Talking about creativity..

Here comes WEEK 2

from this week 2 lecture, they showed us this video by an internationally recognized leader in the development of innovation and human resources, a Professor in Arts Education at the University of Warwick and gained his PhD from the University of London for research into drama and theatre in education, Sir Ken Robinson..To be frank, i just knew the guy..

but his speech was tremendously entertaining. It made me think rather than wasting my papers scribbling on them. I support his stand that being wrong or by doing mistakes is another step of being original. Not that he meant by purposely being wrong, but to learn from it. Original ideas do come by mistakes. What I'm thinking of is, its not that we cant do it in a right way, but we see things in a different way, and we are somehow force to follow the structure, the pattern that have been made and which block our creative ways of thinking. "Its actually we don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it, or rather we get educated out of it" , from what Sir Ken's said.

I believe that its our educating system which needs to be change and that its us, the new generations in this 21st era should start making this changes. We can see this potential coming from Sir Ken. I'v been keeping this thoughts since before and somehow excited to be part of the change. I would like to be part of the board of directors in education department of art one day and apply some changes in school's syllabus..art class should be taken seriously and to provide complete tools and equipment for arts..that's a start *wink!*

Here i present you, Sir Ken Robinson..

Defining creativity..hmm??

Hello WEEK 1

"Creativity is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them from thought into reality. The process involves original thinking and then producing.

The process of creation was historically reserved for deities creating "from nothing" in Creationism and other creation myths. Over time, the term creativity came to include human innovation, especially in art and science and led to the emergence of the creative class." - wikipedia

to get a basic understanding of creativity i took the definition from wiki. From what it said, it is the ability to generate innovative ideas and manifest them.but then what is innovation..what's the difference between creative and innovative?

From what i think,my perspective..creativity is the process of generating something new that has value. Example, TABLE..The ability to take existing object(wood) and combine them into different ways for new purposes, by adding value to those pieces of wood which is then named 'table'.

Innovation is to bring new ideas and making changes to the existing objects. Example, CARPET..from what we know is just a floor covering.but check this out..









This is called 'land peel'..a furniture developed by japanese industrial design student shin yamashita from the kyoto institute of technology.

This floor mat makes it ideal for all leisurely activities such as watching television, studying, lying down, or reading a book..how innovative is that eh;)
