M3 Chit Chat -TEST to Discover Yourself Artistically! 08-18

I like fun quizzes, even if they give wacky answers.

I got "creativity is a release." Which is pretty much true for me. I'm a pianist (by job and hobby) but I don't think of myself as very creative. I follow the notes on the page as much as I can, although I can improvise if I have to. I approach my music and art/scrapping very logically but having the result of beauty is something I enjoy very much.

I got surrealist for the 2nd one, which I don't really agree with. I tend to like cleaner art that looks more realistic.
 
Creativity enriches you
Creativity is separate from the real world for you. But it’s a magical world in which you like to immerse yourself. When you’re involved in it, you get the wonderful sensation that there are no limits, that anything is possible. What you are really looking for is harmony — you want to feel you are a part of what you create. Planting flowers, writing poetry, embroidery or putting together a photo album, these are all suited to your sort of quiet creativity. You want to fall in love with what you create. You also think of creativity as a part of you in which you can take refuge and feel protected. As the psychoanalyst D Anzieu explained, creativity acts as an ‘encouraging parent — loving, enriching and supportive’. You would love to use your creativity to retreat into a world that is kind and reassuring. For you, being creative means having the chance to become one with what you create, bathe in the glory of it and allow yourself to be taken over by it. This is why you seem more suited to the sort of creativity that calls for gentleness, subtlety, harmony and patience.

You're a Surrealist!

You certainly don't think inside the box - you might not even know where the box is. Surrealism stresses the weird, the fantastic and the dream world of the subconscious. Your art is wild, wacky and off the wall - just like
 
Okay, I thought that the questions on the Creative Style one were so out of my ballpark that it wouldn't work for me, but they nailed it!

Creativity is a release

For you, creativity is first and foremost a form of expression: it creates a special link between the internal and external worlds. It allows you to get a grasp of your powerful emotions, by moulding them into a physical form. In fact, the most important thing for you is to be able to release your emotions. You need to be able to touch them or look at them in concrete form, and to do that you have to find a way to make them come alive. This is how your desires and anxieties take shape. Keeping things bottled up creates a tension that can only be resolved once you have expressed how you feel. This means you have to be strong enough not to let yourself get swept away by chaotic impulses; if you turn your creative urges on everyday life — making a picnic, singing to the baby, choosing what to wear — you can express yourself while staying rooted in reality. Creativity is principally cathartic. It relieves a deep need, an almost primal, archaic impulse. For you, being creative is about having the power to give form to something you feel, to those deep personal issues that are often raw and disorganised. For these reasons you are usually attracted to art that demands physicality, that allows you to express what’s inside, and that unites spontaneity, strength, freedom, power and movement.

Not quite sure about the Artistic Style one, though! I thought I would be a little too linear for this!

Ok I agree on that one... but the Style? no way. I don't know about that..

For the second, I am not sure this really describes me. There were a couple of questions that no answer was the right one for me, which probably explains why I don't think this one is accurate.

You're a Pop Artist!

Pop art depicts objects or scenes from everyday life and uses the techniques of commercial art and popular illustration. Your art is hip, trendy and culturally aware - just like you!

I got surrealism on the quiz but not too sure about that. There were a few questions that I didn't like any of the answers lol.
 
I just discovered this forum is open to all for a while! Enjoyed the August video and the first quiz here. This is my result:

Creativity gives you insight
You feel that creativity provides insight into your own being. In fact, it is like therapy for you, enabling you to get to know yourself better. You seem to be looking for a way into the mysteries of the subconscious. It’s not really self-expression you are seeking, but rather the tools of self-expression: discovering what your creation will reveal about yourself. Art helps you reflect on, analyse and expand your personality. You long to be creative, and it’s not just because you need to deal with your emotions. It’s the tension between contradictions, and the need to resolve doubt that drives you to be creative. Painting pictures, decorating rooms, arranging shells in the sand — these are all creative processes that allow your introspection to roam. You can trace your life through the different ways you have exercised your creativity. For you, art is there to make sense of life. You are more attracted to artistic activities that demand reflection, planning and solitude, and the personal discoveries you make often provide answers for others, too.
 
ha ha! Well I can go simple when I want to, but I am not sure it fits me completely - but then I can be a chameleon
Creativity is a release

You're Neoclassical!

Neoclassical art was a revival in the 18th and 19th century art, which is characterized by order, symmetry, and simplicity of style. Your art is structured, orderly and neat - just like you!
