Creativity

Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts, creativity is fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight. An alternative conception of creativeness is that it is simply the act of making something new.

(quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity)

Creativity in my point of view is something to relate with different or new ideas. As i understand, we can think of so many things which almost feel not logic at all in creative ideas. Some of the ideas can be logic in a way that people could understand the concept of the idea. Creativity could be also abstract as we can create so many impossible thoughts for an idea. Base from those ideas, we came out with concepts that support the idea.

There are some examples of how creative ideas could be in a logical way and illogical.


Iogical ideas

Leonardo da Vinci is an excellent example for logical ideas. he is born in 15 April 1452 in Italy. He is a great artist and inventor because of his many and diverse fields of arts and sciences. He contributed lots of ideas where is logical base from science and all his inventions are legend for a person back during high renaissance era.

Illogical ideas

M.C.Esher is born in 17 June 1898 in Netherlands. He is one of the world's most famous graphic artists. He is famous for his so-called impossible structures as his idea is mostly impossible to build in real world. He plays with most of the optical illusions to come out with his idea.
