Where Does Creativity Come From:
According to Amy Tan no one really knows where creativity comes from, some say it comes from spasms in the temporal lobe or some other sort of neurological explanation. Amy Tan views creativity as an inability to repress ones feelings and inability to find a real meaning in a process. I do believe this holds true, especially when watching the Dan Brackage video. Trying to understand a meaning or a message is kind of discomforting but rather letting it inspire you and letting it invoke a response may be its purpose all together. Amy stated that people obtain skills, but some may not have obtained the skills that enable creativity, some may not understand or respond to art, music like SPOON, or videos how others would. Creativity comes from experience, what people are exposed too and how they are conditioned to respond. It stems from ones own ambiguity about what should be done about something and what actually should be done. There is no real clear answer if where creativity is from or who gets more, how they get It and how someone doesn’t have it, the uncertainty in it is what draws people to want to know more about it and the things that inspire them to be creative at all.
