Jason Theodor and the Creative Method

Firstly, the main notion that Jason Theodor centralized his method on was the fact that copying was not being creative. In order to be creative, you have to dig deep within your mind and make up your own individualized thoughts and really surface mental images that were not taken from a previous experience. Creativity is a path to unravel things that you may have no even known were present within your mind, its not effortless. With this being said, the idea or definition of creativity is almost a self-fulfilling prophecy. You can think of the word creativity in any way you want as long as your perception of it is a driving force for you to reach your ultimate creativity level. And if there is not definition, then there is no technique. It is invalid to guide someone in a direction if they are attempting to be creative because people can be creative in their own way.

The ideas expressed within a creative manner is not solely if it is making the person a more creatively oriented artist but more so if they are on the right path to becoming more creative. It is important to keep in mind the significance of a piece of artwork that not only challenges you but makes you more aware of the type of artist you are. Waiting for the right opportunity is never justified, an artist themselves is the right opportunity. In my opinion, there should not be any "writer's block" within an artist's mental process because they should always be open to enhancing and shaping ideas. I think its important to realize how much information is stored within an artist's brain and it is only them who can access it. That is why individualization is the necessity of creativity, it cannot derive from another human being. An efficient way to push through a block within an artist's mind is to write down how one is feeling or what experiences they have gained. In this way, they can let their mind do the talking, almost as if having a journal could depict images for the writer. Along with this, an idea should not solely express itself but moreover should produce a chain of ideas that the artist can run with, preventing any block from happening in the future.
