"Feeling sad makes us more creative"

This is the title f the article. If you want to check it out the link is below.

The article talks about several things but one is a experiment that was held in which participants were asked to give a speech. Some received good feedback and others received bad feedback. They were given some art supplies and asked to make a collage. They were also asked what kind of mood they were in. The collages were looked at by professional artists and those that said they were sad and had been given negative feedback about their speech had more creative collages.

Kinda interesting stuff. Not sure I fully support the concept but thought it was interesting.
