What is creative in my point of view?
Creative is the power to produce a great idea and to create something new that have a benefits to either our self or people. In order for us to be creative is we must have a lot of observation around us, experiences and also require a lot of thinking. For example, if we want to create new functional gadgets, we can't just sit in one place and keep thinking without doing anything. We have to look up for a references so that we can come out with a creative ideas.

My understanding about creativity:
I think creativity is an ability to turn the creative idea to something real. Its just like you think of something new and you make it real, make it possible for us to see and also touch the think from your imagination. for example is like to create a new character for an animation, first you have to think of it first, then you'll see it in your mind, after that you have to sketch your idea on the paper. That is the thinking creative part. The part how you make the character alive is the creativity.
