Grace - Creative
Being creative is an important characteristic for people who lead social change. The ability to create especially new and original things. I think that everyone needs to be creative, because people who are creative have the power to create something amazing and unique. Sarah Uhl is creative and so am I.
Sarah Uhl is a leader of social change. In the text, “Sarah Uhl: Illustrator, Adventurer, Chris Van Luven says, Uhl has identified as an artist her whole life, but only recently has she found her niche by expressing herself in the outdoor industry” I chose this quote because Sarah has just found that when she works outside than she draws better. Sarah Uhl is creative by traveling around the world to draw different landscapes. In the text, “Sarah Uhl: Illustrator, Adventurer, By Chris Van Luven says, she began taking on more stops to her travel and kept her itinerary loose: show up, paint every day and share her work with followers on social media.” Sarah Uhl works hard as an artist and a adventurer, she works hard to paint art every day and bikes to new places where there is a quiet place to sit and draw. Sarah Uhl changed the way people look and think about nature by being creative and drawing new things about nature, Sarah makes her paintings unique by splashing different colors into her artwork that don’t really make sense.
I am creative by drawing and finding new ways to make my drawings unique, I add colors that people would not normally put in a piece of work, for example I put light pink in a green tree and it doesn’t really make sense because apples are red and cherry’s are also red, I have needed this quality by thinking that I can create and draw anything. I have been drawing pictures my whole life, but recently I found out that I can draw anything if I put my mind to it, Because once I tried to draw a picture of a dress, but it did not look good. So I tried again this time it looked way better and I was proud of myself for trying again and improving my piece. I could use this quality to lead social change by creating a art piece that can change the way people think of something.
While creating my yard sign for the 5th grade campaign for leadership, I had to make several design choices, I used the font RYE because I thought that it would give the word a more original look, and it makes the word unique. I used all the colors of the rainbow, because I think that the word creative is colorful art.
Being creative is an important factor of success for people who lead social change. This quality is important because if you can’t figure out what you want to say in a presentation than you need to be creative to say your plan in a way that people will understand it better. This quality relates to leaders of social change because all leaders of social change run into problems, so they need to be creative to find different ways that they can fix these problems. This matters because some leaders of social change are known for being creative, for example Sarah Uhl is known for changing the way people think about nature by adding more color splashes to her paintings about nature.
