Creativity has one big myth: Only some people are born with creativity. But the fact is: everyone is born with creativity. Someone has already given her opinion on this creativity world, so I’m going to let her show you about creativity.
Anyway, before we go into that, let’s think of why creativity IS important. I found this page where two people shared their answers to ‘Why is Creativity Important?’
SarahC: Creativity is important because it brings out new and exciting ideas and activities that are unique to one person. Everyone is creative in some way it just takes finding what interests you and have fun.
heathertharp: Creativity is one of the most important things in the world because if each person did not have creativity then you would see everything the same. Each person has there own type of creativity and that is why there are unique art, movies, clothing, hair styles, etc. Be creative
So, let’s get back to that ‘someone’ I menteioned above. In her ‘lens’ (it’s a Squidoo page), she shares with you:
- The definition of creativity
- Types of creativity
- Characteristics of highly creative individuals
- What hinders creative development
- How can you foster creativity?
- Forms of creative inspiration

Creativity is the ability to make something original, to imagine things that don’t exist, and to come up with new ideas. Creativity is the ability to look at everyday items and events in new ways. Creativity can make common things special and special things more common!
