Creativity is about coming up with a concept that new and original. It's about thinking outside the box, taking chances, experimenting; taking ideas that already exisit and inspire you and come up with a new concept that is your own. Sir Ken Robinson suggested that we are more creative as children as we are not scared of being wrong he states that 'Kids will take a chance, if they don't know they'll have a go' He then goes on to say that being creativing has no right or wrong, but if your not prepared to be wrong then you'll never come up with anything original.
Sir Ken Robinson also states that we loose the capacity to be creative because of the way the education system works. 'We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it'. I agree with Sir Ken Robinsons views . As we grow up we are scrutized for our mistakes, in education and at work, this has long term effects on us as we are too scared to be wrong we stick strictly to guidlines and rules which results in everyone creating the same thing.
To be more creative we need to go astray from 'the norm' and stimulate our brain to create ideas. To aid this process we need lots of sleep, time to daydream and nerveracking situations. However this does not mean we will suddenly become more creative people by doing this, it just aids our creative thinking.
