What is creativity? Creativity is what makes every human different. Creativity is the thing that allows us to enter a different universe and become what we want. Without creativity in the world be a bland, black and white animatronic world with no life and no soul. With no creativity we may have never survived as long as we have. When you think about it, the most creative minds in the world have invented incredible things, some things we may never be able to live without. Things like air bags, traffic lights, safety harnesses etcetera, etcetera. Now creativity doesn’t only apply to major inventions, they can apply to musicians or writers or even teachers.
Now the actual definition of creativity is the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work, or in Layman's terms the ability to create something in an artistic way. This can apply to a multitude of different art styles like writing or composing music or even creating a costume can be considered creative. Creativity doesn’t always have to be joyful either. If wanted it could be very dark or disturbing or even straight up terrifying .So what some people may see as evil, blasphemous, or disturbing may be creative. For example the band Slipknot has always been criticised for their heavy music, use of creepy costumes and sometimes disturbing music videos. While some may believe these criticisms, I and many others find it creative. The most obvious sense of creativity is found in the masks they wear, which are personally designed and forged by the wearer. They dig into the dark depths of themselves and create the most disturbing and creepy masks. Whether it be a mask with pins plunged through the face or a creepy emotionless clown, they will always have something unique to them. Also many criticisms are created a writer’s work. Writers such as Edgar Allan Poe, who is sometimes said to be a depressed genius with very dark content. That may be true but you cannot deny the fact that he is one of the most talented and creative minds in the history of poetry and short story. With works such as The Masque of the Red Death or The Raven he is a master of the suspense and horror genre.
Now creativity isn’t all just a quick doodle on a napkin in a bar or a bunch of paint splattered on a canvas (although some may try to convince you otherwise). If you’re being creative your work has to have lots of.. well work put into it. You have to dedicate major amounts of time and effort into a project to make it a really creative piece of art. Now I’m not saying that doodle or paint splatter isn’t creative, but the more and more someone doesn’t think outside of the box, the less creative they are likely to be. Creativity comes the heart and from the soul not from the mind. If one is to be creative they must think not from the mind, but from the heart.
