My definition of creativity

Many people view creativity in different ways, not all people think and feel the same way about what is and is not creative. I feel that creativity is originality, being yourself, using things a new way, letting your mind wonder, and thinking outside of the box. Creativity is usually used to build an object like a building, which is first drawn or sketched out by an architect, or used in engineering to build a machine, which is also first drawn out in plans. Creativity is also used in art forms in a sense the builders and engineers are also artists who are making something creative. Originality is creativity for the reason being that if all buildings or machines are the same, there is nothing interesting about them, because they are all the same. When all things are the same, that is not creative, it is copying. Being your own person and having originality helps create different models of a building or a machine. The different models and new ideas that were used to update the older product are what make the idea creative, someone can tweak and edit the product to make it more efficient. When thinking about an idea for a product or an art piece, one should never have limits. Thinking outside the box is a successful way to think about something. When your mind has no limits or boundaries that is when the creative ideas start spilling out. When your mind is closed off from new and interesting ideas the person will only think about things that are already invented, but that is not creative, it has already been done, therefor that makes it not interesting to people. Creativity can be viewed differently from person to person, but I feel that creativity is inside of you, with the walls down so you can fully reach your minds potential to create something wonderful and creative.
