In Ancient Greece and Rome, many people believed that all creative ideas originated from the nine muses, deities who delivered inspiration to artists and were the source of all human creativity. While few people believe in these goddesses of creativity anymore, many still believe that creativity is an intangible force, possessed by only a select few people who choose to be artists, writers, or musicians.This weeks media presentation shows that the opposite is true; there are many different ways to be creative, and all people can generate creative ideas, whether they are laborers, artists, or businesspeople.For this weeks Shared Practice, consider the myths and popular misconceptions about creativity shown in this weeks media presentation. In your past, have you believed in these myths or perhaps applied them to yourself?Post by Day 3 your analysis of how these myths and misconceptions regarding creativity relate to your own past understandings of creativity or those you have encountered in others.
