"In the creative state a man is taken out of himself. He lets down as it were a bucket into his subconscious and draws up something which is normally beyond his reach. He mixes this thing with his normal experiences and out of the mixture he makes a work of art."
E.M. Forster
The term "CREATIVITY" is the ability to outstrip traditional ideas, rules, patterns and create new ideas, methods that are unique and novel. It has become apparent that the creativity comes from the right side of the human brain and this is the side that is not utilized optimally as opposed to the left side of the brain. In order to work to its full potential, each of these hemispheres must be capable of analyzing its own input first, only exchanging information with the other half, by means of the interface, when a considerable amount of processing has taken place.Because both hemispheres are capable of working independently, human beings are able to process two streams of information at once.The brain then compares and integrates the information to obtain a broader and more in-depth understanding of the concept under examination.
The importance of using both the sides of the brain is significantly important. A car needs fuel to run; likewise, for the subconscious aspect of the right brain to function, it needs the data, collated and processed by the left brain. Lack of data into the left-hand hemisphere could result in the creative side, or right hemisphere, ‘drying up’ and hence the creative talent in many people remains untapped throughout life. Until we try, most of us never know what we can actually achieve. The pressure of modern life has closed our pathway to creativity.
We all have creativity - only that if we had tried, we would know whether we find it enjoyable or whether we have a talent or flair for it. Then, if these signs are positive, we must persevere. By cultivating new leisure activities and pursuing new pastimes, it is possible for each of us to explore the potential within us.
