i came across this 3 episode radio show last night from bbc radio 4 that explores creativity -- where it comes from, can it be measured, and can you enhance it, among other things. it's neat because they look at it not purely artistically, but scientifically and include a lot of experiments, examples, and experts talking about the issues. for example, a lot of people get ideas when they're in bed or half asleep, and the reason is because slower brain waves allow thoughts that are usually inhibited to filter through. it's pretty fascinating, i even took notes, haha.
some tips on how to be more creative:
.observe observe observe! notice things!
.make and take the time for yourself to think
.read widely
.travel
.have courage to think in a different direction; allow yourself to ask questions
.realize that you are the only you; you have your own unique way of experiencing things
here's a link to the
show.
