This lecture considered how people have understood the nature of creativity and explored the way in which we can challenge the set methods which we have for ourselves in terms of thinking. Can you train yourself into thinking differently and therefor be more creative?
Are we creative?
Do we have to be completely original to be creative?
Could creativity be seeing things in a different way?
Is it enough for somebody to make something and for them to make it no matter how skilled or unskilled they are?
Example:
Local Wisdom By Dr. Kate Fletcher.
"The project explores satisfying and resourceful practices associated with using clothes. This ‘craft of use’ aims to challenge the dependency of the fashion industry on increasing material throughput and propose solutions through sustained attention to tending and using garments and not just creating them."
When looking at this work by Kate Fletcher, we could challenge it and question wether Fletcher is a creative because she see's the creativity in other people, listed on this website. Do we have to be creating something, our own work, to be creative? Or could the idea of capturing other people's creativeness and ideas be creative in itself? What are the boundaries of being creative?
