If they show an interest, encourage them to pursue that interest. Whether it be sports, music, photography, painting, writing... whatever, give them the tools needed to develop that interest into talent. I believe inspiration and creativity go hand in hand. <br />If the get bored and want to move on, let them. The more that they are exposed to, the better the chances of finding out if they are the next Michael Jordon, Eric Clapton, Ansel Adams, Norman Rockwell, Steven King, or a woodworker, plumber or auto mechanic. <br />I believe everyone of us has a talent and the sooner that we find that talent, the better for all.grumpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343685906689924031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-63989569782439281072011-09-14T21:28:28.630-04:002011-09-14T21:28:28.630-04:00The artist whatever the style or medium is seem to...The artist whatever the style or medium is seem to be inspired by the challenge of exposure they inspire to exposure of self through their creation. To offer exposure of ones being seems to be the quest of the arts to expose even more so than be exposed too.randrbartowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247437183707716414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-79841840567038660462011-09-14T21:08:09.740-04:002011-09-14T21:08:09.740-04:00I have always found inspiration to be magical and ...I have always found inspiration to be magical and mysterious. With no formula that works for all i find striving for inspiration sometimes seems to distract from the finding of inspiration. With inventive and artistic creative heroes (some who's ideas and creations I know of without knowledge of them as a person) it feels like inspiration finds me rather than I finding it, a beautiful serendipity.I think change can foster this so exposure affords the risk of change and the fruits it provides both sweet and sour if your brave enough to taste it!randrbartowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247437183707716414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-82626855144253298132011-09-14T15:39:51.574-04:002011-09-14T15:39:51.574-04:00I believe passion comes from within and creativity...I believe passion comes from within and creativity lies with us, however I have been greatly inspired by books, music, nature, animals and great people too. In order to uncover ones passion, I believe one should be exposed to as many things as possible.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08156614127442154611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-92075060283616471212011-09-14T11:17:26.979-04:002011-09-14T11:17:26.979-04:00I've gotta go with Ryan on this one.

The spark is often flamed by exposure but I firmly believe that what lies within is the most important piece of the puzzle of creativity.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843459906469325667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-39992438060900744592011-09-14T07:20:28.098-04:002011-09-14T07:20:28.098-04:00For my daughter (11 years) who wants to be a fashi...For my daughter (11 years) who wants to be a fashion designer I think exposure is very important. Exposed to colors, shapes, textures & other designers. She sees designers get inspired just by a wet oil puddle & create this incredible garment or jewelry or shoe. This exposure can inspire her to look at unconventional things to get ideas for her designs. Exposure to things like classes on how to sew, history of fashion books, tv shows relating to fashion (i.e. Project Runway). She is already developing her tastes and favorite designers. <br /><br />However, as her mom, I think she needs to be exposed to the "greats"... Chanel, JPG, Cartier, Halston, Bill Blass, Versace and contemporaries like Alexander McQueen, D-Squared, Dolce and Gabbana and the like. I think the history of the fashion is just as important as the future of fashion.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11019562060252268854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-1353879010589922492011-09-14T06:13:31.458-04:002011-09-14T06:13:31.458-04:00Let me clarify my assertion.

I don't believe you have to study at Julliard to make great music, nor do you have to visit the Louvre to become a great painter. The seed for creativity can come from within the artist. Jackson Pollock did not have to go to school to learn how to dump and drizzle paint, yet he took the painted arts in an entirely new direction.Racer187https://www.blogger.com/profile/06425831517476971653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692958826098214952.post-79595737308214707972011-09-14T05:51:25.112-04:002011-09-14T05:51:25.112-04:00Exposure is indeed inspirational, I can still see ...Exposure is indeed inspirational, I can still see the first Mediterranean Morning in Larnica Cyprus I ever saw, remember the first works by Warhol and Lichtenstein I saw in a newspaper, smell the hot oil and burning rubber from the first motor races I saw in Zambia when I was a kid.<br /><br />My favourite quote for some time has been 'The meaning of life is its use' inspired by Ludwig Wittgenstein.<br /><br />Another that has grown on me is "To do something well is so worthwhile that to die trying to do it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of life to do nothing with one's ability, for I feel that life is measured in achievement, not in years alone." by Bruce McLaren.<br /><br />Top blog, thanks :-)Art Tidescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680781189400367930noreply@blogger.com
