Creativity is something that one is born with but by thinking out of the box and by constant practice and application, can be achieved to some degree. Perseverance, patience and keeping an open mind are the essential prerequisites, without which it is a fruitless effort!
This is the best explanation. It includes what is creativity and how it is developed?
I want to add some more points. Constsnt reading manuals. magazines, books etc. can enhance the honour of creativity. If you are in touch with elderly experienced peoples, you gain more knowledge. If you work with them or discuss with them, your mind develops. This also helps in creativity. Brain development is more important for creativity to take place. [/quote]
Very true Devyani! Gaining knowledge from more experienced ones too is a crucial part of becoming creative!
Let us first define what is creativity. creativity is nothing but originality. If you think freely and express this in words-prose or poem, drawing, painting or any way, creativity is developed.
