4 factors that spark Creativity

#1. Our environment can either kill or kindle creativity. Creativity is not an individual performance, it grows when we interact with the ideas and expertise of other people, and learn from each other's work across all fields, like business, science, or art.
​
It requires an atmosphere where dialogue, risk-taking, and experimentation are encouraged rather than stifled.
​

#2 Sir Ken Robinson has repeatedly mentioned that creativity begins to grow in an activity in which human intelligence is actively involved, which means that creativity needs a medium to express itself, in the best possible way.

This further implies that creativity is about finding what we do best.

For instance, if we find an artist who creates sculptures creatively, it means that the artist has found his medium - sculpting, and that he’s probably the best in his style or in his handling of the material or in his imagination and so on.

Ideally, our education should accompany us on this path, but it often misses the mark because it focuses too much on certain thinking skills.

As a result, many people fail to discover their true talents. They don’t realize their full potential because they haven’t found out what they’re truly good at. They feel lost and have the feeling that they aren’t in the right place or cannot fully utilize their intellect.

​Here's a link to Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk that hit me hard!​

​
#3 Being creative is also a consequence of actually doing something.
​To call someone creative means that they are actively and consciously working on something - and that can be anything - math, engineering, writing, music, business, whatever. It's not just an internal process; it's imagination applied.
​

#4 Creativity is original, yet it's not. And new ideas are not born in isolation. They draw from inspiration from the achievements of those who have gone before us or are working in different fields.​

💬 A quote and a question:

“People are not creative in general but in doing something concrete. Different people have different creative strengths according to the pattern of their intelligence. For some, it will be music, or mathematics, or working with clay, or software, or images or with people.”
​
— Sir Ken Robinson
