Get Wild With Your Creativity
Imagination is presented as an important part of how we explore possibilities beyond what we already know.
Creativity is the ability to move beyond familiar answers and allow the mind to explore possibilities. Imagination can help us see alternatives, experiment and approach a problem from a different direction.
Knowledge gives us material to work with; imagination helps us rearrange, question and extend that material. Creative thinking can therefore be relevant not only to art, but also to learning, problem-solving and finding new ways to respond to everyday situations.
New possibilities are easier to notice when we give ourselves permission to explore before judging an idea.
Creativity often begins by asking whether a problem, experience or assumption can be viewed differently.
Imagination becomes useful when ideas are expressed, tested, discussed or turned into something tangible.
