Family Service Centres Welcome to the SCERTS® Model website References A Brief Review of Creativity "Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found." --James Russell Lowell Often times creativity is thought to be artistic, lofty, intelligent, out-of-the-ordinary, and beyond understanding. However, creativity comes in much simpler forms such as formulating a solution to an everyday problem; if someone runs out of fuel on the highway, the person must think of a way to get to his/her destination, and this requires creativity even if it is in its simplest form.
