The problem of creativity is one of the traditional and so-called "eternal" questions of philosophy. Its occurrence is associated with interest in ontological problems in general. Creativity contributes to self-development and self-discovery of a person. The mechanisms of creativity are still not well understood. Nevertheless, it is possible to say with certainty that creativity is a product of human evolution, and cognition is an active creative process of searching for something new, original and even unique. Needless to say, the perception has different levels, degree of immersion and understanding and an object.
One of the important components of creativity is knowledge - the result of human cognitive activity and its form of existence and systematization. From the course of social studies, it is known that cognition is the process of obtaining knowledge about the world. The following definition can be found: cognition is a process of purposeful active reflection of reality in the human mind. The basis of cognition is that a person not only observes or contemplates the world around him, but in the process of his life activity transforms it.
The creative process can contain several stages: the construction of the problem, the transformation from the problem of its unconscious awareness, the emergence of a subconscious resolution, and ultimately the verification and implementation of the resolution.
Creativity can be distinguished as artistic, scientific, technical, political, sports and many others. Creativity is a characteristic feature of the human mind and opens up a wide range of possibilities. The main criterion that distinguishes creativity from manufacturing (production) is its unique result, which can not be directly derived from the initial conditions. No one, except the author, can get exactly the same result if you create for him these conditions. Thus, in the process of creativity, the author puts into the material some possibilities, unlike labour operations or logical inference, and eventually expresses some aspects of his personality. This very fact gives the products of creativity additional value in comparison with the materials that were manufactured.
Creativity, which is a way of connection between a person and the world, can be viewed not only as a process of producing something new, but also as a process that takes place when an individual (or the inner world of a person) interacts with reality. In this case, changes occur not only in reality, but also in the individual.
For a child creativity is a form of learning about the world, expressing, getting rid of stress and fear, distracting from negative emotions. In the process of different types of creativity, the child experiments, creates something new for himself and makes important discoveries. In addition, any type of collaborative creativity makes social adaptation easier. Children's creativity is divided into artistic, technical and musical.
1. Artistic activity consists of creating compositions by modeling, drawing, appliqué, and literature, which leads to the development of aesthetic taste. In early childhood, children draw intuitively, paying attention to the properties of the material and not giving importance to the image itself. By the age of five, images become meaningful, while at the age of ten, children begin to put in the drawing a plot, as well as the meaning.
2. Technical creativity forms a child's interest in science, the ability to rational thinking and solving tasks. At a younger age, children are engaged in simple technical devices, and in school they create more complex structures.
3. Musical creativity involves playing musical instruments, singing, dancing. This kind of creativity will help to develop a child's musical taste and hearing. Music is one of the first types of creativity available to a child, through which he perceives the world around him, and with the help of dancing a child also develops physically, becomes stronger, obtains balance and coordination.
