Children and adults alike need to celebrate in play. Play, an important aspect of our lives, often gets marginalized as we focus on the day to day tasks set to us. Play at its heart involves creative thinking and joyful exploration. What Potential was written in the hopes of sharing with people how to simply, and through everyday practice, encourage creativity. The book shares the aspects of our thinking that help and hinder creativity. It clarifies why it is important for us to open ourselves to creative endeavors and how doing so allows us to revel in our own humanity. What potential was created in response to the numerous people who have said to me things like "I don't have a creative bone in my body." Everyone's bones are chock full of creativity, we just need to remember how to access the creative marrow there. Fear replaces experimentation, worry fills the space in which fun used to reside. There are scholars talking and writing about creative thinking - but this is often theory. This book was written to make the bridge between theory and practice to guide the reader closer to their own potential, to help them remember what we are all given from birth, the love of discovery and the ability to put this love to the task of play and creation. There are 72 different activities, 3 listed at the end of every chapter, and most require little more than imagination. Many can be done such places as riding in a car, waiting for an appointment or when looking for something quick to do to fill a moment. What Potential hopes to make it easy to get back to our creative core.
Rhonda Mann grew up in the Seacoast area of Maine and New Hampshire. After school she traveled and lived in many places throughout the United States. Rhonda is a lover of art. She is an art educator of all ages, with a Masters in Arts and Teaching. She has worked with all ages in public and private schools, including her own Oblio Studios. She finds that tapping into the joy of creating and love of learning is key to her teaching practice. She is continually astounded by the wealth of imagination we all have within our reach, which is often fueled by the natural world. Rhonda loves sharing in the abundant creativity of the people she teaches, and this inspires her in her own work. Rhonda is enthralled by the natural world and human interactions. The way nature affects us, and people affect one another, are endless sources of fascination. She creates abstract paintings based on emotional events, as well as realistic, nature-oriented pieces, sometimes combining both concepts in a single piece. Her varied background compliments her varied art styles. She likes to experiment; playing with styles, ideas and media. She shows her work at many venues around her home in Southern Maine. Most of all Rhonda loves heart-based exchanges with people, and considers friends her greatest gift. Through the process of writing this book Rhonda has learned more than she could hope to communicate. The students and friends who star in her stories have made a lasting impact on her life, and she will be forever grateful for the experiences she has lived. People have helped expand her own creativity in ways she never imagined, and being able to share a bit of this wisdom with others is an honor. She hopes this book helps others to cultivate creativity in their daily lives.
