"Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced."

– Ned Rorem

Creativity Exercise - March 2006

Memories:

Create a piece of work that reflects a memory. Perhaps a childhood one. Which memory pops when you think "childhood memory"? Have you ever created anything incorporating this memory? If not, why not? That might spark another piece of work.

What was the most recent intense experience that you anticipate being a memory? Was it wonderful? Or tragic? If tragic, is it too fresh to work out through your art?

Affirmation

Whatever the memory, I can use the emotion in my art. My memories do not control me, I control them.
