Based on what I have studied in creative studies class, I do understand of what is meant by creativity. In my opinion and understanding of creativity, creativity means creating something new and original which is different from other creations. Everyday, people do often think and imagine spontaneously and it will turn to reality. Their counter factual thinking is viewed as an example of everyday creative process.
Creativity does belongs in right brain. If a person think using left brain, they are more towards intelligence but when a person starts to think using right brain, they are more towards creativity.A high degree of intelligence appears to be a necessary but not sufficient condition for high creativity. This implies that, in a general sample, there will be a positive correlation between creativity and intelligence, but this correlation will not be found if only a sample of the most highly intelligent people are assessed. The blue color represent Frontal lobe. The green represent Temporal lobe. The yellow represent Parietal lobe while the red represent Occipital lobe. The Frontal lobe play the important role of creativity.
Creativity thinking is something ability of thinking outside of the box. Box represent our mind and space. If we keep on thinking in the space, the ideas can be repeated because space is limited. When a thinking is repeated, it doesn't represent creativity because creativity is something original, new and fresh. So, when a person started to think out side of the box, there a plenty of space where new and fresh ideas can be produce. Creativity is a combination of thinking skill, resources and internal motivation.
Creativity can be usually seen in arts and literature.Most people relate creativity with the fields of art and literature. Originality is considered to be a sufficient condition for creativity, unlike other field where both originality and appropriateness are necessary. Within the different modes of artistic expression, one can postulate a continuum extending from interpretation to innovation. Artistic movement and genres pull practitioners to the interpretation end of the scale, whereas original thinkers strive towards the innovation pole.
In conclusion, creativity is something which should be fresh and original. Creative things can only be produce by creative thinking which is ability of thinking outside of the box. If you want to be a creative person, so start thinking using the right brain because right brain is the creativity thinking while left brain is intelligence thinking. So, this is my understanding about creativity which I learned during my creative studies class and the help of web.
