Creativit Lives at Al-IS Creativity is the ability to bring into exis- tence, to make, or to originate. When most of us think of creativity, a painter with a paint brush or a writer of novels comes to mind. However, these are only a few of the ways in which the human mind displays its creative ability. Some of the less obvious are the guitarist formulating musical notes into beautiful, harmonious sound, a drafting student creating plans for his dream house, a potter at his potters wheel molding a hunk of clay into a perfectly formed pot, or the chorus class performing an original dance step and song, Even a member of the newspaper staff obtaining information and writing an article is using his creative talents.
