This, in my opinion, is master Akim Pogrebnyak. He could not immediately agree to the construction of a temple according to some model (like everywhere else!), he had to imagine, build this structure in his thoughts, “see it,” “feel it,” and only then begin work. As a result of severe mental torment, inspiration came to the master; he saw “his” temple - “a cheerful, sunny temple made of pine boards” with copper, and perhaps “golden” bells.

Becoming a Master, a human creator, is not easy. It requires talent, inspiration, and a lot of work on yourself. Not everyone has the strength to do this. But whoever nevertheless dares to achieve the glory of the Master has a great reward - spiritual joy, satisfaction, pride and, most importantly, honor from people, their gratitude. What could be better in life!

A person received the basics of spirituality in childhood, consciously or subconsciously influencing his entire life. An example is the life of Taras Grigorievich Shevchenko. This is a legendary man. It seemed that in his poor, forced, and even orphaned life, there was nothing that would help him grow into a strong, creative, highly educated person with a poetic and romantic worldview. But still Shevchenko became like this!

It is obvious that he managed to collect the smallest manifestations of love for himself from his parents, sisters and brothers, and his kind neighbor Oksana. I remembered numerous songs that I heard from relatives and fellow villagers on holidays, the heroic stories of grandfather Ivan, even the science that was not always clear to Dyakov. The main components that helped Shevchenko become what he became were, in childhood, a thirst for knowledge of the world (remember his trip to the iron pillars that support the sky!), for learning, the desire to recreate his feelings in songs and drawings, and a great “internal will". This gave him the opportunity to rebel against violence at an early age and at least somehow change his fate as a “rural farm boy.”

The peasants during Shevchenko’s time may not have been able to speak beautifully, teach their children many things, or raise them according to the rules. But there was an unwritten folk pedagogy, a rich oral folk art that glorified universal human values: love, kindness, faith, respect for elders, hard work, dignity. And these were very strong factors that, multiplied by talent, gave the Ukrainian nation an exponent of its thoughts, a defender, a great writer T. G. Shevchenko.

Of course, there are not many geniuses, but parents from an early age should take care to lay the foundations of spirituality in their child and raise him to be a worthy person. Nka the basics of spirituality, raise him as a worthy person.

Creative activity is a process of creating qualitatively new spiritual and material values with their subsequent interpretation. The result of such actions, as a rule, is the emergence of previously unknown areas of art, science or technology. The result of creativity cannot be deduced from the conditions of the initial cycle. This is what distinguishes it from the results of the production process, which are always predictable. Creative activity has the main criterion of attractiveness - it is always unique.

Possibilities

The author, in the process of creative research, can achieve a result that he did not expect. This is the main advantage of the free expression of one's ideas by an artist, writer or entertainer. Creative activity, in addition to well-known directions, can be realized in some special way. For example, a world-famous musician, for a number of objective reasons, began to feel a certain limitation in his concert activities and decided to expand his potential. Using personal experience, as well as some technical means, the artist creates a previously unknown musical instrument that revolutionizes the world of music. This is where true creativity lies. History knows many similar examples.

Application value

Human creative activity is a spiritual and material practice focused on the creation of original, previously non-existent cultural values, the discovery of new patterns, as well as methods for transforming world space. The applied significance of the last category is difficult to overestimate. This is, in essence, a cognitive and creative activity that underlies deep practical application in many areas of public life. Its results in most cases are global in nature.

New achievements

Creative artistic activity occupies a special place in a person’s life, when the creator creates values in the category of fine arts, literature, music, and painting. The process of the emergence of new achievements in the field of high art of various genres always causes a storm of positive emotions: people are constantly waiting for premieres in the theater, new films, opening days and many other events - everything that lives in society. The creative artistic activity of masters of various genres often combines their efforts, and as a result, a certain synthetic masterpiece appears that creates a real sensation. Magnificent opera arias can be complemented by a successful libretto; a wonderful literary work is included in an organic combination with uniquely beautiful illustrations.

Versatility

Creative activity, the types of which are infinitely diverse, is fertile ground for the development of talents among broad sections of the population. People of different ages and professions strive to realize their abilities in all spheres of public life, and when this succeeds, a person receives incomparable moral satisfaction. Particularly pleasing is artistic creative activity, the types of which are also numerous. This includes painting, sculpting, singing, participating in theater performances, reading poetry, and ballroom dancing.

In fact, a person’s creative activity can be reflected in any area of his life interests: production and technical, scientific, political, artistic. In addition, there are a number of secondary directions. The creative process can be characterized by two main trends:

the psychology of the individual, the creator of certain spiritual or material values;
philosophical component, revealing the essence of the phenomenon of creation.

