I read "Arts and Living Spaces" by David Warlick. In this article, he firsts talks about the differences between the two terms creative and inventive. He said that creativity is taking what you are given and making something better, while inventiveness is the base or the original idea to start off with. In his words he says ,"Resourcefully solving a problem or accomplishing a goal." This all matters to me because I sometimes can relate to it when I make my art pieces. Because I am very interested and talented in art, it bugs me when people don't use their own ideas. Instead they make wealth out of the beauty of someone else's idea or art piece. This matters to the world because it truly makes us think that creativity is not all that bad in other areas beside art. For example, it started with ambition, rolled into a big chunky thing you talked through, went through thousands of modifications, and is now in my pocket and is known as a cell phone. If people did not build on the ideas of others, we would not be anywhere as a society or world right now. This matters to education because if we were not resourcefully solving problems or accomplishing goals, we would not be learning anything. To get the smarts, you have to learn from other people's mistakes. I think what David Warlik said is significant to all these matters and more.
