Elaboration is the ability to design, enhance, add, and subtract details of something old to make it look new again. It's one of the cognitive concepts of creativity. Last time, my Creative Teaching professor gave us homework entitled "How To Elaborate My Life."
Hmmm.. I came up with this list:
- Dive into anything and every thing I do.
- Fall in love.
- Change my looks (from hairstyle to clothes) from time to time.
- Have a tattoo?..
- Learn different kinds of languages.
- Learn different kinds of sports.
- Learn how to do different kinds of crafts.
- Try different kinds of food and drinks around the world.
- Get lost.
- Water Adventure: swim with dolphins and/or whales; ride a submarine; etc.
- Sky/Space Adventure: fly an airplane; ride a space ship; sky dive
- Land Adventure: go hiking, mountain climbing, etc.
- Have a food business, maybe a store selling sandwiches and fruit shakes.
- Invent a time machine and a mind reader.
- Travel the world.
- Experience how different kinds of people live from time to time.
- Spend a week in the beach.
- Help less fortunate people.
I wish I could do some things here. Life's really exciting! There's no reason for us to be bored with it. All we have to do it to look around and be creative to make it more exciting. We can do trillions of things!
