What Is Creativity?

• Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative

ideas into reality.

• Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then

producing. If you have ideas, but don’t act on them,

you are imaginative but not creative.

• “Creativity is the process of bringing something new

into being. Creativity requires passion and

commitment.” - Sternberg & Lubart, Defying the Crowd

• “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking

risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.”

– Mary Lou Cook
