Week 2.
List A - 5 words associated to 'creativity'.
List B - 5 words not associated to 'creativity'.
1. Explain further, discuss (or illustrate) how/why you came out with each word/idea? Can improve from words and see where it gets you.
List A :
- Idea
- Invention
- Imagination
- Innovation
- Hard work
For List A, I came up with five words that are associated with 'creative'. Which are Idea, Invention, Imagination, Innovation and Hard work. Idea is really important to show creativity. With great ideas we can enhance our creativity skills in expressing our ideas in a creative way so that it will be more interesting.
Besides that, with creative ideas it also can help us to create a new and useful invention just from scrap or unused items. More than that, imagination also can help to show our creativity. With imagination we can thing a lot of creative things even beyond our logical mind. Innovation also play an important role in creativity because it helps us to be able to think out side the box to create some thing new and greater than before.
But among those things, the most important thing in creativity is hark work. With great hard work and countless effort a lot of great creative artworks, inventions and ideas can be created. In conclusion, with great hard work nothing is impossible.
List B :
- Not Confident
- Scared
- Plagiarism
- Copying
- Give up
For List B, I came up with five words that are not associated with 'creative'. Which are Not Confident, Stereotype, Plagiarism, Copying and Give up. Confident is really important to become a creative individual. This because without having a high confident we are unable to express our creative ideas and creative talent to show it and express it to others. Besides that, scared is also another word which is not associated with creative. Scared come in many different ways like scared to try new things, scared of expressing new ideas and scared of failing. This examples shows that, if we are scared of those things we are scared of all those things we are unable to think, express and become creative. More than that, plagiarism is also not associated with creative. In this case, plagiarism is and act of stealing others creative ideas or artworks and clamming that those are theirs. This plagiarism is not good act to enhance our creative skills because it doesn't help us to brain storming to think of new creative ideas. Same goes to copying, by copying other people artworks or ideas without trying to improvise it, this dose not make them much creative but this will make them much more uncreative. Lastly is give up, by hard work and countless amount of effort it can help use to become much more creative. If we easily give up event without trying first, we will never ever able to improvise, think and become much more creative.
2. Respond and reflect to the Ken Robinson 2006 Ted Talk episode on creativity education and intelligence. You can find the link at the reference note of Lecture notes for Week 2.
Based on the video above, I believe that creative education is really important in our life but most of use does not feel the same way. Most people tend to think that creative education is not important because based on their opinion it will not help use in getting a great job and a promising future. Nowadays, most people have no interest in learning creative education. Most of them much prefer to study in much higher educational courses such as science and mathematics. This because they believe that those courses will provide them a much better future by getting a good job, rather then taking creative education which by their opinion does not provide them any future. Besides that, Sir Ken Robinson also mention a phrase by Pablo Picasso which is "every child is born an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up". In my opinion, this is true. This because when we are little kids we do a lot of creative stuff like drawing, coloring, and singing. But as we grow up like in middle school or high school, we does not have a chance and time to do creative stuff because we are busy studying of others educational subjects like science and mathematics. This blocks our creativity preventing use to be creative and think creatively.
