Comparing, combining, and connecting things (both obvious and obscure) is a central component of creative thinking.

Do a loony-goony dance 'cross the kitchen floor, put something silly in the world that ain't been there before.
~ Shel Silverstein
Creativity is often defined as the production of something new and useful. But a lot of times when things are new, different, or "ain't been there before", they are seen as silly.
The "silly" question is the first intimation of some totally new development.
~ Alfred Whitehead
Any creative act includes the possibility of being seen or judged to be silly. But creative people do not let this stop them. They are confident and optimistic something good will eventually come from their work.
Creative people must entertain lots of silly ideas in order to receive the occasional stroke of genius.
~ Marshall Cook
When we are angry or depressed in our creativity, we have misplaced our power. We have allowed someone else to determine our worth and then we are angry at being undervalued.
~ Julia Margaret Cameron
Some say anger fuels creativity. This quote by James Russell Lowell explains why that may be:
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Highly creative people are internally directed, with no need to impress others or maintain the status quo. They develop their own rules and standards, while rejecting the limits imposed by others and remaining optimistic about the outcome. These traits allow change to happen and are essential elements of creativity in general, and to some degree, any creative act.

Creativity is most commonly defined as the production of something new and useful. Any creative act requires a touch of the unique or an element of surprise.

A webinar on "How to make good and effective eLearning ?" on... 14 February, Valentin's Day! The speakers colored their advice with love, it's lovely awesome! Here they are: 1) Fall in love with your learners (not with yourself). 2) If you love somebody, set them free. 3) Give your learners a warm embrace. More in my sketchnotes.
Thank you Nora Ganescu, Nuno Cardoso, Nelson Ribeiro Jorge, Paul Hearn from the EU Academy!
From Deborah:
It was an honor to do Interpretive Touch Drawing at Seeds of Compassion.
Touch Drawing is a simple yet profound process. Images are created through
the touch of fingertips on paper. The process allows for direct expression
of the soul, and can be used for deep therapeutic and spiritual purposes.
In the conference setting, I use Touch Drawing to visually portray the
content and energetic qualities of the lectures and musical performances.
Through the immediacy of the process, I can create 7- 8 drawings per hour.
These drawing were created during the Tuesday event; 'Inspiring Compassion
in Our Youth; Youth and Spiritual Connection Dialogue'. If you attended the
day or are watching it online, you can use these images to enhance the
feeling-tone of the presentations. Think of them as notes from the soul.
All these images will be posted soon on the CONFERENCE ART page at
www.touchdrawing.com. Go there if you would like to order a signed, archival
fine art print. Contact center@touchdrawing.com if you are interested in
purchasing an original or receiving permission to reproduce an image.
Drawings can be enhanced with color. A percentage of any income generated by
these images will be donated to support the ongoing work of Seeds of
Compassion.
