WEEK 1 – DAY 3 – CREATIVE PROCESS
CREATIVE PROCESS: Creativity can be a difficult thing to define. There is no denying it. Part
of the reason is that it is easier to learn not to be creative than
it is to learn how to be creative. Creativity like anything else is
learned – it is NOT a case of either “you have it or you don’t”. You can have
it, if you want it.
Part of the
challenge is that how people are creative is individual. Everyone is creative
in different ways, and use different processes for developing and exploring and
making their ideas happen. The following presentations will explain the key
characteristics of creativity that will be developed as you move from grade 9
through grade 12, and how you can demonstrate your creative process.
In the
following video produced by the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD),
students have investigated what creativity is capable of, and what it can do.
As you watch the video, don’t just focus on the end product, but think about
the steps, the stages, the process of developing what we see in this video. The
creative process is a strategy that someone uses for moving from a problem to
an idea to a solution.
