Joseph Mallord William Turner & Me


My sources of inspiration were mainly places / things with reflections, or plants. The artist I chose has a similar style, although he was a painter.

Everyone would collectively decide to follow someone at one point or another and then we'd break off and follow someone else. 4.) I was surprised that even in the dark, people were going up and down the steps.

Reflecting on the "Creativity Test"

  To me, the test we took was not entirely about creativity. While the main goal was to write 10 words that are as different as humanly possible, some people had certain advantages. I'm not saying because someone has a higher or lower score on that test than I had that they are more or less creative, I'm just saying that some people might have had it a bit easier if they read more than others, or if English is their first language.
