2. CREATIVTY
 The creative process is the evolution of an idea into its
final form through a progression of thoughts and
actions.
 Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new
and appropriate is created
 Creativity is the capacity to think out of the box, the
step aside.

3. CREATIVE PROCESS:
DEVELOPMENT OF AN IDEA
PREPARATION: gathering information and materials, identifying sources of
inspiration, and acquiring knowledge about the project or problem at hand.
This is often an internal process (thinking deeply to generate and engage with
ideas) as well as an external one (going out into the world to gather the
necessary data, resources, materials, and expertise).
INCUBATION: allowing ideas to grow in the mind giving it proper thought
and ideas. You nurture the unconscious thought process, for example, by
staying open to the ideas that come to you while you do the dishes or go for
a walk. You open your mind to all ideas—even the crazy ones.

4. ILLUMINATION: This stage essentially describes the classic “eureka!” or “aha”
moment of insight. This is the moment where your solution or idea moves
from your subconscious to the forefront of your mind.
Your idea may come to you while you are eating breakfast, doing laundry, or
even studying for an exam. Suddenly, you know what the next verse of your
song should be, how your book should end, or what the solution is to your
problem.

5. EVALUATION: this stage involves thinking critically about the new idea and
weighing it against other solutions. You may seek feedback from peers, conduct
marketing research to test the idea, or compare it to the original problem to see if it
really works as a solution.
VERIFICATION :The final stage of the process is where you bring your idea to
fruition. This is where you actually write your story, paint your picture, or create
your new invention. You are finally ready to share your new idea with the world.
