What is Creativity? G235

Planning:
Creativity can be described as using lots of different idea's and many methods to create a piece of work. It can describe someone who uses many different concepts to achieve a piece of work such as a painting.

4 characteristics :

  • imagination
  • purpose
  • originality
  • of value

'imaginative activity fashioned so as to produce outcomes that are both original and of value '



Imagination with a purpose : I try out lots of different ways to do things and solve problems for example if a piece of work isn't progressing well , i will stop and overcome the problem by trying to look at the work from a different way. Also i can create things in my mind so for example when i am writing an essay i have to plan it in my head and work through the essay before i actually write anything. I try and see in my head how the essay is going to go.



Value: I can make observations about value of others' work, so i can see how other people work differently to achieve their purpose. For example when revising i look at how other people revise and this may also be useful to me to help me remember work better. Also i can review my progress, i stop and think about how i am doing in my work. For example in an essay, every so often i will pause and look at what i have done so far so i can see if i am on the right track and if not then i can change it.



Originality: I am interested in discovery and i like finding out about new things and new ways of doing things as i believe that sometimes you can find a better way of helping you do well in a piece of work so should always be looking for alternative methods to help you. I think that i take risk and that i am prepared to try things out even if they may not work as even though it may not work you may learn something new from it even if it is how not to do something.
