3. Is creativity an inevitable social good, invariably progressive, harmonious and collaborative; or is it capable of disruption, political critique and dissent, and even anti-social outcomes?
Creativity is capable of disruption, this is because it can influence bad ideas on people and distract them from what they are doing, this is because the creativity of media can cause disruption by interrupting others, not working as hard as you can do, not listening to others and so on... a theory that suggests creativity can be disruptive is: “A process needed for problem solving...not a special gift enjoyed by a few but a common ability possessed by most people" (Jones 1993), this suggests that people do not always enjoy being creative, so it suggests that people will not work as hard and this will cause disruption within a group. An example of creativity being disruptive or even anti social would be Hitler, because he killed many in what could be classes as in a creative way, but could be seen as a bad creativity.
In my project of making a music video with Damon and Nick in a group creativity was disruptive at times, this is because we joked a lot about some of the creative suggestions and we all also had many different points and we spent a lot of time arguing what to do, this falls into the disruptive side of creativity as it prevented us from doing the project at times.
4. What does the notion of creative teaching and learning imply?
We need guidelines to be creative as we do not enjoy being creative and we will not know where to start. An example of this would be when we were set our project for media and we had do create a music video of any genre and use whatever techniques we wanted to use, but they had to follow the conventions of a music video. At the beginning of the project we were struggling to select a song and genre to use, but we knew what we were doing and all of the creativity revolved around that. This shows that we need to be set a task in order to be creative.
