Document Summary

Theories of creativity: kozbelt, aaron, ronald beghetto, and mark runco pg 25-41. The most practical suggest how to design environments so that the creative potentials of children will be fulfilled. emphasize the person, place, and potential aspects of creativity, and range from mini-c to pro-c. This is because these theories imply a trajectory that starts with more subjective forms of creativity (mini-c) and develops into more tangible and mature forms of creative expression. Early developmental theories were devised by examining the lives and family backgrounds of eminent creative persons. These suggested that particular developmental experiences were correlated with creativity. For instance, parents of creative children seemed to expose their children to diverse experiences and most were themselves in some ways creative. Optimal independence allows children to develop autonomy that can then" be used in their thinking and would allow them to devise original ideas. To name one outstanding example, galton (1869) had much to say about hereditary genius.
