Creativity - The 5 Rs 

27/9/2012

Really nice take on what it means to be creative. I was signposted to this from an early years music forum I'm a member of and it was originally from Ignite!Futures. I haven't looked at their website in detail but when I get the chance I will definitely take a closer look. 

"We refer to these attributes as the characteristics of creativity:

  1. Resilience – the capacity to tolerate confusion and ambiguity and to learn through trial and error;
  2. Resourcefulness – knowing what to do when you don’t know what to do, and having different thinking strategies;
  3. Reflection – being able to observe and document your own thinking;
  4. Relationships – the capacities to see and make connections, and develop more than one meaning or possibility;
  5. Risk-taking - the appetite for challenge, developing an eclectic curiosity and exploring new unfamiliar territory"



I can relate to all of these as part of my creative process and most notably at the moment "Resilience"; I am tolerating a lot of confusion and ambiguity at the moment!

These photos are from a session at SCVA working with the handling collection (my first time) and with a group of young people with special educational needs. The group had a very wide range of needs and abilities and I learnt a lot from working with them. I also learnt a lot (i.e what I won't do next time) from working with the handling collection and the brilliant practitioners in the Education Dept. there.
