What is Creativity?

Sir Ken Robinson believes that creativity is lost through education and growing up "Many people leave education with no idea what their real creative abilities are." (Robinson in his book 'Out of Our Minds:Learning to be Creative'.)






This is a speech made by Ken Robinson who states that creativity is lost through growing up and schools putting pressure on students not to get things wrong ever. To prove this he says that younger children who don't know whether they are right or wrong, will stilltake a chance and are not afraid of making mistakes. I believe this is true due to seeing other students in other lessons hesitate to say an answer or speak, due to fear of being wrong. However I believe this theory is flawed due to older generations of students having more life time experience and awareness of their enviroment. This will give them more inspiration and abilities of what is avalible to them for creative ideas to come to them.
