This is an important one, because experience is going to be much more useful to you as a creative than simply gaining knowledge. The difference is that experience means you've made connections between yourself and knowledge, whereas knowledge on it's own isn't able to spark empathy in you, you haven't had the real connection with it yet. Empathy is such a key word - if you're able to understand the emotional connection you have to something, you can use your creative skills to portray that emotion, or even evoke it in others. It is the lack of empathy from you as a creator, that can lose the connection with a viewer. Remember to always find and have experiences, not just knowledge. |
