Washington-based painter Tyree Callahan modified a 1937 Underwood Standard typewriter, replacing the letters and keys with color pads and hued labels to create a functional “painting” device called the Chromatic Typewriter. Callahan submitted the beautiful typewriter as part of the 2012 West Prize competition, an annual art prize that is determined by popular vote. I do not know how practical painting an image with a color typewriter is, but if Keira Rathbone can do it, so can I. I believe in creativity as this color typewriter inspires me that not all creativity must be of the same thing or of the same formula.
There’s no fixed definition of creativity of a certain field. Therefore, I feel that we don’t have to just rely on pencils or color pencils to paint a picture. In other words, we have to think out of the box when we start thinking of creativity.
Aside from all that, we must neither fear of failures nor laughter of people who feels that our creation is inferior or of no use. Because we will never know that someday this idea of ours will work out as a piece of art like this typewriter. Who would have thought that a machine which initially is only meant for typing words could be change to be made for coloring. A brilliant idea of creativity will not always be the same for others. I would like to think that if our ideas are not different from others, then there’s not much creativity in it.
These colorful color really can make our life more colorful and happier.
