Creativity

We as humans have are not just consumers we have a creative spirit within us. We sing, write, compose, entertain, sculpt, invent. The The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages. Generally described as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art.

It was a time when the creative spirit within us manifested itself in so many ways we still acknowledge today. This period gave rise to many of the "Masters" of art, music, and thought (Science). Even today, to be called a "renaissance person" is a complement signifying that a person peruses excellence in many of areas.

Etymologyedit The English word "creativity" comes from the Latin term creare (meaning "to create"). Its derivational suffixes also come from Latin, such as the etymological root “crescere”, which means “to let things grow”. This aspect of creativity is emphasized more in indigenous and Eastern concepts of creativity.[citation needed] The word "create" appeared in English as early as the 14th century—notably in Chaucer's The Parson's Tale[1] to indicate divine creation.[2] The modern meaning of creativity in reference to human creation did not emerge until after the Age of Enlightenment.[citation needed]
