How do you define “spirituality”? I believe that spirituality is a sense of what a specific individual believes in and how they live their life according to those beliefs. I feel as if everyone has a sense of spirituality whether it is associated with religion or not. People connect with their sense of self in so many different ways and I believe that there are several different levels of spirituality that one can connect to with how they live their lives.
Does spirituality differ from religion? I definitely think that they differ. Just because someone deeply believes in something does not mean that they are religious. I’m religious but I have a few friends that consider themselves to be an atheist but they consider themselves to be spiritual in other ways. However, spirituality and religion differ from person to person and both can influence how one chooses to carry out and live their life in a certain way.
How do you define “creativity”? I define creativity as a way that a person chooses to express themself. It lets individuals express certain emotions and feelings that one may be feeling. Artists use their creativity to create unique works of art that show how they are feeling or something that currently has a lot of meaning for them. Creativity allows people to use their life experiences or their imagination to create beautiful works of art and show who they are as a individual.
What is the source of creativity? I think that the source of one’s creativity comes directly from their brain. Whatever someone pictures in their mind or forms from their imagination is a direct result of what their brain is thinking and how it is working. People’s creativity can increase overtime and certain things can influence one’s creativity to increase in certain types of situations For example, people will become more creative in situations where they are extremely passionate about the subject.
When I watched the “Art:21 Spirituality Video Presentation”, I found that people try to create spirituality. However, I from Chinese culture and my culture taught me that spirituality is like a “human ghost” or an “animal ghost”. I don’t think people can create people or people can create animals. Moreover, I do not believe spirituality can represent art… if it can, we (all people in the world) are art, not “human being”.
