| - | '''Creativity''' (or '''creativeness''') is a mental process involving the generation of [[new]] [[idea]]s or [[concepts]], or new associations between existing ideas or concepts. | ||
| - | From a scientific point of view, the products of creative thought (sometimes referred to as [[convergent and divergent production|divergent thought]]) are usually considered to have both ''originality'' and ''appropriateness''. An alternative, more everyday conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new. | + | '''Creation''' may refer to: |

She also explores research that identifies [[mood disorder]]s in such famous writers and artists as [[Ernest Hemingway]] (who shot himself after [[electroconvulsive treatment]]), [[Virginia Woolf]] (who drowned herself when she felt a depressive episode coming on), composer [[Robert Schumann]] (who died in a mental institution), and even the famed [[visual artist]], [[Michelangelo]]. | ||

The [[ancient Greece|ancient Greek]] concept of [[art]] (in Greek, "''techne''" — the root of "technique" and "technology"), except for [[poetry]], involved not freedom of action but subjection to ''rules''.
