Abstract

The piece is based on a project that was assigned in my Portuguese class and was meant for us to determine the best part of ourselves and write about it. I decided to write about creativity, a quality I find to be one of the most important aspects of my own personality. My intentions were to promote and idolize this unique part of myself as it is something I cherish and constantly utilize.

Thought the idea came swiftly, the writing did not. According to Google, creativity is “the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work.” However, creativity goes beyond art and writing. Creativity is used in everything. It is how new ideas emerge, how we find solutions to problems. It is how we communicate in a language that constantly changes. It is how we analyze and think. Creativity may be a prime factor in my character but it also, in my opinion, is one the major influences in life.

A Criatividade é a arte de
quebrar as correntes forjadas
pelo pensamento formal.
Ser criativo é estar aberto a
uma mente selvagem e a um
olhar curioso.

Imaginação
Inspiração

A minha criatividade materializa-se em
diferentes formas…
Belas pinturas, música e histórias
Resolução de problemas, comunicação e capacidade de análise

Expressividade
Singularidade

A minha criatividade é constante e inovadora
e é por isso que é o melhor de mim.

Born and mostly raised in Hudson, MA, I am currently a BA candidate here at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. I am also an aspiring artist and writer studying English and have always had a passion for drawing (sometimes struggling with the occasional painting or two) and storytelling. As of right now, I am unsure what exactly my professional goals are, but I am excited to find out what the future holds.
