We've all heard people say “Oh, that person is so creative!” about someone who is great at art. But art is just one area where people can be creative.
Any time you try something different to deal with a problem, you're being creative. In sports, that might mean trying new moves to score a goal. In engineering, that might mean joining different materials together to make a container that will protect an egg. At home, it could mean working out a short cut to get to your friend's house. You are creative every day!
Are some people naturally more creative than others? Maybe, but anyone can get more creative with practice. Here are some methods that work for experts who are creative in very different ways.
Explore and imagine
Shigeru Miyamoto is the brains behind some of the world's most popular video games, such as Super Mario Bros. He exercised his creativity(创造力) like a muscle(肌肉) when he was growing up near Kyoto, Japan. He spent hours exploring nature and going on adventures(历险) in his mind. As a game designer, he still finds joy in making up new worlds and adventures.
Make wacky mash-ups(混搭)
Dr Neri Oxman and her team combine things that don't usually go together. They mixed ideas from robots and insects when they invented small robots that spin fibers the way silkworms(蚕) do. In the future, their work may lead to groups of robots that quickly build many types of buildings.
If you come up with ideas you're not sure about, don't worry—you're not alone. Dr Oxman said she often doubted her ideas. “My father said, ‘When you create something, you must always feel a little bit uncomfortable. And if you're feeling uncomfortable and alone, you know you're doing something right. ’”
Find pictures in patterns
Have you ever looked for animal shapes in clouds? The artist Leonardo da Vinci looked everywhere for patterns that would spark his imagination.
He wrote that artists should look at stone walls and irregular stains(不规则的污渍) to discover landscapes or strange faces and costumes, and an endless variety of objects.
