Is creativity something you can train? And if so: what are ways to do so?

>> No.8952281 [DELETED] 

>>8952274
No. See women and how they can't create anything in the history of the world, they would've created something now, but they can't create at all.

>> No.8952282

I think crativity comes from information consumption, interaction with the world and a little bit of drugs (alcohol included) anything that allows you to jump a little out of the box here and there.

Then you can 'train' how to make this output accessible and pleasent.

Yes, thankfully due to neuroplasticity and the ability to change your mind by training your mind, you can.

I really don't think /lit/ is all that left leaning, there are equally as many detractors from communism as there are supporters of it. But then again, I guess anything not far-right is too liberal for /pol/

Nope. Art is a struggle. You either become an artist naturally or you won't be one no matter how hard you try. Most who try to write barely have the passion to get good at it.

>> No.8952508

>>8952497
lol, god I hate you insufferable cunts who think art is this idealistic struggle and that only those gifted in it can be any good at it.

Is it a struggle for you to accept that you aren't a special artistic snowflake? Creativity is something wholly natural that is fostered and nurtured through use, practice, and training.

Maybe he doesn't have the passion and drive, that doesn't mean he can't train himself to be creative. Maybe he spends too much never figuring out his own medium.

It's not so much about inability as it is persistence and drive.

Nope. There are people who write greater works in a few short years than most will in an entire life of honing a craft. You can't teach yourself to be sensitive or perceptive.
