What is Creativity?
My favorite definition of creativity comes from Sir. Ken Robinson:
Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. There are two other concepts to keep in mind: imagination and innovation. Imagination is the root of creativity. ... Innovation is putting new ideas into practice
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. - Picasso
