Good Saturday morning friends of weekend experiences, I hope you are all feeling great. I for my part am very well, with everything ready for another carnival weekend. That's why before the time is short, I leave you my participation for week 244 choosing the topic I like the most from this post brought to us by @galenkp . I hope you like it.
How to start talking about my imagination? I have no control over it but precisely because it is quite exercised. The creative or artistic world invites you to be in touch with emotions to transmit them, because when you are on that side of art, you explore a lot inside yourself, what you know how to do, what you imagine, what you want to transmit.
It is quite complex and simple at the same time, if you are a musician, illustrator, actor, craftsman, almost all the beautiful things in this world have that imaginative touch that is exercised and like a muscle, growing more and more. I also believe that contact with children sometimes opens our eyes. Children do not have those mental difficulties (sometimes self-imposed) that adults have. The challenge is also to allow them to play with their imagination and learn from them.
Learning when you exercise your imagination is infinite. Anything is possible if you try, if you imagine it, if it is in your mind. I once read a quote from Tim Burton talking about the aesthetics of his films, saying that it is more important that what you do looks like what is in your mind and not what others expect to see, nor standards of beauty. That appreciation stuck in my mind since that day, it fascinates me to understand that there are no right or wrong ways to transmit, but it must be pure and exercised the way you share it with the outside world. This way you will always get a positive result to what you have just created.

The benefits of exercised imagination are multiple, but I will stick only to those that I notice occurring to me. The main one is the variety of options, i.e. I don't drown in a glass of water. Whether it's the biggest problem I've ever seen, or a silly thing, or creative blocks, having an infinite imagination and being able to combine different things, allows me to always look for creative answers and solutions. I'm the kind of person who shares his ideas, and seeks to improve them.
It also allows me to talk on equal terms with the children, to play, and even for them to look for me to play. I let myself be surprised when they tell me a riddle and discover with them a certain hope in the world, and above all, in the mischievous and shared laughter. I also believe that the growth of imagination is greater than our own, that it does not depend on years, or ages, and that imagination has no limits, so making use of it (and abuse too haha) is an innate task of the human being. You can and should find creative thinking in almost every discipline I know.
Imagination as such is a trigger for the rest, to get into the creative aspect that lets us imagine. Many drawing exercises are about that, to mix objects with actions, to change the meaning of something (colors, for example traffic lights) and to explore worlds that are not the known, they allow us to disassemble reality and reassemble it finding another meaning. I believe that imagination is to re-signify reality and understand it in another way, and the exercise is not to tie ourselves to anything, to abstract ourselves as much as possible and play, whether in our mind, creation, writing, drawing, music, etc.
And as difficult as it was to explain what I think about it, I leave to play with my imagination in carnival. I leave you with a big hug and some pictures from my personal album as a teenager, as I felt that they reflect those moments where I started freezing in images some things I was trying to transmit by exploring my imagination.
Thanks for reading me, Kiki✨
