I learned more about the importance of creativity in the arts by one of the books I chose to read through. It was also describing the path of various artists who used art in particular to express themselves and the way they developed as adolescents with art as a form of distraction. The new search strategies that were helpful this time where the advanced search in Leatherby and selecting eBooks. I was able to email some of the pages to myself that way I can print them and read through them more carefully. I like to highlight important lines that will be useful in my research topic so this helps me gather my thoughts. As I went the Leatherby Libraries I selected advanced search and underneath that I also highlighted eBooks. I skimmed through a few until I found one that was more relevant to my topic. I’m still trying to find the right question for my research topic and I know I want it to be based on teaching and the importance of creativity but since I don’t have that concrete idea I’m struggling with my research. The search has not been as frustrating as trying to find the right topic and question. I have been doing a lot of reading to see if that will make me find the question but I’m not sure if that’s the best strategy at this point. I hope to find out I’m making this harder than it should be but then again I’m sure they call it research for a reason. I hope that I can find my topic and question soon so I can get better at researching.
