What is creativity?

This is a students from texas project, it has a few quotes about creativity and then clips of other students saying what they believe creativity is.

Quotes from the clip:

"Creativity is the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc originality, progressiveness, or imagination"

"Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties"

I think that these are basically saying that creativity is about not being hesitant to create something new and outside the box, but still having the ability to apply traditional ideas.

Creativity is putting original thoughts in to context
