WEEK 1 - DAY 3 - CREATIVE PROCESS

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.
