What Is Creativity?
Creativity is very broad and has no proper meaning. different people will find different things creative, this is all down to peoples opinions, it can even be down to age or gender. For example if a film has come out a 15 year old male might have a different opinion to a 15 year old female, also a 15 year old might find the film very good whereas a 20 year old might be bit more mature and might not find it very good.
my interpretation of Creativity
– Thinking outside the box
– Doing something that has never been done before
– Innovation
– Unique idea
– Extraordinary
some people define Creativity as:
1) “Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others.” – Robert E. Franken
2) “Creativity is any act, idea, or product that changes an existing domain, or that transforms an existing domain into a new one… What counts is whether the novelty he or she produces is accepted for inclusion in the domain.” – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.
3) “Creativity is generating new ideas and concepts, or making connections between ideas where none previously existed.” – Mitchell Rigie and Keith Harmeyer.
4) “Creativity is the process of bringing something new into being. Creativity requires passion and commitment. It brings to our awareness what was previously hidden and points to new life. The experience is one of heightened consciousness: ecstasy.” – Rollo May,

Is creativity Natural, learnt or taught?
I believe that creativity is natural although it cant be learn’t, this is because everyone is different, some people are naturally more creative then others and can spark ideas out quickly whereas others may need time to think of ideas. some people may need a trigger for there creative side to come out. For example someone would say a original idea then the other person would spark of the original idea and come up with something different. Creativity can also be learn’t this is done by seeing different things everyday which can almost build a little story, talking to different people everyday, watching different TV show or movies. They learn to be creative and think or ideas.
