Creativity from without is an example of an artist who searches/finds inspiration not deep within his soul. Artists tend to seek inspiration from deep within, drawing from past experiences, ideas, and various emotions/moods. This requires an artist to use the materials they have on hand, like raw materials, scraps, and nature. They inspiration once found within, is now one found in the moment and expressed instantly.
For many artists this is abstract and appears meaningless. An artist prides itself on his or her creation from within. Their creations are symbols for the moods they possess and the emotions they want to share with the world. Andrew Goldsworthy, an artist famous for using his “in the moment” materials, draws upon nature and it’s hidden meanings for inspiration from without. Goldsworthy is not able to alter his materials, for they are premade and unchangeable. Goldsworthy rather uses his materials and designs nature filled masterpieces inspired by the moment in which he found his materials. I believe artists like him pride themselves on their ability to design on the clock, in the moment, and receive no pressure from the outside world. Pressure doesn’t exist because no one has an expectation for what his design may be they only know his materials
