What is being creative all about? Is it the following?
Being creative can be hard work – it’s about thinking differently, thinking more, and thinking about other ways of being, doing, using. Creativity might be difficult to define but most of us know it if we see it!
In the UK, the National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education (NACCE) defines creativity as an “imaginative activity fashioned so as to produce outcomes that are both original and of value.”
Others generally decide if something is of value if it is:
- Elegant
- Well-crafted
- Economical
- Ethical
