<p>There is a constant view that we experience that states creativity can be measured, rated, graded or compared to others. I even spoke to my wife stating what makes our five years old son's art not as valuable of expression as something that is in a museum. The sad truth is that the museum material is something that has support and is told to be important because of the movement or the individual who is promoted by others. Music, visual art, writing and all other forms of creative expression are the…</p><span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/creative-visions-blog/blog/6036977/creative-evolution">Read more</a></span></div>

<p><strong>There are many forms of performance and expressions. As a musician I have performed music that is light, jazzy, rock and many other styles. One style is dark ambient. As a dark ambient musician I have published four albums and love to mix the many sound styles and waves to create something unknown and unfamiliar, but still just mysterious. I like to create music the inspires images and creates scenes within a person's imagination. My Sceptre music allows me to do just that.

<p>Tomorrow I will be performing with a fellow musician, Todd Milne. While I will not be playing music, I will be performing. Back in the year 2003, I graduated with my Master of Arts Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with the concentration on the Creative Process. As part of that degree I had a performance aspect. I performed a movement piece similar to the one I will be doing tomorrow. And, I have performed it for my Creative Studies Class I teach at SCC. But, this time it will be different.

<p>Time to come back to the creative process and exploration. But, for this entry I will be reviewing the activities I've been a part of for the last few months. First, I published another Sceptre CD, <em>Fear Of</em>. Then, I was compiling and directing a staged reading of <em>The Spoon River Anthology</em> and called it <em>The Spoon River Experience</em>.

<p>My birthday was the first of this month. Okay, what is the for stating that? Well, time for one thing. Yes, I am a year older, but that's not what's important. The importance is to know that it is a moment. The moment that is socially and communally important. A birthday is a celebration. I have to refer back to Walt Whitman with the idea of "Celebrate Myself." We don't need a day to celebrate who we are and what we are.

<p>It's been a short while since my last post. But, I'm back. Now, let's look at the challenge of creative growth. Not the continual growth that happens when learning and developing your skill in the creative field you choose to participate, let's look at more of the field of changing the tools. For example, what if you are used to using oil when painting and you changed to chalk. Now, you are comfortable with the oil and you have developed skill.

<p>Imagine a world where creativity brought respect and truth in society? Well, that is an impossibility. Not because the creative search cannot bring respect, but when someone is really utilizing his/her own true creative process it is rarely recognized. It is safer to simply follow the formatting, structure and outlines given to us by others who did half the job. Yep, there are those who actively work on the creative process for attention.
