Improving my creativity...

My personal goal to improve my creativity is to always keep dreaming and imagining. If you don't take the time to dare to dream you'll never uncover what your mind has to offer. Creativity and inspiration can come from the smallest of things. Have you ever looked up at the sky and picked out what shapes the clouds are? There is a moment where your creativity is soaring. Simple times like those can bring about the craziest of ideas. I also believe that no matter how "crazy" an idea is; it is always possible. The people who dare to dream are what make up our worlds inventions. If they didn't our world would be much different. There would be no internet, computer, telephone, electricity, etc. What would it be like if there was no creativity? Would we ever exist? There is so much to be thought of, discovered, and designed in the future. So, I'll dare to dream and continue to make our world what it is today. Will you?

Creative/Innovative Artist #4

ARTIST:
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT

He was an American architect, interior designer, furniture designer, and a writer/educator. He designed more than 1000 projects and had 500 completed. Fallingwater is one of my favorite homes that I have ever visited. Located in Pennsylvania outside of Pittsburgh, Fallingwater was built in 1935. One of the most innovative aspects is how he incorporated nature into designing his home. The home was built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run. In 1966, Fallingwater was designated a National Historic Landmark.

Creative/Innovative Artist #2

ARTIST:
ALVAR AALTO

One of my personal favorite designers is Alvar Aalto. He was a Finnish architect and designer. He occasionally is called "The Father of Modernism" in the nordic countries. This particular chair was designed for the Paimio Sanatorium of 1929-32. It was innovative because it demonstrates the possibilities of bentwood in a graceful, scrolling form, devoid of right angles and sharp geometry.

One of my most favorite innovations I have seen is the light generating wall covering. It is made of LEDs which can be dimmed to provide as much or as little light as possible.
