My brother had always been an art lover. Drawing and painting had not only been his hobby, but it was his passion. He knew he wanted to pursue it as a career in his future. He joined one of the reputed Fine arts colleges in India and met people who were probably perfectly synchronized in their love for art and passionate about it as a subject. Communicating with them made me realize; the creative mind is something which is untamable and a true artist barely conforms to the dos and don’ts of the society.I found some characteristics vividly common with all the creative people I met, including my brother.
They crave for originality
Mediocrity and commonly achievable things never appeal them. Every singly though and idea had to stand apart and be original. I once saw the projects they did for their Fine arts courses. They were incredible! Each distinct from one another and the ideas exuded brilliance.
Open minded
I have known my brother and saw his fellow classmates too; they were all open minded and flexible. There was no cringing at people and criticizing others. Discussions were fun with them and they often have peculiar views on a particular subject which may or may not be acceptable to everyone! But that didn’t make them aggressive as listening to the other person’s view is one of the features of a creative mind.
Observant
A creative mind is typically observant and they watch the little things in people and the environment around them. This makes them a better analyzer than their peers. This attribute makes them a bit withdrawn and introvert by nature, with usually a small number of close friends rather than a big gang of friends. They are socially awkward because unknowingly they engage themselves in observation and deep thoughts and do not communicate much.
