Description

In American society, we spend more hours working than any other activity. We live in a culture that links productivity to self-worth, work to meaning, and pressures us to embrace "the grind" over healthy limits. Cultivating creativity and examining the personal significance of work are some of the most relevant issues in modern life.Creative thinking in work is highly prized, yet there is no clear method for developing creativity itself. In this course, we examine the roots of your creativity and give you short exercises to free up your creative flow. In this course, we will engage with numerous writers and theories on creativity, work, productivity, and how you relate to them. Students will explore these issues through short creative exercises and written reflections.Dr. Chaz Underriner is a tenured professor of Digital Arts at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida.
