Glad it gave you a chuckle. Thanks TwidderBird.

No, I won`t tell you how I came to this, you look and your brain asks itself
why what etc. so your mind wonders (and wanders) and so it instills creativity
to your mindseye, that is the secret.
Art should explain itself, it is not the artist but the brain of the viewer that fills
in the picture. And what you see, is you.
If I tell you what or why it is, it is set, and it loses it's creativity.

I'm happy to inform that the question, "What is Creativity?", has been published on my journal in complete form- with 3 parts.
I would very much appreciate any constructive comments or crits either directly on the journal itself or right here.

I will be on holiday break as of tomorrow (12/10/10) and my access to internet/emails will be occaisional during this time. but I hope that some of you will leave feedback. thank you, and happy holidays to all.

I read part 3, at: http://wwwbluedwarfstudio-odyssey.blogspot.com/ and found it very interesting, with some charming visual selections to view. I recommend others read it. I followed your link, TwidderBird, to the test you spoke of at the Art Institute of Vancouver, and here were my results:

Left Brain 53%

Right Brain 47%

“You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the "whole" picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.”

I’d be interested in results others here end up with. See if you can beat ‘skating judge’ – I dare ya!

Have a great vacation TwidderBird and we'll see you when you return.

My numbers were almost exactly the reverse of yours. Means I'm mercurial and unfocused [tho it doesn't say that! ]

Heh - well, you seem much focused to me, John. 'Mercurial' always reminds me of that incredible robot who chased Arnie in The Terminator.
