Essays on Creativity

Words have the power to shape the world and to change one's thoughts and perceptions. The words we utter or write can empower anyone. This belief sprung from what I learned through the significant events I experienced as a young teenager and a high school student and it was what made me desire to inspire others through writing. A few years back, my young 13-year-old self would only see a hazy path ahead of her. But now as a 17-year-old woman, I could understand who I really am and direct ...

Human creativity is something within society, worldwide that continues to be suppressed as time progresses. If something needs to be done efficiently, we turn to our computers, mobile devices, or tablets to do the hard work and thinking for us. This phenomenon can be tied to simple laziness, or to the fact that society has progressed to the point where we no longer need our own brains to solve a problem or create something “original. ” This can also tie back into the idea of human intellect, ...

How often do you think about the process of making something you use daily? Personally, it never crosses my mind, and I’m sure it’s the same way for most people going about their day-to-day lives. The manufacturing of down pillows is a fairly difficult and long process. Down pillows are made from cotton, geese and duck feathers, and cloth or leather. These kinds of pillows are commonly used in hotel rooms and homes across the world. Cotton, today, is picked by harvesting machines and then ...

Art and creativity enhance the life of an individual. Art can be found all around us whether, in the paintings on canvas or the various kinds of wall hanging designs, art with its creative painting ideas surrounds us in our modern house interior itself. Art and its creativity have existed in our life since the time we were born. It is an essential part of our culture which eventually shapes our ideas, represents our deeper emotions, and makes us more self-aware. People who admire art and ...

Remix culture has long been assimilated into contemporary art and design to enhance growth and create new aesthetics using existing materials. Remix artists often explore unlimited possibilities to give critiques and turn the existing piece into a parody of itself. “Arne Cubista”, made on 9 September 2007 by Italian designer Martino Gamper, is a part of his project 100 Chairs in 100 Days which challenges traditional clichés and formalist values of Modernism. Old pieces of Arne Jacobsen’s ...

Picasso once said this; all children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up. i believe this passionately that we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it. or rather, we get educated out of it. so why is this? I think everyone is interested in education, because school taught us that its education that's meant to take us into the future, but that we can't actually grasp. And it's a problem because i saw a modern phone, and looked at a phone from 150 years ago ...

Creativity is defined as the act of making something happen that represents a person’s own ideas through, feeling and thoughts. Moreover, the definitions given in the context of early years have been established based on children analysing situations and coming up with new ideas or actions and being able to think outside the box (White 2008). For example, a child who is trying to solve a puzzle which they have never seen before would have to think outside the box to try and figure out how to ...

Jamie James argues that, Pop Art is essentially ‘high art mimicking low art,’ it takes aspects of popular culture and elevates them to what would conventionally be referred to as Fine Art. The Pop Art movement first emerged in the years following the end of World War 2, first in Britain, and then reaching its full potential in the USA. Britain was still suffering from the aftermath of the war while the American economy had started to flourish. This shift in the two societies created a distinct ...

Persons who dedicate themselves in presenting or representing aesthetically appealing art forms, either visual (like: painting, sculpture, photography, etc.) or performing (like: dance, music, theatre, etc.), are termed as ‘Artists’. Artistic production is often creative in nature, when it entails a unique/ unconventional way of presentation. Investigators have always wondered about the psychological characteristics of artists, especially those that make them different from non-artists. ...

Humans evolve and transform with time, the evolution can be in the form of physical as well as mental one. Physical evolution is most prominent and one can see a person aging with time and change of appearances that are occurring. But mental evolution cannot be perceived with our eyes and only the person facing evolution can understand what changes he is facing in his mind and what affects it has on his life. Growing has its own perks and privileges while at the same time there are some ...

The sole purpose of graphic design is the communication of a message and idea through art and graphics. Its beginnings can be traced back from the first cave paintings in Lascaux, France, to the hieroglyphs of the Egyptian culture, and eventually to the introduction of print and digital mediums. For an ancient practice that has turned into a massive industry, it is troubling to see that according to a poll question that was conducted in 2012, about 93% of graphic designers agreed to the ...

  The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Specifically, music is a unique art form. It is a lyrical and auditory representation of story.

Edward de Bono, also known as the father of Lateral thinking, once said that “There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” Leadership is comprised of many traits such as honesty, integrity, motivation, etc. Great leadership has not just all of these factors, but combines them with the skills of innovation and creativity. What a leader does when something does ...

I have always been interested in digitals, technologies, creativity, and everything that’s about science, yesterday our lecturer gave us a task to search about one of these three things “digital technology, or creativity or entrepreneurship” and that made me sure question my information and rethink do I really know about entrepreneurship that much? I know digital technology and creativity very well, so I to start off I’m going to talk about creativity and innovation because it does play a huge ...

Marijuana has for some time been beyond belief associated with creativity and art. When an artist gets high on smoking pot, their imagination and workmanship also operates to a higher level. Fantastic, isn’t it? How this specific plant can surprisingly chip in to the ability of an artist to create amazing art. There is no scientific explanation to it but there are a lot of studies and testimonies that experiments to this exceptional experience. With the growing cannabis legalization, it ...
