The ability to unite multiple cultures and languages gives bilingual individuals an edge to express more creativity.

Creativity and Bilingualism

Elements

• Growing up in a bilingual home
• Understanding certain slang from a specific language 
• Combining both languages to create a more diverse vocabulary
• Understanding ideas differently from both perspectives
• Differentiating vocabulary and grammar 

Individuals who are bilingual or multilingual can tap into multiple resources from the respective cultures of the language they may know.  Thus creating diverse or unique images containing a plethora of ideas from the knowledge of the language they speak.

Creativity

A.  Openness to Experience Creativity:  open mindedness may be a prerequisite (in a sense of necessary but insufficient condition) for creativity 

B.  Bilingualism and Creativity:  linguistic influence can spark early patterns of creative skill

C.  Living Abroad and Creativity:  Foreign experiences increase both cognitive flexibility and depth and integrativeness of thought, the ability to make deep connections between disparate forms

About me

Hello everyone, my name is Eddy and I am a senior at California State University Fullerton.  I am interested in both animation and illustration. I have no experience with digital art but I am determined to learn every aspect of it this Fall 2018 semester.  Here are some artworks I created from high school up until present day.
