Creativity Unleashed

Jan 12th, 2015

Creativity - a natural trait or a nurtured habit..Now that is the question!

Re-reading "The Creative Habit" by Twyla Tharp and oh wow yet again.!!Thought-provoking, energizing, motivating, and challenging...An interesting perspective on how we can cultivate healthy habits - rituals, that allow us to then unleash our creative potential. I, at once, related this to the notion of Understanding by Design that is implemented in curriculum design..
Just like understanding doesn't just happen and often needs careful thought, design, staging, and research behind it, so does the ability to nurture creativity.. Immensely powerful message as it takes one away from the notion of an entity view that you either have it or you don't, to an incremental view where you can initiate, build, develop, and sustain your unlimited potential.
