"TELL ME A STORY"

                                   

                                                         The Art of Creativity

 

When we think of a story, it usually involves characters, plots, and a narrative. But not all stories are created this way. Some can and are developed differently than the norm. It depends on the author.

 Creativity flows through the veins of artistic people; therefore, what they create is primarily based on their gifts.

 Allow me to break this down for you.

There are eight main types of art forms:

Painting, Sculpture, Literature, Architecture, Cinema, Music, Design, and Theater.

Based on which category the author falls under depicts which art they will create.

No matter the title, they all uniquely tell stories based on the presentation.

Writers create characters who speak through a written narrative, dimensional characters, and plots. Through this sequence of events, we can follow the story without pictures based on the skillfulness of the writer’s bold imagery and storytelling ability.

The same is true for other art forms.

Although the written word can have multiple narratives, the others are more specific to only one storyline.

The impressionist style of Claude Monet defines a detailed story. No written details exist to tell us the story of his creation, but his brushstrokes and imagery speak a thousand words.

Dancers, specifically ballet, tell a story through the movements of their bodies. It falls under the heading of Theater. Again no words are written or spoken but tell a story through expression, action, and the dancers’ emotions.

Music is one of the most soothing and creative forms of expression. It has the power to involve you deeply, emotionally, and spiritually. The composition of melodies and instruments combined with rhythm and song can tell stories words can’t express.

Some hold music as the highest form of art based on its poignancy and effectiveness of emotional expression.

Designers can also tell stories using the visual effects of colors, textures, and techniques. A well-designed room can move some to tears. Designers are in a class of their own but possess elements of a few art forms. The detail of a talented designer tells a fascinating story through fabrics, patterns, and accessories.

Through the art of creativity, artists can tell a story without words or imagery. The goal is to be unique in whatever you do. You are the narrator of your story. Be bold, honest, and creative.
