May 30th is the perfect day to unleash your imagination and let your creativity flow freely! Why? Because it’s National Creativity Day! Today we celebrate the inspiration, the motivation, and the creativity that keeps our world continuously moving forward. Whether you are a trained professional, an apprentice, or simply an everyday individual, National Creativity Day is a day to celebrate being unique, special, and unapologetically yourself! Film producer and president of ScreenwritingU, Hal Croasmun, founded National Creativity in 2018 to “celebrate the imaginative spirits” and show appreciation for all the makers in the world.
Many might assume that National Creativity Day is a day to strictly celebrate traditional artistic mediums such as paintings, photographs, poetry, books, music, and movies. But, what about the paint being used? What about the camera and film? Who wrote the books, built the instruments, and designed the movie set? Creativity is not just limited to a pencil and paper or a brush and some paint; examples of creativity can be found everywhere!
Take a look around – everything within your sight right now was created because of someone’s idea. Computers, phones, cars, even your house and clothes were all created by someone who had an idea and then brought that idea to life. Engineers, scientists, architects, chefs, fashion designers, (and more!) are all examples of creative careers that have shaped the world.
National Creativity Day is a great day to celebrate as a family! No matter how old your children are, it is so important to inspire children of all ages to tap into their creativity. Finding something that you all enjoy together not only builds a stronger family bond, but it fosters confidence for years to come. Try some of these fun creativity activities today, tomorrow, or this weekend:
No matter how you choose to get creative today, the most important thing to remember is that there is no wrong answer!
