Week 1, lntroduction; What is Creativity?

'Creativity'. There a lot of definition for ceativity depends on the person. Every each person have their own understanding of creativity. Creativity is something that a person did as it is as originally from his/ her ideas. Well, based on wikipedia. "Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) which has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways." Creativity also can be understand by the new generations of ideas or a new way of doing things. In other word, originality.

"Education kills creativity" ? Is this true? Well, I think it is true though. Education do kill our creativity. It somehow make us this so stereotypically. 

"I define creativity as the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. Innovation is the production or implementation of an idea. If you have ideas, but don't act on them, you are imaginative but not creative." - Linda Naiman.


"Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being...creativity requires passion and commitment. Out of the creative act is born symbols and myths. It brings to our awareness what was previously hidden and points to new life. The experience is one of heightened consciousness-ecstasy."
- Rollo May

Well, like i said, there are a lot of understanding and concept due to what is creativity. You could just ask every single human being in this beloved planet of ours asking them what is creativity and trust me, you will get many different answers from them. Including me and yourself. Oh and yea, as for me, creativity is how you think in your own ways. How you create things, think, do things, in your own ways! Its not just creating new stuffs makes you creative. It is also how you do things. So yeah, that's about it for creativity. See you next time in my next post! :)
