Plain Sheet Creative Workshop with Uchay Joel Chima
Plain Sheet: An Introduction
What comes to your mind first when you see a plain sheet of paper? Endless possibilities or a space of nothingness?
Creating something out of the ordinary is quite thrilling! It leaves us amazed at the wonder of creativity. The world in all its intricacies was made out of void. Seeing through this lens, you will never want for inspiration for your creative endeavor. Infinite potential leads to infinite rumination, or inaction. When anything is possible, where do we start from? Where do we begin when the sky is the limit?
Creatives are endowed with the ability to see possibilities where others see complete emptiness. In this project, we are going to explore how to:
- Generate ideas.
- Find a way to be great with what we’ve got.
- Train our mind to see potential in everything.
