Routines sometimes take a while to get used to. Would you include this in your curriculum? How would you assess this?

Send help! Also my intern got to help me with this process (he chose the topic) :D Wed, 03 Jul 2024 04:25:51 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=3087519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/247448?scroll_to=3087519 I usually like to know what happens, but lately, I've learned that not knowing the outcome of some things benefits me even more, it gets me out of my comfort zone and allows me to critically think and problem-solve in ways that I was unsure that I even had to apply. It also leads me to new roads that I had not even thought of.

We've seen how even those with training and a natural inclination toward art are cautious about displaying their works because they feel that it will be critiqued and perhaps not accepted well. That worry even extends beyond the world of art, to singing, poetry, writing and more. Because people are scared to share their work and expose their creativity to the world they often question and doubt their own talents. This insecurity is what leads to people avoiding trying out their creative ideas. It's important to remember though, that even the most creative among us had to start somewhere!
