CHAPTER 5: Creativity, Children and the Classroom

Abstract

INTRODUCTION
Creativity entails the forming or making of novel  things. Creativity is a problem-solving endeavour that gives birth to new concepts. it 
involves innovativeness, and inventiveness, in terms of material and procedure ingenuity in craftsmanship. The created item may be intangible such as an idea, a scientific theory, a musical composition, or a joke. Hornby (2015) sees creativity as having the skill and ability to produce something new, especially a work of art. It is commonly argued that the notion of “creativity” originated in Western Culture through Christianity. According to the historian, Daniel J. Boorstin, the early Western conception of creativity was the Biblical Story of creation given in Genesis.
