Blog 4: Maker Manifesto
I will search for things that inspire me, and then I will
create them. I will not let the hustle and bustle of everyday life keep me from
trying to create these things that inspire me. I will remain conscious of the
fact that my creation may not be perfect. In the face of failure, I will
salvage the project for whatever purpose it may be salvaged for. I will take my
time, not rushing through a project in order to finish it, but working slowly
and surely in order to produce the best results. I will be patient with myself,
knowing that my work will improve with practice, and nobody is a professional
overnight. I will see the beauty in all things I create, even if it was not
what I planned to create at all. I will create not for me, but for others. I
will grow through my creations as I improve and explore my abilities. I will
not look back in regret, but rather charge ahead onto the next inspiration,
knowing that I will improve as time goes by.
This is a link to a brilliant maker manifesto. Mark Hatch
produces a whole new way in which to drive a creative revolution in the current
age of technology. Not exactly sure myself what a maker manifesto should look
like, I found this website. After reading the article and watching part of the
video, it really helped me to form my own ideas about what I wanted my maker
manifesto to look like. While Mark’s is extremely long and well thought-out, it
gave me some basic ideas I used to form the rest of my manifesto off of. The
way he talks about making and creativity is awe-inspiring, and really drove me
to think deeply about the prompt. Now it’s your turn: what is your maker
manifesto?
