My Art

Creative Thinking

I’ve demonstrated Creative Thinking a lot so far in this art course. In particular, I have noticed that I use it a lot in my sketchbook work. While making this drawing of a bear playing a drum, I showed that I can form new ideas to create new things and I can also build on the ideas of others. At first, I didn’t quite know what to draw but once I looked over to my friend’s drawing, it sparked an idea. She was using coloured pencils to draw a rabbit playing the ukulele. I thought that was a great idea but had to figure out a way to make it unique and my own piece of art. I thought of creating a bear/teddy bear playing a drum because it had the same idea of an animal playing an instrument but it was also something I created using different ideas of my own.
