Week 1 - Creativity


For this week, assingment is about creativity. Through the internet, this is what I found:

-Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby something new is created 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.
(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity)

-"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, The Courage to Create
(Source: http://www.creativityatwork.com/articlesContent/whatis.htm)


To me, creativity is something that is:
- Thinking out of the box
- The ability or power to create creative art works and with a lot of imaginations.
- Ability to create something out of the box.
- Crazy thinking but is useful in the end.

That's all as  I can't think of any!
