Creative vs. Knowledge

Creativeness I think can be hard to describe. From what I gather I think that being creative is taking simple ideas and putting a new twist to it, making it something that people haven’t seen before. It’s expanding past ordinary steps and results and turning it into something that’s eye-catching. When people talk about so-and-so, and saying that they are so creative, I think that means that this person can look past something that may be dull and make it become exciting. Creativeness is the act of creating, which is essentially originality. I think that the main thing that being creative is about is being original and creating something that’s considered to be new. Being creative I feel falls in line with design a lot because it requires a lot of new twists and fresh ideas.

Knowledge is also important, for I feel that you can’t be creative without it. Knowledge is what someone has learned and gathered from other material they have been taught or observed. There are artists who I feel understand many different techniques and proper ways to go about creating, but they’re ideas may not be original as they are sticking to what they know and make that strong. So how creativeness and knowledge go hand in hand is that being creative is going outside the guidelines, taking the knowledge you know and creating something new.
