Art is our imagination brought to life by creativity

Listen the first key point

Humanity is a creative species and art is one major way we express this creativity. Art is the expression or application of the unique human creative skill and imagination, often in a visual form such as painting or sculpture. Art typically produces works that are to be appreciated primarily for their aesthetic qualities or emotional power. It is either simple or complex but always ingenious.

There are a lot of powerful tools for the expression of a human's creative skill; one of which is art. This summary tackles art and its creation, answering questions that many ask but find no answers.
The expression of creativity through art isn’t exclusive to one form; it can manifest in as many forms depending on the individual's creativity.
Humanity has engaged in artistic endeavors for a very long time; in fact, the first sign of humans evolving into intelligent creatures was cave paintings. We couldn't speak, but we found ways to express ourselves through art; painting. This truth explains the reason behind associating images with art, but as we evolved to speak, our thought process also became, and we discovered new forms of art.

One way to gauge the growth of a person, community, or race is through their resident art works. It is also influenced by these things as well. Art's quality is consistent within an era, race, or individual. Art acts as a means to chronicle the growth of a person, community, or race.

In the following chapters, we shall explore the concept of art, inspiration and how to rediscover new ways to bring to life existing creative works. The misconception of creativity being unique to certain individuals is a dangerous deterrent to the creation of new works of art.

There is nothing new under the sun, so don't be afraid to draw inspiration from different sources

Are you searching for an original idea? Are you stuck? Well, don't fret; there's no such thing as an original idea. Any idea today is based on another that predates it either as a loose basis or a complete “rip-off.” You probably think it is theft to use someone else's idea to make yours; well, you'd be correct, it is theft, but then that is just what art is.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
