Creativity is a way of living life that embraces originality and makes unique connections between seemingly disparate ideas and its largely based on inspiration. It is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. The article talks about understanding and telling the difference between creativity and creation and also different types of creativity such as historical and psychological creativity. If something that was never thought of or invented before in human history than that’s historically creative. Psychology creative is when you make creative acts that may replicate to previous experiments or inventions. It also goes through the basic structure of the creative process that we as people go through even though there are a lot of controversies to how it starts or what is considered as creativity.
The reason why I chose this article is that all of our acts in creativity, no matter what it is, always starts with what we experience in our daily lives. Something that we see, that brings us inspiration no matter if its psychological creativity or historical creativity. Comics were important to people’s lives and the creativity that each director used was inspired by that specific book. You see the different styles and imagery they use in order to convey there messages. But in order to have someone feel your creativity, you have to make this film give them the experience they felt when reading, something that is difficult to replicate in films, because you can’t put all that information in a two hour film. But there are a few that have managed because they understand the book, they understand the character. If you have no knowledge of your topic how are you supposed to create something that will invoke creativity. You cant just base a movie on something with knowledge from the original version.
“Creative acts are valued positively because they are intended to, and have the potential to, satisfy actual human needs and desires”
hey javier i really like your sources and now im pretty curious to learn more about it.
I liked the way you introduced your topic by giving background about the creativities. I found the topic interesting as I never knew of those two creativities. From reading your work I learned that some filmmakers can’t comprehend the creativity in comics & display it on screen in such a short time span.
“Creativity is a way of living life that embraces originality and makes unique connections between seemingly disparate ideas and its largely based on inspiration.” This quote is saying that creativity is unique and influenced by inspiration. I agree with this quote as creativity is unique and everyone who expresses their creativity are often inspired by someone or something. I chose this quote because it was a very interesting way to describe creativity.
