I believe that creativity is within all of us. It is what we do with it that brings about something productive. Creativity is not restricted to the “Arts”. Anyone who solves problems outside the normal solutions is using the creative process. No matter what we have in the world is a direct result to the creative process at work. Think about where we would be without the minds of forward thinkers whether it be with the visual arts to the highest of technology.

As an art teacher I believe teaching techniques and presenting a problem and letting the student figure out how to get to the end solution is encouraging the creative process. When asked how to do something I usually respond with I could tell you but then it is my solution and not yours. But by asking them what they want to accomplish and help them with the technique for the desired end result is help them explore their own creativity.

What a discourse! To me, We are creative because e were created in the Image of GOD (the Creator) and in His likeness. We are only behaving like God in being creative.

Great post. I’ve found that creativity is tapping into that part of you where there are no boundaries and restrictions. You get to do whatever speaks to you without judgments and preconceptions. It’s creating something where there was once nothing or just a glimmer of an idea.

Everyone has creativity inside them. It takes different forms but we all have the ability to make something happen that didn’t exist before. It is only limited by our own minds and actions.

Take care,

Guy

Some of the most creative people I have ever met are not artists/designers.

I will say this, there isn’t much middle ground. Yoda said it best, “Do or do not, there is not try.”

I think that creativity boils down to problem solving. There’s a problem, find a way around it. It engages a thought process which may or may not be obvious but it requires a *thought process*. That’s the point to creativity.

What a fun… ’cause to get my job, i was asked about what is creativity for me, in the interview. I’m a publisher, so, we deal with creation the whole time.

So, in the interview i answered that I believe creativity is something that you born to, but, also, it something that can be rose. As you said, everyone can be creative, but there are some people that are more up to.
So, i think we can increase it by increasing our repertory, ’cause to create something, is necessary to know about what has been created.
So, reading, researching, watching good and bad movies, sitcoms, and any kind of art and entertainment.
only depends on you.

Creativity comes in many forms and is not limited to the the visual part of software or website development.. I’m a junior developer and I really admire the creativity of my seniors because of their ability to design a very nice architecture that will make our system scalable.. Without creativity, creating an architecture with perfectly fitting modules is impossible

I agree that any one can be creative, even if they don’t do art; being creative is innate to anyone who solves problems and comes up with solutions. People who are labeled “creative” perhaps practice this more frequently than others.

Unfortunately, many un-artistic people are not educated as to what “creativity” is – to them it is a term applied only to visual artists and synonymous with “art”, so they deduce that if they don’t do art they aren’t creative. So I think the majority of the population are just merely uninformed.

I work with many clients who don’t understand the value of the creative design process – they don’t want to pay for the effort and time that will lead to a creative sucecessful solution. They think anyone who can “make pretty pictures” can give them some “creativity” in the blink of an eye, which ultimately de-values the design community. Their logic is “why pay somebody more when I have a neice who can use photoshop elements?”

Like somebody already pointed out, it is a skill and talent to be able to funnel apply your creativity into a productive solution for others on a regular basis.

And I definitely think cooks are creative!

I too think anyone can be creative. Some people are better at it than others. In terms of design with websites and graphics I think it is great for both designers and other interested parties to collaborate to come up with the best end product.

I belive that creativety is an survivel mecanism. We need to be creative to survive and puch forward no matter what we do in life. I don think that creativity is conected to a specific job, title or person. To be crative is to be alive :-D.
