CREATIVITY IN VISUAL ART

This paper examines the nature of creativity in visual art. Creativity requires originality and effectiveness in the work of art whether it is a design or a painting. Originality is undoubtedly required. It is often labeled novelty, but whatever the label, if something is not unusual, novel or unique, it is commonplace, mundane or conventional. It is undoubtedly cannot be called creative work. According to my opinion, creativity requires confluence of some instinct like intellectual abilities, knowledge, and style of thinking, personality, motivation and environment. It varies across time and place but nature of creativity essentially the same around the globe.
