Lesson 1 - Creativity?

"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, is creativity."

- by Charlie Mingus

What is creativity?

The first question that the lecturer ask right before he started anything~

Good one. What is creativity? we always put is together with us when explaining what we study to our friends and family. we will always explains that we are in the creative field, we deal with creativity, But what is creativity really about?

"Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then producing.

The process of creation was historically reserved for deities creating "from nothing" in Creationism and other creation myths. Over time, the term creativity came to include humaninnovation, especially in art and science and led to the emergence of the creative class." - Wikipedia.

"Who has more creativity?" the question ask by lecturer.

Artist? Scientist? Teachers?

The answer is everyone. Everyone have it in our head, it's only whether we put it to use or put it to rest. It's not something that only a hand full of people born with but every single living organism born with. Yes, to me every single living organism born with creativity, why? if i tell you elephant shower with their trunks, what would you say? it's his way of life? it's his instinct? it's born to know how to do it? but have anyone look at it in a different way? did the very first elephant knows how to do it? how did he find out to use it's trunk to suck water and spray water on it's body? it can't control on how it will look like when it came to this world..

But what can do is just like what we should do. try and error, put effort in to anything we do, and we will be able to do it. It maybe difficult from time to time but like what Thomas Edison said, 1% of inspiration and 99% of perspiration we will be able to succeed.
