My definition of spirituality deals with the connection between religion and the human mind. Usually spirituality would occur for your eyes only, it’s usually something that no one else can see. I remember in the show, Avatar the Last Airbender, the main character was always went through spirituality because he was the only person who could go into a different state of mind than others. Often times, spirituality can undergo decision making by the influence from the unearthly connections.
Spirituality does differ from religion because there are religious organizations that people go to, such as a church or a temple to learn more about religion. There is usually a pastor or a monk that will guide everyone to the same path of spirituality. This makes religion really organized and structural in which the directors lead you to a specific spirituality. But spirituality should be in the state of mind where no one can see the same things you can, and it’s your own pathway in what you want to believe in.
Creativity is when something is thought outside of the box. It is always different than everyone else’s idea of creativity because it usually is original and unique. But in this case, creativity is the ability to see things differently by coming from a different perspective. Everyone has the capability to be creative because they all come in different sources. Most creativity comes from spirituality because spirituality influences a lot of things.
The source of creativity usually is from artists and musicians who get it from spirituality as said before. A great example of creativity from musicians come from Church songs or songs about Jesus. They get their inspiration from religion. As for artists, they get their ideas based on symbols of what they believe in, such as a cross for Jesus, or by painting their own ‘heaven’ on a canvas to show that they believe in God and that there is a heaven. Overall, creativity comes from what people believe in.
In there, you briefly defined the words “creativity” and “spirituality”, and I am all for it. I think the better and shorter way to explain them is by using the words “percieve” and “taste” Creativity, as you said, is a something intangible, but spirituality need something visual to present it. Art objects in this sense, can be a good vehicle to deliver the spiritual significance inside of art.
I don’t like the word “creativity” because people use it so often that we can’t barely give an exact defination for it. In the art area, I think creativity has a broader meaning. It can be some new elements in a piece of art, and a completely new idioligy.
