Everyday I love to learn something new about people and the world around me. I am currently in the process of finishing my degree and listened to an insightful lecture yesterday. As I work in and am passionate about the creative industries, this one hit home for me. It asked what makes a creative individual. From the points below I was surprised to learn that we all have the capacity to be creative and that creativity isn’t just something that some people are born with.
So did you know…
- Creativity comes from several sources, not just the genius of one person
- Creativity often comes from the environment around you, rather than people ‘thinking’ more creatively
- Creativity isn’t just a light bulb revelation moment, but years of hard work
And I can see how relevant this is based on all the creative types I admire (like my favourite bloggers Tuula and Sincerely Jules)
So are you a creative person? Because we all have the capacity to be one. Creative types are:
- A combination of smart and naive: bounce around with different ideas, even if they are off field
- Playful and disciplined
- Introvert and extrovert: depending on the situation
- Alternate between fantasy and reality
- Passionate yet objective: you can stick to an idea but ditch it if it’s not working
