Everyone have their own creative mind.

“Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different”
Sometimes, if we see an object, we will compare that object with some interesting and create a unique way of thinking and combine them in different ways for new purposes. The way we think about it will change some one’s life or some ones heart.
Creativity is the ability to generate useful ideas and solutions to everyday problems and challenges.

Creativity involves the translation of our unique vision into an external reality that is really new and useful. We must keep in mind that creativity takes place inside our own personal, social, and cultural boundaries.

Creativity by identifying with specific sets of values, meanings, beliefs and symbols, the more our creativity will be focused.

In the creative process there are always two different levels of dynamics with which one can create:
• The system which may be a particular medium or a particular process. The creative person takes it to a creative end.

• The second dimension:  The conceptual Idea – The creative person depicts, changes, innovates, and expresses somehow the idea of that content.

Aspects of creativity:

  • The creative process, receiving the most attention, focuses on the mechanisms and phases involved as one in a creative act.
  • A second aspect of creativity is the creative person. Creative people are central.
  • The environmental atmosphere and influence are concerns of a third aspect, the creative situation.
  • Lastly, the criteria or characteristics of creative products have been sought. This area is of particular importance because it is the basis of any performance assessment of real world creativity and may provide a window on the other aspects of creativity.

10.  Categories of creativity:

1.  Expressive ~ Productive
2.  Expressive ~  Inventive
3.  Expressive ~ Innovative
4.  Invention ~ Discovery
5.  Theory ~ Invention ~ Discovery
6.  Accommodation ~  Assimilation
7.  Personal ~ Public
