Creativity and Art

Creativity, without any doubts is an isperable element, which is applied to every kind of art. A creative artwork, regardless of the type it is presented through( whether film, animation, painting, music etc) fascinates the audience with novel ideas within it. Hence, every artist must seek methods that higher his level of creativity and inovation. Creativity, when applied to a certain kind of art, is applied relating to what is known as "Usual" and what goes beyond that ( conceptually or technically). whenever the artist succeeds to come up with a new idea, or a new form of an already-existing idea, creativity is comitted.

Defining Creativity

An article written by Uchechukwu Akuma Defines creativity as " the process of having new ideas or merging the existing facts and new discoveries to produce materials goods, services or anything that betters the lot of mankind.

Creativity is the ability to come up with a new Idea, which can later be presented in reality, or the ability to explore a new feature/ form of an idea that already exists. Creativity is often perceived as a positive term this is because without the ability to create, mankind could never improve his lifestyle to the point we can witness today, which is having the exposure to the latest technology and inventions to make life more convenient. Instance includes the invention of phonograph by Thomas Edison and Airplan by the Wright Brothers etc. However, history indicates that a creative mind could be severely dangerous when it is used improperly, as committed by Dictators such as Hitler. Undoubtedly, without a creative mind, he would not be able to take the control of a land and rule it.


The term “creativity” itself, is considered highly significant when it comes to Arts.


Looking through every well-known artwork, it could be seen that Creativity has influenced the artist mind, and its correlation with skill and experience has generated an interesting piece of art. Examples may include symphonies composed by Mahler, and Paintings of Picasso, and Animations of Tim Burton. Three musicians, a creative artwork

by Picasso, which presents humans

in a new abstract form of being( Cubism).
