CREATIVITY

Creativity is more than just brainstorming new ideas. Part of the creative process is

deciding which ideas work best for the particular situation or problem.

Creativity means coming up with new ideas that work.

Creativity is a mindset or habit of mind for looking at situations in new ways

and creating new ideas.

Creativity is thinking outside the box or divergent thinking.Creativity is the act of making connections between seemingly unrelated ideas

to make something new and appropriate.

Creativity means finding new ways to solve problems and interact with the world.Creativity is a learning cycle, an evolving thinking process, that moves

from inspiration to exploration, creation and evaluation.Creativity is the ability to see whats not there and create something new.
