Can Creativity Be Learned?

There are people who believe that creativity is something you are born with... I don't think so. What makes a person creative is more a choice of a actions, rather than destiny.

As you know the brain is divided in two. I am sure you remember what each side does. Here is a chance for you to test which side of the brain you use most. then you also have to be more aware of what type of learner you are, as you will probably communicate a similar fashion.

We need to "polish" or develop your creativity... or at least know how to create in the age of remix. Why don't people use their creativity more often? I will tell you why; because it is easier not to think; it takes less effort to do things the way we have always done them; it is more comfortable NOT to take risks; it is less comlicated to do what is commonly accepted. What happens if you do what EVERYBODY else does is... mmm... nothing. You are safe. Bored, but safe.
We will not be safe anymore. Today, you will creatively explore your own creativity and personality. This is your chance to determine what should be expected and content which is truely original and creative.

Avoid apathy and laziness. This assigment is part of this month's grade.
