What you need to study as a creative
There’s a field that offers insights into what makes geniuses tick.
It suggests there are rules to the spark of brilliance that you might think comes from Muses.
Appropriately enough, the field is “creativity studies.”
Maybe it’s a bit of a shock that researchers would study something like this.
It makes you ask the question: Is a field like this too obvious?
Well, this is the heart of what creativity studies is about: making us rethink the obvious.
Once you realize even the most tired and worn of ideas become recognized as ideas, they’re fair game to be reevaluated and reworked.
The field studying creativity has the potential to open up the world to where inspiration comes from.
So it’s safe to say the subject is anything but obvious.
It may even be a subject that you’re tired of hearing about simply because there’s hardly any new information on it available, especially if you’ve studied creativity and all the top thinkers before.
As we study creativity, ask ourselves, “what makes something creative?”
We can ask this about the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock.
