There are a lot of myths we believe about creativity. Whether someone is a seasoned “creative” or just beginning to explore creativity, these lies are major barriers to being createfull. In this episode, we discuss ten myths we (and some of our Make.Do. participants) have believed about creativity. 

Ten Myths of Creativity:

  • I am not creative.
  • "Creative" and "artistic" are the same thing.
  • The "arts" are the only way to express creativity.
  • Creativity comes naturally.
  • Creativity is a feeling.
  • If I didn't come up with the idea, then I'm not really being creative.
  • Creative success is determined by the outcome.
  • I can be good or bad at creativity.
  • A failed attempt means I"m not creative.
  • "Creatives" are good at all creative things.
