ANALYSIS OF CREATIVITY

At the begin­ning of the pro­ject, a ques­tion­naire was sent to artists from dif­fer­ent dis­cip­lines and from the four par­ti­cip­at­ing coun­tries (Spain, Cyprus, Italy, and Portugal). After ana­lyz­ing the responses, the fol­low­ing res­ults were compiled.

First of all, it’s worth high­light­ing the dis­cip­lines in which these artists work as they are very var­ied. From comedi­ans, act­ors, and act­resses, break­ing and con­tem­por­ary dan­cers, sing­ers, and com­posers to cre­at­ors of urb­an art and digit­al content.

One of the main ques­tions was wheth­er there is a par­tic­u­lar time that is best for artist­ic cre­ation. According to Vygotsky (1999), cre­ativ­ity arises due to the con­stant trans­form­a­tion of the envir­on­ment in which humans inhabit.

Another inter­est­ing ques­tion we ana­lyzed is how inspir­a­tion arises or what are the tricks to boost cre­ativ­ity. According to Ferrer, the act of cre­at­ing first mani­fests itself in our head and then, through a pro­cess, mani­fests itself in real­ity. The artists’ answers were very similar.

Having solved the first doubts, the main ques­tion was what steps to take in order to move for­ward with the cre­ation or what is the most appro­pri­ate organization/plan.

After ana­lyz­ing the res­ults, it was inter­est­ing to dis­cov­er how, depend­ing on the coun­try, the man­age­ment meth­od is sim­il­ar among artists, even if their dis­cip­line is different.

In short, cre­ativ­ity is a skill that we must work on and prac­tice in order to devel­op, as every­one has the abil­ity to cre­ate. In the same way, we con­clude that main­tain­ing a routine is an import­ant point in order to achieve the goals set, as well as the rela­tion­ship with groups of people who sup­port and value the mean­ing of our initiatives.
