<p>Assignment: Does planning interfere with creativity?</p>
<p>While at first it may seem that planning intereferes with creativity, this is incontrovertibly not so. What may apparently seem creative and capricious at first may, in fact, be partially planned. As Felix Mendelssohn and Georgia O'Keefe can both attest, planning certainly does not hinder creativity.</p>
<p>In the piece wirtten for the piano called "Rondo Cappricioso in E Major", by Mendelssohn, the music weaves through a series of fantastic melodies filled with a surplus of brilliant scales and concordant chords. One can most definitely label this piece as creative. But just because it was creative does not necessarily mean it was unplanned. In fact, the opposite is true. In Mendelssohn's biography, he notes that for every piece he composed, some form of planning was put into it. In particular, for the "Rondo Cappricioso in E Major," he had to take care not to let the piece suddenly jump into an odd key, such as f sharp minor. Furthermore, he had to take care that one of the themes was constantly maintained. So even though at superficial appearance this creative work of art seems unplanned, it was actually carefully planned.</p>
<p>Moreover, as seen in Georgia O'Keefe's work of arts, planning most definitely does not interfere with the creativity in painting either. Although many laud her work as exemplary and full of every kind of creativity possible, O'Keefe admits that she, too, planned her work. Oftentimes, at her home in the Southwest, she would sit outside on her porch and decide to pain the beautiful scenery out there. In addition, she would plan her artwork so that there might be a child holding a flower here or a nonexistent tree over there. Clearly, O'Keefe also planned her artwork, but she expertly did not let it interefere with her creativity. Sometimes she was compelled to paint at a moment's notice, but never did she not plan out first what she was going to paint.</p>
<p>After a careful analysis of Felix Mendelssohn and Georgia O'Keefe's work, one can see that indeed, planning in no way intereferes with creativity.</p>
