SynopsisThe authors' purpose in this seventh book in the "It Works for Me" series is to demonstrate that "everyone possesses creative talent, though it may be latent in some and difficult to bring out in others. It's not just a talent possessed by artists and engineers, mind you, but everyone." Furthermore, "Creative people have figured out consciously or un- that a small seed of creativity can be made to grow by having the proper environment and a minimal set of skills. And people can be taught or self-taught this process."The authors/editors also believe that "all creative ideas link themselves to other creative ideas to develop something new and useful, be it a concept, a process, or a product. In order to disseminate and perpetuate their] belief that the creative impulse resides in all of us, they] have asked a host of friends to demonstrate it with essays and practical tips touching on supportive creative environments, strategies that foster and enhance creativity, and assessments that demonstrate creativity has indeed taken place."This easy-to-follow guide is separated into several sections: -Overviews-The Creative Process-The Creative Environment-The Creative Product-Assessing Creativity.Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet have each won the prestigious Acorn Award, which is presented annually to the outstanding college professor in the state of Kentucky. In addition, they have over 800 publications, including 12 books, articles running the gamut from literary criticism to educational research, and popular fiction.Other books in the "It Works for Me" series can be ordered from New Forums Press.
