After looking at the shoes I painted and ruined I realized that even if I hadn't smeared them, I wouldn't have been pleased with the results.

In addition, I have finished reading the entire book A Daily Creativity Journal 365 by Noah Scalin. It's great that there are no rules because there are projects seem a bit redundant. For example, one day it says work with all white materials, then several weeks later, work with all brown, then orange, black, green etc. Another projects instructs me to do someone else's job for the day and create something at the workplace. I'm not enthused about taking a day off to work somewhere else. I have worked as a teaching assistant, pizza maker, burger flipper @ Friendly's (for about 2 weeks), pan washer @ Pathmark's bakery, restaurant manager, trainer, special education teacher, private instructor, mentor, and bookseller. In addition, my father made me detail cars which included taking out the seats and cleaning under them, change tires, oil, radiators and help him fix car doors. Having to clean up after him and my students wasn't a piece of cake either. Therefore, I think I'm going to come up with some other projects to replace a few of the others when appropriate.
Hi Jeannette!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like Scalin bit off more than he could chew by going for 365 different ways to be creative. Ironic, isn't it?
