What is Creativity?

Creativity is the bringing into being of something which did not exist before, either as a product, a process or a thought.

You would be demonstrating creativity if you:

· Invent something which has never existed before

· Invent something which exists elsewhere but you are not aware of

· Invent a new process for doing something

· Reapply an existing process or product into a new or different market

· Develop a new way of looking at something (bringing a new idea into existence)

· Change the way someone else looks at something

In fact, we are all creative every day because we are constantly changing the ideas which we hold about the world about us. Creativity does not have to be about developing something new to the world, it is more to do with developing something new to ourselves. When we change ourselves, the world changes with us, both in the way that the world is affected by our changed actions and in the changed way that we experience the world.

Creative thinking is the process which we use when we come up with a new idea. It is the merging of ideas which have not been merged before. Brainstorming is one form of creative thinking: it works by merging someone else's ideas with your own to create a new one. You are using the ideas of others as a stimulus for your own.

Creative studies to me is like a machine giving us power or ability to think about stuff and turn them into reality. There is no limit in creation, well that's my opinion. If we look back through the ages we can clearly see that it never stops. each generation there is something new created. And thats Creative Studies that gives us power to do so. Creative Studies can make our dreams come true in some ways. There are things we think of but can never come true, but that's creativity and the ability that can make it come true. After all its Creative Studies that teaches us all about it. Tjese are all whati learned in class the first week. it was interesting.
