During an
all day event on campus February 8, many of the art, theatre, and film and
digital media majors were given the task to think outside the box, and be on
the creative side. The Creative
Symposium was all about tapping into one’s full creative potential.
During one
of the many activities the students participated in. The Interactive Stations really brought out
the students creative potential with challenging and brain teasing
activities. Each station was five
minutes long and full of brain busting creativeness. Some of the stations were harder then others,
while some only required your scribbling abilities.
Many of the
student’s favorite station was, the Blackout Poem. Each student at the table picked a random
article from a pile and their task was to mark out all the words they didn’t
find relevant and make a poem out of it.
The students really enjoyed this station because they found it to be the
most challenging and noticed that once they started blacking out words the rest
of their poem just flowed out like it was meant to be in the article.

Another
station was focused on being creative through coloring. More like scribbling, each student had a
piece of paper with random lines on it, and their job was to draw something
from those lines. It could be anywhere
from a face to a bird, all that was required was that they used their minds to
come up with their masterpiece.
At the end
of the day all the students left with a better understanding that creativity
isn’t all that hard to come by, they just have to believe in it. As art, theatre and film and digital media
majors these students live off creativity.
From figuring out what voice level to speak in, to the camera angle of
the shot, every student uses creativity because that’s what makes us unique.
