The green of fresh grass, the blue of open sky,
The yellow sun smiling at me when in heat I fry;
The white of wise moon feeling proud to shine with borrowed light,
The red of rose and the pink of weather just right;
The black of night with silver glittery stars,
And there stands a little princess with golden heart!
Water is life, or,
Is life water?
We can see our reflection in the water but do we ever realize how water reflects our lives many times?
Sometimes we are calm and composed as beautiful peace giving lake,
Sometimes we are stormy as the ocean and full of wavy emotions and thoughts,
Sometimes we get sucked in to the whirlpool of the circumstances,
Sometimes we have to find our ways or create our ways in life like a free flowing river and reach to our goals.
As the colours mix with water changing its colour, why can’t we be open and welcome the changes in our lives?
As water allows sugar, salt and lemon to mix with it to make it a tastier and refreshing drink, why can’t we allow ourselves to learn new things in life and become better human beings?
Flame, a place to explore
Flame, a place for freedom, the freedom of thoughts and expressions…
Flame, an opening for new ventures
Flame, a direction to new avenues
Flame, a mix of cultures and innovations
Flame, a new vision of life
Flame, a horizon of hope
Flame, a blank canvas to paint new possibilities
Flame, my new friends and FLAMILY!
I am
I am life;
The life that has many faces,
The faces that tell many stories,
The stories that lead to many paths,
The paths that offer many choices,
The choices that lead to taking decisions,
The decisions with many challenges,
The challenges that require courage,
The courage that emerges from confidence,
The confidence to move ahead and fight,
The fights of day to day struggle,
The struggle to achieve the goals,
The goals of my career and happiness…
We inspire our creative thoughts in many ways. More we observe and explore our surroundings; more we generate new ideas from that. Exposure to different art works of different artists of different places doing their creative work in various fields can also inspire us to come up with new thoughts. Just seeing the good work can provoke an artist within us.
Many times we have limited time with us and we have to crack a unique idea. How do we do that? If we have practiced coming up with new ideas within given time and if we have done some thought provoking exercises, it surely helps us at such times.
Many times, we can also invent our own ways of portraying a same thing differently than its usual manner. It is called “out of the box” thinking. We are so used to doing the same things in the same ways that we can’t think of the alternatives. Why do we bind our minds? We can first come up with ten different ideas without stopping our mind to think in any particular direction. Once that process is done, we can decide on which idea is feasible and discuss it with the other group members.
Research is also a helpful tool as it gives us the base to prove our point and elaborate upon our idea. If we can get to the root of the problem, from there itself we can think of the solutions at different points.
Visual creativity depends upon the knowledge of different subjects like, colours, space, lighting, time of the event, visual puns etc. More knowledge we have on these subjects, more effectively we can communicate our ideas visually.
One spark of an idea can lead us to making strong, communicative and effective visuals. They can be related to art, painting, advertising or visual storytelling of cinema.
Idea is the key to success in any creative field!
