Your task is to reflect upon and describe what you have noticed about your creative process to date during this course. Your paper must contain the following elements:
1. A description of your creative process including: what it looks like, how it is similar to or different from when you first started the course, what affects it, supports it, and/or derails it. How does it change when working with others?
2. Examples from your experiences in this course that you use to help demonstrate your creative process including: at least 2 excerpts from your postings, methods and processes you used to complete activities and/or assignments, your interactions with others, and any challenges you encountered
3. Examples from your observations of your classmates’ words and actions in this course that you compare and contrast to your own creative process to further describe it including: excerpts from classmates’ postings and your observations of their creative methods or processes. You could also use someone in your work or personal life if you are aware of their creative process.
Your paper should be 2 to 4 pages.
Make sure you transition between sections of the paper and build to a logical and obvious prediction about your creative process moving forward in your daily and professional life. Make sure you edit for correct mechanics and useful word choices.
How your paper might look… ·
Introductory paragraph – explains how your view of the creative process has changed or become reinforced (or both) based on what you have experienced in this class, and how your creative process functions ·
Support paragraph(s) – transitions to examples of your experiences in this course with activities and assignments, showing how these support what you’ve said in your introductory paragraph ·
Support paragraph(s)-- compare and contrast your process with others in the class, in your workplace and/or your personal life
Conclusion – restates a more comprehensive communication (statement) of your current view of the creative process now that you have supported it AND extrapolates to how you think you will continue to view and use the creative process day-to-day and professionally as you move forward in your life.
NOTE: Be sure that you USE any examples you paste into your paper. Make sure they are there for a reason, specifically to illustrate your point. Choose your words carefully to make sure they do this for you; do not simply include examples.
