Defining Creativity

Creativity is to think out of the box. Its to create something really new or develop an idea that already exist into a better one. Creativity is also to develop an idea or imagination into a reality and producing it. In today's global world, people expects something really creative, unique and different then the others. If we come up with the same idea as others people tend to get bored and the idea or product can be a failure.



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.(Human Motivation, 3rd ed., by Robert E. Franken)




Creativity is the ability to think differently and design new inventions, produce art work, solve problems in new methods. Other than that also develop an idea based on an original, novel, or alternative approach. (Creative Studies Lecture Notes)

METHODS OF CREATIVE THINKING

According to WIKIPEDIA a mind map is a diagram used to represent words,ideas , tasks, or other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea. Mind maps are used to generate,visualize,structure ,classify and ideas, and as an aid to studying and organizing information,solving problems,making decisions,and writing.

Mind map is the first best way to create a artwork. It will help us to get a rough idea and throw out the ideas from our mind. we can use mind map to explore, develop our idea and correct specific problems before we proceed our work.

Mind maps divided into two.

1) Logical Mind Map- directly connected to stereotypes. Which means the word every word and images is related to the central subject.

2) Associated Mind Maps - able to generate random words, images and links between words that have no connection,

Introduction to Creative Studies

What is being creative? "Being creative is seeing the same thing as everybody else but thinking of something different. As a creative multimedia student we must learn to think n implement something different from other. As a designer we cannot produce our work same and just like others. we should think out of the box and come up with something really new and unique. In this creative studies class, we learn to define and identify the real meaning of being creative and the meaning of creativity and also problem solving methods. Its a universal fact that being creative is hard and needs a lot of thinking. but once we keep on training and think differently it will be easy and we will be able to define the real meaning of being creative.

"creativity is an attitude, combine with effort; 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration- Thomas Edison
