Creativity

 

            
             Creativity is an essential attribute of human beings that is primarily developed in our childhood. Creativity is defined as the ability to use the imagination to develop new and original ideas or things, especially in an artistic context. This artistic context can range anywhere from visual arts, to music, to dance. Although, the problem today is that this critical role of imagination, discovery, and creativity in a child's education is not being fulfilled to its maximum. The cause of this expanding problem is that too many art and music programs, which promote creativity, are being taken out of school programs. Problems around this issue then begin to surface; children will soon not appreciate, or realize, creativities" vital importance and how it shapes oneself. Programs teaching creativity should not be taken out of schools, since they teach children today how to mold themselves into unique individuals and grasp an understanding or our society. These issues are important for children, as well as many adults, because it allows them something to be involved in, and teach them something to truly care about. Creativity plays and important role in everyone's lives. .
             I remember when I was in elementary school I always loved going to art class. It was a time to express your self, and get out of regular class. Around fourth grade our school began having problems with the budget and the art program was the first to go, right along side the music program. Instead of having that time spot filled with creative innovation, we had to sit in our classroom and listen to our teacher talk for an extra hour. Then, being about nine years old, that seemed like an eternity. I have never really thought of myself as a creative person, I am not artistic, I can't sing, and I can't play any type of instrument. Perhaps it has nothing to do with me never experiencing these creative outlets as a child, but what if it had? How would that have changed my life in any significant manner? .
