Creativity is a learned skill. It is true that some people have more imagination than others, but everybody can become creative. Interesting is that if you ask people to count their creative activities, most of them will think of objects... like drawing, painting, mosaic, or scrap booking craft, etc. This answer is understandable; however it shows our limits of thinking. And what if as creative activity we would consider as well innovative process of cooking, new solutions on complex technical problem, different dress up for special occasion, or just taking pictures of the same object from different ankles. So lets me ask again... how many creative activities have done in last 3 months?
Creativity is rather about the journey than about the result itself. The process of finding the idea, inventing the new ways of development, combining various materials and resources in unusual way or simply changing the concept in the middle of the project but still striving for the same objective.
Our latest creative activity with Karim was building our own table for the living room. As we could not find anything suitable in Parisian shops, we decided to create one by ourselves. First we bought piece of wood, wooden legs, thin pole and material for painting. Next step was to choose the picture for mosaic.... although as
you can see we changed the idea in the middle and finally our small table is a crossroad of many journeys:-)
