RAUL CUERO's interview about Creativity

Every single person in the world can take something away from Raul Cuero.  He used all the discrimination and adversity he faced as fuel to achieve more in life. He never settled for anything less than what he deserves, which is a fair and equal opportunity to pursue his dreams.  It is not about the cards you are dealt, it is how you play the hand.
     
     So many people in this world want more for themselves, but few are willing to put in the hard work and dedication it takes to get there.  Raul encourages you to do everything with intensity and passion.  He emphasizes to enjoy the process and journey along the way, and not to rush to conclusions like many do.  In addition, he pushes the idea of a "universal consciousness", that transcends the individual and even society, and provides a perspective to look at things from above.

  Regarding everyday life tips to be more creative, he says it starts from a young age.  Kids now a days are constantly glued to screens, whether it be a t.v, computer, or tablet.  The key is to explore more of nature, to have interactions with unknown things, to explore out of your comfort zone. 

Raul Cuero is the prime example of a person who is "living smart". 

You create your own reality.

Juan Carlos Delgado'

Juan Carlos Delgado's work is multimedia because it incorporates the use of multiple mediums, including the sculpture and the ice caused by the manipulation of temperature.  It also includes the element of time, as you can see from the frost on his sculpture increasingly engulfing it until the whole thing is covered in solid ice. 

First Impression

My first impression of this class was that it is unlike any other class I have had before.  It left me excited to push myself creatively to see what I can achieve.  My name is Paul Mendes and I'm a Senior, Marketing Major at the University of Tampa.  During this class I expect to undergo a change in perspective that will ultimately leave me a more well rounded person.
