In the past centuries, we humans have evolved various forms of artistic expression to express ourselves in art, music, literature and a number of other areas. We’ve had dexterous individuals who have made significant contributions in shaping our creative areas from time to time. But what exactly is creativity, then?
We’ll see a lot of people trying to answer that question when we look back on our history. According to the great Albert Einstein, “creativity is sewing what others see but thinking what no one else thinks.” It’s “making with heart and building with mind,” according to Criss Jami. Well, the quotes can give us an introduction to our quest towards defining creativity. The very nature of creativity is to observe and try to see the world around us, according to the quote from Albert Einstein. He’s motivating people to get inspiration in their everyday lives, and make something creative out of what they think. While Criss Jami’s advice is to be creative from the heart, which means that ideas of creation are not spontaneously generated, they must go through an orderly process.
The question of whether creativeness is good or evil is another important issue. We’ve seen that the arts are often condemned for their excessive level of good and evil. However, there should be no comparison if creativity is absolute. In the right critic’s mind, creativity can’t be criticised on the basis of good or bad; instead, it can be transformed into something new. We’ve seen the cave people use charcoal on walls to draw pictures of bulls and gods. We’ve got a huge creative software installed on our computers, which is helping us make art. Creativity is equally widespread in both cases; it is not possible to say that cavemen are less creative than we are, simply by comparing their drawings to our hitech art.
Well, if you are reading it till now, I would genuinely praise you for bearing my opinion on this field of creativity, because my opinion is just like ‘a drop in the ocean’. The creativity of an individual is a gift given by God. It has no boundaries; instead, it just manifests itself in a person’s everyday life. There is no stop to creativity.
Creativity, a thing that every sector needs but very little or none of it, is urgently needed across today’s world with growing competition. It’s not hard to be creative; it’s just that we need to innovate on an existing canvas and not worry about criticism of others.
