Im new to design and this was brought up in my classes.

Can creativity be taught? What does this mean for the teaching of design?

I dont know if I support this or if Im against this statement.

What does everyone here think?

Some people can sing, some can draw, some are good at mathematical problems.

If you really work at learning to sing, really, really try, you can perhaps be 75% of what the natural singer is, but you will never surpass them.

As Clint Eastwood said, "A man needs to know his own limitations."

Some things like coding and what everything does in a program can be taught. But actually know what to do and making those pictures in your head come to life, or even having the pictures in your head in the first place, thats something that can only be known. You cant teach imagination.

Creativity cannot be taught. But it can be nurtured, encouraged and inspired.
