Questions on creativity

What do you understand by ‘creativity’ and to what extent have you been creative?

To me creativity is to build something original with little reference to a current piece, I feel that I have used this to some degree in my work.

- How have you tried to facilitate and encourage your own creativity?
In all possible areas I have tried to construct ideas that are original, such as in my use of the infinate triangle.
- Did you experience limits/blocks on your own creativity?
Yes due to constraints on budget and equipment some of my ideas were not possible.
- How easy/difficult was it to be creative while still working to the brief?
This was something I found challenging to conform with.- Did working within conventions stifle your creativity?
To a degree yes.
- To what extent did you need to work with others and ‘bounce ideas’ off other people to be truly creative?
This was something I needed to do, especially with my work partner and teachers as well as peers.

This was the base of much of my creativity.
- How much of your creativity was about trial and error?#
In terms of draft to final work yes.
- To what extent was a lack of confidence an issue in terms of your creativity?
I did not have this constraint.

This created a barrier in my work I felt.
