Creativity, what is it?

My own definition of creativity is when it comes from someone who is ingenious, and who can think outside the box.  An example of creativity is someone who can take a simple object, and re-purpose it using either their imagination, or adds things to it to make something that was not its intended purpose. It could range from an artist sitting in front of a blank canvas, to a small child playing with a big box.  Creativity can go a long way, as we saw in class that the three objects we had in front of us were made into several different tools to help us survive on our island.  I feel that everyone is creative, but some just don’t chose to explore it. Everyone can be creative in their own way, and some may use it differently. Some people can use their creativity for music, art, speeches, crafts, lessons, or to solve problems. I think that creativity can be developed over time and practice can make you more creative. In music, composers use creativity to rhyme words or make the notes flow together. There are many art portraits that can tell a story, or if you and a friend look at it, you can get two different ideas from it. Public speakers can use interesting facts or words in their speeches to make it more appealing for the listeners. All of the decorations you see in stores or at craft shows are made by someone who came up with the idea using their creativity. I feel that in lessons, the more creative way it is taught, the better understanding you are going to get from it. You are learning, but also are enjoying the process. Sometimes there could be different outcomes to a situation, and some ideas might be a better way than others on how to handle them.
