I feel that creativity is put below education, I
feel that education is killing the creativity of people. The school systems are
placing the arts at the bottom of the importance level. The arts are only
required a very limited amount, for an example one semester, or one full year.
The important subjects schools feel are Important are subjects like math, English,
history and science and the arts are taken as somewhat of a joke. The core
subjects in school do not let students be creative and let their creative side
shine, they have strict rules to their subject and they do not change. The way
one solves math problems do not change, and there is one way to solve the problems.
History is what it is and it doesn't change. Science is fact and it does not
change. English can be creative if you're writing a creative essay, but other
than that, the only subject students can be creative in is the arts. Students
can be creative in art classes and in their writing. Teachers need to let
their students be creative, the school systems need to let the students be
creative and not surround them in core subjects. Right now I am being creative
in my drawing class, we draw something different every class and it is relaxing
in a way because it lets me be creative. The arts and being creative is
important to education and to students, being creative helps students in the
long run of their lives. At the moment education is killing the creativity side
of people because art is not required like the core subjects and that is a
problem that should be solved.

Revision and creativity
Revision plays in to my creative process in a way
that makes my final piece the best it can possibly be, I reach my full
potential as a writer. When you write a first draft, then read over it to make
revisions, that process helps the writer determine what points in the paper are
necessary and what points are beneficial to your argument. Revisions of a paper
help to make sure the paper flows well and makes sense to the reader, so the
reader can understand exactly what is going on in your paper and where you're
going in the paper, what points you're trying to make and get across to the
reader. When revising a paper, one should read over it very carefully, and
sometimes one will have someone else read their paper to make sure what the
writer is saying makes sense to the reader and the writer. I had an issue
with writing my paper and having it make sense to the reader. I went to the
writing center and I feel that helped me tremendously with my creative writing
process. The tutor helped me realize some of my sentences did not make sense and
also why they did not make sense to the reader, but in my head it did make
sense. The tutor had me read my paper aloud and that helped me see what I was
doing wrong. Going to the writing center helped me be more creative with
revising my paper, I used new ways of revision that I would not have thought of
before going there for help. Revision is a great way to reach your full
potential when writing a paper and I fully recommend going to the writing
center if you ever run into any trouble, it was a great help to me!
