured my attention and influenced me to take a picture of it. Overall the pictures I chose out of the large group I took were the ones that spoke to me the most and were the most aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

Pink Daniel High Concept High Touch & Tan — Where does creativity come from? Reflection
From the cave paintings of the Stone Age, pyramids and tombs created by the Egyptians, the architecture and idealism of the Greek and Roman societal art, and the rebirth of classic cultural pieces with the renaissance, art is used to convey messages and stimulate expression. Flash-forward to modern day and the same fundamental ideal is sustained within art. Art is an outlet for the portrayal of concepts and design in a matter of creation. We all take something away from art and art continues the progression of human evolution through the eras. We, as a part of the human race, are visual creatures who obtain a message and process ideas through depictions. Art sparks interest, communicates ideas, and is the root of innovation throughout history, no matter what culture.
I’m an art major in college. When you tell someone you are an art major in college they probably think to themselves that you will be selling paintings on the street or struggling to make a living, but when you think about it art is a part of everything. Everywhere we travel there is art, from the clothes we wear to the bottle of soda we are drinking. I want to innovate and use art to its fullest capacity. I want to contribute, in my lifetime, to the simplistic complexity that is art. I believe the world is a canvas, and we must leave our mark on this canvas in a positive manner, and that is what I intend to do. This passage and TED Talk about creativity and artistic fields inspires me to further my knowledge of the craft and try all of the mediums and outlets. High Concept High Touch taught me new statistics and facts that I had not known before, and these facts further strengthen my choice of field. It’s true that there is no true test to measure one’s creativity and you can not truly just limit art to the guidelines of a rubric. With math and science there are multiple ways to approach problems, but with art there are infinite. There are elements of art that pertain to all scholastic subjects and creativity is just an element that enhances one’s approach to life and problems. It was very interesting to me that some schools have begun to integrate art with their scholastic studies to better their doctors and scholars. I have come to understand from these resources and personal experience that art is the way of the future and can assist in any field. Art and creativity is the light that leads the way for mankind.
