The biggest points of this article is that it makes a point towards the difference between right and wrong answers and being afraid of being wrong. I think this is the biggest problem with some people. We grew up in schools and communities where there was the right answer and a wrong answer. But later in life we realize that is not true. Most things in life do not have a right answer. The same is with creativity. There is no such thing as right or wrong when it comes from imagination.
The fear of being wrong is something that holds everyone back. It makes everyone double check thier work to see if they are on the right track. When this happens we just limit what we can come up with and it hinders what new ideas came be thought of.
I think this article kind of sums up what OSWALD has taught us. So true - and so good. I hope everyone who hasn't been through OSWALD looks at this article and takes it to heart.
Jumping off of Kelli and Sarah, I feel that the fear of being wrong was addressed successfully and creatively in OSWALD. We had talked about this throughout the class and it really presents a problem if you don't put your all into something because you're scared of messing it up. It really hinders the creative process. I feel that is a HUGE lesson for our industry in terms of artistic vision and execution not even just in design but in management as well. You never know until you try and if you fear change you're in the wrong business.
