So in this first class of Creative studies, we have been asked to give our thoughts on Sir Ken Robinson on his speech about schools kill creativity in TED talk. I never heard of him before, nevertheless in his speech he really give me some insight of creativity and the need of it on education system. From his speech there this thing that really struck my mind which is don't be afraid of being wrong or be prepared to be wrong. As he said it “if you are not prepared to be wrong you won't come out anything original” probably I will remember this for the rest of my life.
As far as I remember in my life, I have been thought to be afraid of mistakes where punishment is waiting for each mistake that I made, but I was a hyperactive and stubborn kid, I explore the world on my own pace and on my own way and because of that I broke many “DO NOT” that my parents has setup for me. Do I get punished? Yes I did get the punishment, do I afraid of the punishment? Yes I do. Did I brake the “DO NOT” again? The answer is yes, but the next time I'm doing it I'll make sure my parents won't know about it because I'm afraid of the punishment.
As I grows older and older I'm tired of hearing my parents babbling about my mistakes, and eventually I just follow what ever they said and do whatever they want me to do without breaking any the “DO NOT”. So basically, I am now afraid of breaking rules. If someone setup a rules I will obediently follow it. My thinking process has been confined with rules and stereotype as I have been educated to not standout from the crowd.
Even after all of that, i need to re-learn or unlearn or set my self free from any constraint to nourish my creativity since I'm in this field and I'm planning to stay in it. Luckily human has ability to adept to their surroundings and I'm trying to adept to my creative environment and gradually set my self free from the old constraint.
