I think that for many people there is a bit of maturing or realizing your place that has to take place before we can be ready to learn. I seem to have taken a path much like yours, making it through high school by the skin of my teeth but now I love learning. It can be problematic at times but I am constantly looking for something new to discover and I love the process!

I agree with you. Creativity is something that is quite difficult to teach. That is why, at least with the architecture school here, the method is to guide the students through the development of their own creativity. In other schools of thought the student picks a professor in order to copy or emulate that specific type of design (almost like an apprenticeship).

I don’t know whether or not I can agree with the statement that “either you are or you are not” in regards to creativity. I do not know your own personal context, but I believe that creativity is something that everyone has at least some ability in (talent is also helpful). Creativity just needs practice and everyone has their own type. It is a spectrum of abilities and styles. Creativity is just when you think something up that would be fun or enjoyable and then you do it. Drawing and design is not the only way to be creative.

Interesting. It is kind of hard to teach creativity. Either you are or you are not. I was always artsy but when it came to drawing, I never knew what to draw. And teacher tried to “teach” me to be creative and think of something. But I still just looked around the room and took parts and pieces of my classmates drawings and reproduced those. To this day I don’t know what to doodle in boring classes.
