PostHeaderIcon Assignment 1 : Between Creative & Creativity

At first I though it was the same definition, but Lecturer ask to compare between creative and creativity, so I do some research and figure it out.

As always, surf online and read around. Through Wikipedia, creative and creativity, it's under a same topic = same.


Creative
1. having the quality or power of creating.
2. resulting from originality of thought, expression, etc.; imaginative: creative writing.
3. originative; productive (usually fol. by of).
4. Facetious. using or creating exaggerated or skewed data, information, etc.: creative bookkeeping.

Creativity
1. The state or quality of being creative.
2. The ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns, relationship, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc. ; originality, progressiveness, or imagination: the need for creativity in modern industry; creativity in the performing arts.
3. The process by which one utilizes creative ability : Extensive reading stimulated his creativity.

For me,
creative is creating out something that doens't exist yet, and it is new thing.
Creativity is based on creative, to transform and improve something already exist into a better or different thing, design, usage or any others.
