Creativity can be a daring adventure. Have you experienced falling into a creative project, getting lost in its details, and being transported beyond time and place? This lesson focuses on inquiry and the creative process.
Sometimes creativity can be surprising, leading us to places (both in the world and in ourselves) we could have never imagined.
A simple way to open your creative process to adventure is via curiosity. We can live our questions and it can feel like a grand adventure. It's a way of staying present in work that is meaningful for you.
There is a lot of buzz in education about inquiry. It's a research-based way to learn. To become a better creator, we need to become better learners. Regular practice of inquiry, curiosity, and living your questions can help.
Use some of these questions as entry points. You may even wish to create an Inquiry Jar to allow you to focus on one of these questions each day instead of all the questions at once: Opening Up Inquiry Through Questions.
“Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”
Rainer Marie Rilke
If you had unlimited money, time, and opportunities to choose, what adventures would you go on? After you make your list, rank them. Make a collage.
