Creativeness not only comes from the brain but also the heart. Creativeness is also a way of expressing your self through your work even if it’s a paper due at school. Some people believe they aren’t creative because they can’t make pretty posters or the best Flash movies. That is not a reason to not be creative I told my brother whose seventeen and told me “I don’t know what to do I’m not creative you’re the creative one.” My brother got disillusioned because he didn’t know what else to put on his poster since it looked so dull. What makes a creative person is being able to think beyond that and making something extra ordinary. It doesn’t have to be out of the ordinary it can be a poster that you designed and put a great deal of effort into it.
Although some people consider their selves 0% creative, a lot of people are creative in their own way. Creativity can also develop your thinking skills, your mind, and your ability to think outside the box or your limit of work you do. Creativity exists no matter what the person does it just needs to be unleashed into the working environment to have effect on the creator. There has been times were through my own experience I was not able to create anything and I thought I had lost my creativity but in reality was hiding it because I didn’t want to put effort into the project because of lack of interest. Some students may feel this way and they should try to gain interest and incorporate more effort into it.
Being creative is not pasting a bunch of ideas onto a piece of paper. Being creative is not just doing the minimum expected. Being creative is not doing things because you have to. Being creative is not going with the flow and doing something by the same medium everybody is using.
Being creative is not staying in the boundaries of what medium you can use or how you express your ideas. Being creative is working your brain and heart to your full potential. For me being a creative person has lots of meanings dealing with constructing entities. Defining creativeness depends on the person and how they think. This is my meaning what is your meaning or how do you define a creative person?
