Creativity unwrapped: discover what creativity is (Skillshare)

Take a whistle-stop tour of what creativity is, what it means to different people and where it comes from. In this short 14-minute class with marketing and creativity expert, Kevin Mann, you’ll look at different definitions, challenge some common beliefs and get a chance to uncover what is creative in you.

This course is for anyone who is a little bit curious about the nature of creativity; and if they have any of it. You won’t need a technical or scientific background, and you certainly will not need to be artistic. All you’ll need is an open mind.

Project Description

Creativity and you
Take a few minutes to:

  • consider your creative abilities;
  • and devise what ‘creativity’ means to you;

Take a sheet of (A4) paper and draw a 3X3 grid in the top half. In the middle box, write “Me”, or doodle a selfie if you prefer. From what you’ve learnt in the class, think about what your creative qualities could be. What are your conflicting traits? Are you analytical? Are you a dreamer? Don’t think too hard. Just whatever pops into your head. Fill up the 8 boxes with 8 words or pictures that come to mind when you think about creativity and you.
Then below the grid, write: “To me, creativity is…”, and complete the sentence, in no more than 20 words. There are not right or wrong answers, so feel free to be imaginative.
Finally, share your work and see what others have said.
