Define "Creativity"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity
Creativity refers to the phenomenon whereby a person creates something new (a product, a solution, a work of art etc.) that has some kind of value. What counts as "new" may be in reference to the individual creator, or to the society or domain within which the novelty occurs. What counts as "valuable" is similarly defined in a variety of ways.

Class work from our game of consequences:
As a class we played a game called the 'game of consequences' we realized that we played it wrong first time round producing the creative sentence 'Amber Zoe and David Beckham met at Aqua Splash, He said "Hiya" she said "I have a chicken farm" and the consequences were, they went on a boating trip together and had a lovely trout supper'. However we played the same game again and changed it a little bit by adding nouns, verbs and adjectives to make it more creative, here is an example of what we had done:

The Consequences Game

As a class we all played the 'consequences game', to do this we had a piece of paper each and had to write the word 'the' and an adjective, we folded the paper over and passed it over to the next paper and they had to do the same again however this time using a noun, same again but using verb, then 'the' and adjective and lastly finishing it off with another noun. After we finished the game we were all left with the paper we started of with first and received an creative certain each to which we had to produce a picture out of the sentence, so this was my sentence I had recieved:

'The yellow rubber swims the purple plum'

Independent Study:

We were all set a task to produce an individual creative piece for our work so for my independent part of being creative I decided to produce a collage of 'me', and showing how it is being a 'Muslim', I did this by putting lots of images together with my family and my cultural beliefs:
