What is Creativity?

Can you define it?.. harder than you think right?
I found it difficult too. Its not as easy as you think, when we were asked to define it, we struggled and started to second guess ourselves. We then worked in groups and wrote down key words we think relate to "creativity" as a group we came up with these words

• unique
• imaginative
• affected by things around you e.g society
• different
• affected by personality
• environment - nurture
• the way in which you think
• just art and graphics?
• doesn't have to be original
• the process
• the end product
• personality
• express yourself
• the way YOU want
• style

We then were asked to come up with our own definition of creativity using the key words we came up with before.
My definition:
Creativity is the process in which you go through to make a personal opinion that can be inspired by society or the environment to come up with your final product.

I think that I am quite creative although my ideas and the process I go through may take a lot of time. I like being creative because to me being creative is being different and taking something and making it better. Creativity can be expressed and influenced by different types of material e.g. film, literature, fashion etc..
I think media has a massive influence on creativity it allows you to express yourself and it shows others how you think and your thought process throughout. Media is a variety of mediums ranging from photography to film or social networking to script writing. It allows you to have your own style and twist on things and for me it is one of the best subjects to do because media is everywhere and is becoming more important and has a huge amount of impact in peoples perception and influences in their everyday lives.
