Connection: Creativity in Work and Music

             The other day we watched a video about a company that does their work a little bit out of the norm. This company used creativity in their work space to create adventurous minds to use to their advantage. When trying to invent something, we noticed from the video that it helps to have a comfortable work space to allow your mind to seek different things that it normally wouldn't. I mean that your mind may have a difficult time thinking super hard when you are in a boring office. By spicing up the work space with some color, odd shapes and abnormal equipment positioning, these people were able to use that to their advantage and create spectacular things.

             I think what really inspires me to create different things is in music. When I am at school, I am surrounded by white walls and quiet space; only hearing the ticking clock, and clicking pens. To me, I can't think of anything in that type of environment. In order to get my brain thinking up to its fullest potential, I need to have some type of music in the back ground. Whenever I'm at home doing homework or writing a paper, I have soft music playing in the background.

Just as the people from that company need their visual workspace to be unique and fun, I need what I hear to be the same way. I think I'm more inspired by music because of how it can make a person feel. Music really has the power to make a person go through a whole roller coaster of emotions. I've laughed, cried, and gotten angry even at so much music. I think that really influences me to create new and exciting things.
