Mission, creativity…………
Adventures in creativity helps develop the psychological
wellbeing and the creative/innovative potential of individuals
and organizations, this often includes the family and
community.
The process that we embark on when creating can be
accidental, a chance happening that can make you see
and think differently. Using techniques, deliberate
creative thinking can develop new thoughts, ideas and
processes.
Ongoing investigation, play, experimentation, innovation, questioning
and analysis helps develop awareness through doing. The freedom to explore and express promotes opportunities to share ideas and concerns.
When individuals participate and involve themselves in the creative process consciously or unconsciously, change and growth occurs.
Historically and presently every society and individual displays some form of behaviour that can be called "Art" and in most societies other then our own, "Art" plays an important part in social life.
Art can be about making, but equally involves ideas, thinking, discussion and conversations.
Creativity can be described as a fundamental necessity
of human existence, artwork can reflect the character,
identity, personality, individuality and
uniqueness of a person and often portrays the way people
think and feel about themselves and can reflect their
relationship to the world. (Visualization, actualization,
realization).
The urge or impulse to bring into existence something
new is innate as is the need to make special.
