Incredible India Monthly Contest of March #1:Imagination vs Creation!
Do you believe imagination is equally significant before creating something? Your view!
Yes, I strongly believe that imagination is very crucial before anything is established. Imagination can be compared to the origin of any creations. Before something becomes a reality, it begins in the mind of an individual as an idea, a picture or a possibility. When they visualize they potentially explore the possibilities of how something can look, function, or feel. This mode of thinking helps them to plan, experiment and shape their thoughts and make them actual.
To take the instance of artists, they are meditating about their paintings, before they reach the brush and the canvas, before they make their machine, before they write down their stories. The world would not be created because without imagination, people would be imitating the already existing ones. Imagination helps individuals to visualize what is not there in the current moment and inject something new in the world. Therefore, imagination cannot be merely important, but it can hardly be divided into imagination and the creation process.
"Creation is beyond age"! How do you glance at the term!.
Age (creation beyond age) is a term suggesting that the creative ability is not associated with age of a human being. He or she can become creative at any age. Because of free and inquisitive minds, children are likely to generate wonderful drawings, tales and thoughts. At the same time, the elderly come up with useful innovations, works of art, and solutions as a result of their knowledge and experience. Age does not eliminate creativity, old age may influence the way one thinks or the manner in which he or she extracts ideas.
In fact, every age would show it differently in terms of visions that would be of value to the creative process. Young minds have fresh imagination and old minds have wisdom and understanding. Whenever the two forms of thinking are taken into consideration, creativity is increased and becomes more diverse. Creation is therefore not out of age since human mind is capable of creating new things in life.
Do you think we are only able to create anything when our imagination is transparent? Your belief!
I believe that imagination cannot be so clear and perfect and transparent and only after that, the process of creation should begin. In fact, the development of most of the creative works incidence occurs during the creation process. Sometimes the idea or thought is hazy or unclear and as one works on it, he/she narrows it down and gets clearer. Even creation helps to perfect imagination. Indicatively, an author may start with a small idea, and may discover what the whole story is all about as the author writes.
The reason is the same; inventors tend to undertake many changes to their designs before achieving the final product. Therefore imagination and creation are likely to be developed concurrently. It is certainly possible to lead the process with the support of an understanding imagination but creativity does not require a deep understanding of the process even in the very beginning. The best thing is the wish to talk about plans, test them, and continue developing them.
Thanks for reading my post I'm inviting @josepha, @bela90 and @chant to participate in this contest.
Reading your post makes it very clear that imagination and creation are actually two important parts of the same process. You said very well that every creation first arises in the mind of man as an idea and then gradually turns into reality. Especially the fact that creativity is not limited to a certain age is very impressive as children can produce beautiful creations with their fresh thinking and elders with their experience. Likewise, you are right that sometimes the idea is not completely clear but it gets better and clearer during the process of creation. Overall, you have described the relationship between imagination and creation very beautifully.
