The individual creative spark concept

In my mind, in order for an artist to interpret shapes, patterns and form, you need to sketch what one sees first. You need to decipher what your seeing through a simple set of line drawings. This i call a creative spark process. Getting rid of the vast visual noise and quitening down the full detail of patterns. I suppose like a musician hears music and notes in the sounds of the wind and sea. We all see shape and form in the earth and sky. How do we visually interpret what we see? Its this fascination to interpret these patterns and things unique to ones own perspective that drives all artists im sure. This for me is one reason that life is very exciting. Your perspective would be very different to mine - Equally im sure as spark creative worthy. Its this difference in interpretation of what we see individually, which makes us artistically unique and valuable. This fervent pursuit of trying to understand all stimulus around us. This idea of going to learn artistic expression can be our greatest flaw. Instead of inspiring us it can render our enthusiasm null and void in the face of others superior creative journey work. 

This individual.pursuit of artistic creative self expression moves us away from robotic repetition and aligns us towards our own unique individualistic artistic interpretation of life.  Because the world is gearing towards becoming more and more globally artistically AI connected. It would be very sad if the strong interpretations of an artistically algorythmic machine dictated the tastes of the flesh and blood biological creatives. Obviously this would never ever happen if you never allowed it. That a superior creative machine entity would rule mankinds artistic interpretations. Would this rule not lead to our injury?!!

No you must fight to keep your own creative artistic spark tastes and expressive artistic skill.

Its why you must keep sketching, interpreting and deciphering your own artistic unique perspectives. Heres a few sketches from my note books over the many years. Not for you to be honest, for me to try make sense of this mal (afrikaans word for mad) patterned world around us. We sketch to try discover self, we draw to interpret and we doodle to decipher. 















Incase your spinning little ol pip is wondering - The shadow in some of the pics is actually intentional - Adds a bit of wildetecture drama. And you thought i was just an amatuer photographer. That i very much am, however I am also a shadow sculpture silhouette artist as well. Who apparently cant dpell or brammer, but here we are. 

I wont ever distill my writing through AI. Always raw very incorrect and pure human being aligned. These new make you look perfect AI venneer tools are working us all towards painting the human creative pallette completely black. Human individualism is dying on the battlefield of mediocre creatives wanting to appear talented bybprompting AI to do the heavy creative lifting. No matter how much one prompts AI we still wont ever have the talent of Leonardo, Van Gogh and incredible artists of yore if we dont actively promote human driven endeavor and individuality. 

A human story written by an AI machine might be good. But it will never be synaptic flesh and blood imperfectly flawed. Its those flaws i identify with and the telling if the story written by a flawed human operative is the learning and the healing process for me personally.
