All creativity begins with a plan or an idea.
You must have an aim or a goal before you become creative. Talent tends to remain dormant until you build a fire under your creative potential with the motivations arising out of a big goal - or hope. Planning and developing a goal broadens the visual experience and directs you into those areas that are useful to meet that goal. In this you may learn useful skills in seeing, idea development and brain furnishing. Until you plan, your creative effort will be second best.
