Reflection Paper On Creative Experience

There are differences between Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Testing is a large factor in accurately assessing the full scope of the assistance a client may new. Depending on the needs of the client the Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) could be a better fit. In considering the tests that exist, one sample population LMFT’s are likely to work with are children. Development is always a major factor in children with intellectual or behavior issues. One test that is dynamic to this factor is the Profile of Creative Capabilities (PCA).

Photography, meaning “drawing with lights” in Greek, is an art as well as a science of capturing light and storing it on a medium with unprecedented accuracy. Yet, up until the late 18th century, history was mainly recorded through the techniques of painting and the press. These mediums unarguably contained a certain degree of a truth, though, it was not uncommon for events, such as war to be composed with glorified details, or an unfavorable bias from the artist at hand. Beginning in the 1830’s, cameras provided a revolutionary solution by combining the advancements in optics and chemistry. Consequently, the new medium of photography was established and forever changed how history would be visually captured. Unlike other methods, photography

The creative curriculum classroom is a community. In the creative curriculum classroom, instruction is based on observing and developing what the children say and do. Based on Vygotsky's term zone of proximal development (ZPD), creative curriculum teachers provide learning experiences that are challenging enough to move children to a higher level of learning, not so challenging as to frustrate them. Creative curriculum teachers facilitate growth and development of all children in the class and create a classroom environment in which their own effectiveness can be affirmed.(Colker)

For this essay the works of Robert Draper, author of “Why Photos Matter,” and Fred Ritchen, author of “Photography Changes the Way News is Reported,” will be analyzed. Though both deal with the topic of photography, their take on the matter is very different. While Ritchen is a photographer who writes on “what professional photographers will be doing in the future,” Draper is a writer for the National Geographic writing on how the photographers of the magazine share “a hunger for the unknown.” Both writers, however, write on the topic of photographers having a deeper understanding of their subjects, Ritchen due to research and practice, and Draper because the photographers “sit [with] their subjects, just listening to them.” In both essays the need for a deeper understanding of the

The Daniel L. Goodwin Distinguished Lecture Series featuring James Carville and Mary Matalin was very interesting. The wide-ranging discussion was based on the current state of politics in the United States. The married couple talked about how they feel about the first 10 days of the president's term. They used a unique way of catching the crowd attention by body language and jokes that referred to what one another was saying. Both Mary Matalin and James Carville came with facts and reasons they felt backed up their arguments. James Carville seem to have been more supportive to Democrats, while Mary Matalin seem to be more of a conservative. The covered topics such as: obama care, LGBT, and Immigration Law. The discussion ended with opening

For the entirety of the fall semester, I took on a project to create a three-page layout for a fictional campaign in National Geographic magazine about endangered species. The goal was to create different content for my portfolio, challenging my skills in photography and photo-manipulation. I transformed people into animals and used gel lighting and Photoshop to create my artwork (see Appendix A figure 1 & 2). At the end of the semester, I reviewed my completed pieces and two theorists best fit my creative process, Julie Burstein, and Teresa Amabile. Julie Burstein discusses the best way to foster creativity is by ‘letting go’ she outlines this in four lessons (Campbell and Dubois, “Artist Best practices” 25). These lessons include experiences, challenges, limitations and loss (Campbell and Dubois, “Artist Best practices” 25). While Teresa Amabile discusses how the theory of creativity is fostered through her componential model of creativity (Campbell and Dubois, “On theories of” 14). These include domain-relevant skills, creative thinking skills and motivation (Campbell and Dubois, “On theories of” 14). Both of these theorists go hand in hand providing me with the framework for my best work. This essay will discuss how Amabile’s theory for intrinsic motivation and Burstein’s lesson of experience and loss, align in my creative process to be conducive to my work.

Joshua’s research with children and youth combines political anthropology, cultural history, and community engaged creative arts to lift up the voices of kids. He has been a TA for History and Global Arts courses. Most recently, Joshua illustrated his research approach to two Photography classes so students could learn specific uses of photography as a research method. These talks sparked the interest of several undergraduates who expressed excitement that photography could be used in research. They also expressed interest in working with Joshua on future research with children in the local

Ms. Arturi studied photography and humanities at York University, eventually transferring to Ryerson’s four year arts program. Her earlier works feature fashion photography and documentaries. However, because photography has greatly evolved

In this particular event I learned that mental illness is becoming a growing epidemic around the world on college campuses. The reason it is becoming a growing epidemic is because mental illness is considered an invisible disease, which means because a person can’t see that you’re sick it doesn’t mean that you aren’t sick. Atrocious crimes on college campuses have been attributed to mental illness, thus increasing the negative connotation associated with the condition. As a result, those who suffer from mental illness often feel they must remain silent during their struggle. I think it was really good for college students to hear that they are not alone in fighting mental illness and that it is ok to seek help. I really enjoyed listening

This essay is a reflective essay on my learning development from a young age through to my current position as a University Student. I will be relating my learning development back to two theories of human development, Vygotstsky’s socio-cultural theory and Marcia’s version of Erikson’s theory of identity development. I will identify and discuss the challenge I have faced with my identity and how this has impacted on my development.

On the same night, we also had a visit from Carol Davis who graduated from both UNC- Chapel Hill and  Columbia University. She currently serves as the executive director of the S.G Atkins Community Development Corporation and the WSSU special assistant to the Chancellor. She gave us some very valuable information on communicating in the her field, and she also told

I was very nervous when I first entered Jim Gunshanan's class. I had no idea what transmedia was and how I could use it to write. Jim showed me and the rest of my classmates the way. I never realized how much of my daily life was consumed using the tools transmedia creators use. I never knew until Jim's class that I can useFacebook, Twitter, and Instagram to tell a complete story. I truly feel my talents will be used effectively in the field of Transmedia. I will always appreciate Jim's class because his was the first class I was allowed to actually film what I wrote. Filming my Transmedia project is the absolute highlight of the program. I loved going into the woods and filming on the backlot of the school. Being in Jim's class allowed me

Within this project the teacher candidate was able to interact with a peer teacher candidate and communicate effectively about personal experiences within the field. The teacher candidate was able to implement the knowledge and skills learned in professional development in the teaching and learning process. The teacher candidate made reflective implications of behavior management strategies and formal pedagogical practices of the professional teacher she observed, and touched on future use in her own classroom.

The term creativity is used for the purpose of describing the ability that is concerned with the process of creating something new or valuable. This ability allows a person to surpass the rules, practices, methods, forms or similar kind of activities that the traditional society may be performing at that time. Creativity is one of the most important things that have allowed the people of the society to move forward and urge for development. All the development that has been made in various aspects of human life can be directly connected with the creativity. All the industry leaders of the world have secured this place because of the level of creativity and innovation that they showed. They used this creativity for creating something new that has allowed them to develop completely new methods for this purpose.

Change, creativity and innovation are essential elements for survival and growth of an organization. Creativity is vital for the birth of fresh and beneficial ideas.
