Friday, June 18, 2010

lectured by Mr.Mustaffa Muzer

Defining Creativity
From my point of view, creativity has the ability to create special and useful things in many forms such as advertising design, interior design and etc. Besides, it also able to generate solution to solve issues or problems in any situations.

I think many people does not realized that they already born with creative mind. The following picture is similar to what has been drawn by majority in childhood.




What is creativity?
"Creativity is defined as the tendency to generate or recognize ideas, alternatives, or possibilities that may be useful in solving problems, communicating with others, and entertaining ourselves and others."
-cited from Human Motivation, 3rd ed., by Robert E. Franken

What kind of attitudes should be owned by a creative person?
◦ Curiosity
◦ Seeing problems as interesting and acceptable
◦ Face Challenge
◦ Constructive Discontent
◦ Optimism
◦ Suspending Judgment
◦ Seeing that led to improvements and solutions to obstacles
◦ Perseverance
◦ Flexible and imaginative

Personal Reflection:
During the lecture, Mr.Mus told us that everyone are born with creative mind but different in perspective and point of views. All of us are born with this ability to be creative. Many great artists and creative people like scientist and inventors, they have left clear footprints in their work. Behind the creative, no one does not know their hardship and hard work for an artwork such as the famous artwork Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Alva Edison who had created the first successful light bulb.


This is the light bulb patent application created by Thomas Edison on 1880.

From the lesson, we learnt about CREATIVITY in class. Creativity can not be obtained and need times to learn from basic because we knows that being creative is not an easy task and there are always a determination to be better.
