2. During today's lesson, my class mates
and I were given a task to discuss the
influences of creativity. We then told to go
away and reflect on our views and answer
a few questions in our own time.
Consisting of the following slides…..
3. Can you follow conventions but
still be creative?
Yes, I do believe you can tail conventions and still be
creative. I consider that being creative doesn’t
always just ball down to having an innovative idea; I
believe that being creative should be/is associated
with many different aspects of an idea. For example
following conventions can be looked upon as un-
unique but however it can also be seen as unique,
depending on how the conventions have been
recycled. In a sense of a set of convention can be
used and look similar but however they may not all
be portraying the same in-depth message to the
reader. So therefore the convention portraying the
most effective message in the conventional message
could be seen as a creative idea.
4. Can creativity be taught or learnt?
I believe that creativity can be taught, but however
depending on the individual’s willingness to want to
be creative. Hence if the individual doesn’t have the
passion or drive to be creative in whatever aspect
they are being taught, I highly doubt that they can be
taught how to be creative and retrieve it in the most
effective way in order to be creative in whatever
aspect they are being taught. In addition from my
perspective I do believe that creativity can also be
learnt. It again centers down to passion and will, in a
sense of the creativeness being manifested in an
individual who has the drive and non-distracted
interest to perfect the art they want to be creative in
or they want to take part in.
5. Is Creativity Better If It Is
Controlled In Some Way(s)?
From my perspective I believe creativity is not
better if controlled in some ways, as the
creativity should be seen as giving an individual
the freedom to be creative with or in anything
with no limitations. However I do have a counter
argument against my view, due to the fact that
creativity can be looked upon as better if
controlled in a sense of that if an individual is
given a task to be creative with limitations or
being controlled and somehow produces a
creative piece of art this can also/ is most likely
going to be looked upon as amazing or creative
6. Can Technology Enhance and
Encourage or Hamper Creativity?
In this day and age, I do believe technology can enhance
creativity. In a sense of that technology has made creative
software's available such as CAD, 3Dprinting and things
that could never of been done before. Of which may also
encourage people to try and be creative with these
software's after looking at the creative and artistic
outcomes from them. However this also may be looked
upon as un creative or drifting away from the traditional
creative standard. Of an individual actually producing an
art or object manually. However although technology can
enhance creativity it can also hamper creativity at the
same time. As some individuals who don’t know how to use
the technology to enhance creativity, this could leave them
at a disadvantage as they don’t know how to manipulate
software's.
7. Overall this task has allowed me to widen
my thoughts and thinking in regards to
creativity. Of which I believe will benefit
my a lot during the production of creating
my final piece.
Thanks For Viewing
