Creativity is vital to achievement in many fields, from science, to business and the arts. This course will explore creativity both as a general process of engagement with the world around us and as an introduction to creative cultural expression in the Arts. It will engage students in thinking about creativity as an intrinsic part of their educational, personal and professional lives, as it engages them in creative practice and reflection upon creative process. As part of the class, students collaborated and created a zine.

Visiting the Garden
Winter is gone
The sun is out
I open right up
I come right out.
My bright red complexion
My powerful aroma
Creatures come to see me,
Without a doubt.
They know my smell
They know my name
They know what I am
Not ever a doubt.
Every year I am the same,
But they always change.
Till next year my friends
Please stay the same.
I feel you looking
I never move, always still
Frozen like a rock.
I am as bright as a flame
And catch the shining sun.
You’re drawn to me
Like a …

I’ll be so direct by saying, if I may, that here is simply, absolutely, the best place to be. Here,
where the rolling hill plunges towards the ocean. Here, where the sight of the Bavarian blue sky
makes my insides feel endless. Here, where, watching as I so often do, as the white cotton
shape-shifts before my eyes, summer-time in suspense. The sun’s rays suspend from the sky,
dangling like the hands of time. They caress me. A pocket watch in the sky, the sky's the best
accessory. Here, where I am more popular than I could ever have …
A Short Stay By Rachel Milne, Rachel Milne
A Short Stay By Rachel Milne, Rachel Milne
ART/RSP 299: Gathering in the Garden: Poetry and Studio Art
A Short Stay
Gracefully, she leaps over the fence.
Slowly, she walks through the yard,
Plucking low-hanging leaves for breakfast.
She lingers, as she eats
And suddenly –
Nails skittering on wood, a rush of air through the grass,
Her visit is cut short
She sends herself back into the woods
Just as the dog reaches the top of the hill
Their nest may be elsewhere,
But the pair frequently visit this place.
His little, crimson body darts over the yard,
Her subtle, tawny feathers hide away in a tree.
A constant in the garden,
They are a pleasant sight …

Floral Beauty
An appreciation for chrysanthemum
Took bloom within her soul during
Her early years of life and began
To flourish as time went on
Passing slowly, the years whisked
By and things would grow all around
Her as her hair drifted down past
Her slim shoulders – long brown
“I wish to grow my roots, soon,
In one place where I can stay
Becoming stronger within myself
Until it is time for me to wither away
I’ll make this body a lovely space
For my spirit of flora to grow and
Thrive, with windows all around to
Let sunshine …
