talk:Creativity

Is it me or is artistic creativity largely absent from this article which has every theory about creativity most people reading this article probably would care little to nothing about? Drocj (talk) 02:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

:Artists will tell you they depend on inspiration to be creative. That's not even in here. Drocj (talk) 03:00, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

::The conceptual history section does talk a lot about the history of the concept of artistic creativity. Mrfoogles (talk) 03:20, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

:::Creativity is something you employ to create things. Its not JUST an abstract concept, its a very tangible thing. Either you have the ability to create or you don't. Either you have the ability to shoot a basketball into a hoop or you don't. The history of something is not the same thing as the thing itself. Drocj (talk) 03:29, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

::::There is an article on artistic inspiration if that's what you're looking for, or possibly Flow (psychology). The article this talkpage is attached to looks (should look) at creativity as it is studied in the scholarly literature. The question "how does creativity occur" turns out to be more complicated than a simple inspirational model or an innate creativity model. It's perhaps inevitable that some come away from this sort of material feeling that the goose that laid the golden eggs has been slaughtered, but I'm not sure how that can be helped.
