What exactly is creativity? Sir Ken Robinson explains his point of view in his video Do schools kill creativity?
Creativity is the ability to use your imagination and to come up with your own valuable and original ideas. Picasso once said, "All children are born artists, the problem is to remain an artist as we grow up."
Creativity is very important in education because it brings out new and innovative ideas that make things interesting and exciting. If there wasn't any creativity, then everything would be the same and there would never be any progress. Creativity in education helps children find themselves and to think outside the box.
I see creativity the most when I'm out at my site school. When my first graders write a story or draw a picture, you can see their imagination working and creating. It's truly fascinating what little kids of that age can do. Rather than "killing" their different and spontaneous way of thinking, it should be encouraged.
