creativity
So I wasn't aware of the fact that we were supposed to blog every week. I mean, I know we're supposed to do it, I just.. wasn't sure if it already started or whatever and apparently it has!
c r e a t i v i t y
If you google this word you would find definitions such as:
The phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, solution, artwork, literary work, joke, etc.) that 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 is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing.
I guess they're pretty accurate but obviously there isn't just one definition for creativity. Creativity can mean a lot of things in a lot of ways. I think everybody is creative, just not in similar ways. Everybody has different interests and things that they're good at and stuff which influences the way in which they're creative... (Hopefully, that made sense...)
An easy example would be myself. I'm a graphic design student and I appreciate the
design of a lot of different things everyday. And from that, I would probably intergrate some of the different designs (not exactly, of course, maybe just use similar techniques) that I'm inspired by into something that I create myself (wow I'm so horrible at expressing myself in words). I mean... that's called creativity right? Well, I don't know. You be the judge.
But yeah basically, I think creativity is a way of expressing yourself, whether it's through music, painting, a speech, writing, the way you dress.
