Psychology

Please look at the other two files they’re examples: Barbara Mcclintock Triumph of Naturalist and art Spiegelman Drawin.

Part I.

Identify a current creative individual who interests you. Locate a fairly in-depth interview or story on this person. (This can be any format, i.e., written review, online interview, podcast, etc.)

Why are you interested in this person?

What identifiers of creative achievement were cited by your source to support this person’s creativity?

Include a link or digital copy of your source.

Part II.

Read or listen to your source again.

Adding onto Part II, what did you learn about being a creative person?

Start with all the things that stood out to you.

You can add from the following (especially aspects that stood out to you):

Childhood and Adolescence: What were they like in school and at home? What was their home/family life like? When did creative interests emerge? Were they a “prodigy?” What were they like as teenagers? How did they respond to authority?

Did you learn anything about their creative process? Do they talk about where their ideas come from? How much of their creativity is just plain work and how much inspiration?

Did you get a sense of their personality or what type of person they are generally? (Did this give you sense that creative persons are different from you or similar to you? What would it be like to be friends with, work with, or be married to a creative individual?)

Part III.

Continue with Part II. Based on what we’ve talked about in sections four and five of the course, add anything else that stands out to you.

Add annotations to the notes you’ve already taken to show how this fits into what we’ve discussed in lecture.
