How can you tell if a person is creative or a creative person?

Answer 1

If He or She looks wild-eyed, thoughtfull & Lost. Put those 3 together- & you have a creative genius in the making! :)

Answer 2

A creative person tends to think outside the box. Where most people would approach a situation in the usual manner, the creative person would approach it from a totally different point of view. VanGogh, Picasso, and others studied fine arts and painted in the accepted style -- for a while -- then they broke out of their molds and developed their own style. It was not well received by most people, but they had the courage to do their own thing.

I saw an interview with a Hollywood director and he mentioned that he attended film academy with George Lucas and some others who have gone on to be very famous. He mentioned that by the second year at the academy their professor had labeled them as "trouble makers" because they tended to break school rules. By that he didn't mean that they misbehaved, but rather, that their approach to assignments tended to be very personal and creative -- outside the norm. They developed their own techniques, did things their way -- and it wasn't very well received by their teachers. But who has the last laugh now! LOL

Answer 3

I think it depends on the person. I am a creative person, meaning I have the ability to make things from my hands, but mostly out of other things. My husband on the other hand is the artist out of the both of us, He writes music, throws pottery, plays guitar, writes poetry, he a carpenter (is there anything my man can't do? ;) ), it's a totally different type of creativity. I can't write music but I have taken music and made some pretty cool medleys and arrangements.

Answer 4

Hi,
"Creativity" takes on many different forms, what is creative to one, may be total junk to someone else. Take Andy Warhol for instance, He took like 75 Brillo pad boxes, put them all together, and it was a "smash" at the Greenwich Village Galleries, in my opinion, Warhol's "work" was nothing but "LSD (acid) influenced, "Avante' Garde", CRAP. Now, I'm sure there are many folks out there that disagree with me,
but you know what they say about opinions.........
Anyway, "Beauty, (in this case creativity) is in the eye of the Beholder."

Hope I "broadened your perspective"
on the meaning of creativity.
Take care,