Psychology

In different historical periods, the question of the meaning of creativity was posed ambiguously. Ancient philosophy linked the process of creation with specific results, without placing them in the mainstream of eternal existence. In other words, creativity was considered a completely earthly matter, without any special contemplative subtleties. However, along with practicality, in the time of Plato, the prerequisites were created for the recognition of human creative aspirations as a phenomenal phenomenon. There were many supporters of this approach.

Renaissance

The Renaissance cultivated the concept of the phenomenon of creative activity, since during that period the opportunities to create something in a variety of fields were enormous. The philosophy of the Renaissance did not imply creation at the level of craft or housework. Michelangelo's masterpieces or Leonardo da Vinci's engineering projects cannot be called a creative process - they are so grandiose. These were mega-creations of cosmic significance.

Analytical approach

In the modern world, there is a tendency to study the phenomenon of creativity; scientists are trying to understand the psychology of the process; the state of mind of an artist, engineer or writer is being studied while they are busy creating. Often, the results of such analyzes form the basis of doctoral dissertations, because the observations of scientists are also a creative activity. Scientific interest based on psychology always produces unpredictable results, which means that new discoveries can be expected.

Creative activity, if viewed through the prism of philosophy, is interpreted as a personality characteristic formed on the basis of the development of the individual’s special abilities. Provided there is sufficient professional training and a high level of motivation, socio-psychological attitudes are formed that lead the creator to the final result.

Criteria

In relation to creative activity as such, the desire to achieve original solutions will always be realized subject to a clearly defined goal. In some cases, the goal can be replaced by some stimulus - the result will be the same. The creative activity of an individual is determined by the following criteria:

An attitude in accordance with the assigned tasks: scientific, technical, artistic, managerial, research. Harmony of the task with psychological attitudes. There must be a social, socially significant motivation.
The author’s ability to comprehend the design principle of future work. You will also need receptivity to the new, creative initiative, and rejection of stereotypes.
The ability to define the scope of one's own initiative in searching for the boundaries of a task. Ability to rationally sequence creative techniques.
High level of intelligence, spatial thinking and developed imagination. Ability for systemic associations and generalization.

The creative process can be divided into several parts:

the “infancy” stage, when an idea is born, often vague;
the appearance of the outlines of the idea - the general picture is visible;
the next stage is the opportunity to choose decisions that form the program of action;
selection of methods and optimal actions aimed at results;
the emergence of creative excitement, often accompanied by “insights” and emotional uplift;
the final stage, crystallization of the idea, assessment of the level of work done and the effectiveness of the result;

However, the distribution, and especially the planning of actions, is purely conditional, since any creative process is a fairly spontaneous phenomenon with an elusive subconscious logic that can make adjustments along the way. Nevertheless, creativity is a living process, most interesting in its first phase, when the need to create appears. How it will be implemented depends entirely on the professionalism of the individual.

Creative activities of children

A child aged 4-6 years, as a rule, strives for an active lifestyle. Games, walks in nature, communication with peers - all this gives him the opportunity to use his energy and get emotional release. However, the creative potential inherent in children also often requires realization. There are special development programs in preschool institutions. Teachers and methodologists in kindergartens devote several hours every day to the creative activities of their charges. Girls and boys turn into little artists and sculptors, design engineers or creators of fantastic transformers.

Future prospects

Creativity in any form is beneficial for personal development. A child who once drew “a circle of the sun and the sky around” on a piece of paper can become a famous artist in the future, and a first-grader who writes an essay on the topic “How I spent the summer in the village” can become a famous writer. The creative possibilities are endless!

What distinguishes creative activity from any other type of activity?

Since ancient times, workers have been divided into masters and artisans. There are fewer real masters, those who created in their imagination and then embodied it in a specific task. However, artisans are also needed - conscientious executors of the plans of others. I think that a person who works creatively can be not only a book scientist, a researcher of some of the issues involved, but any person who has a spark of God’s gift, talent, the ability to think, imagination, fantasy, dreams and its implementation. Such, in my opinion, is the master Kakim Pogrebnyak. He could not immediately agree to the construction of a temple according to any model (like everywhere else!), He had to imagine, build this structure, mentally “see it”, “feel” it and only then begin work. As a result of severe mental anguish, inspiration came to the master; he saw “his” temple - “a cheerful, sunny temple made of pine boards” with copper, and maybe “golden” bells. Becoming a Master, a human creator, is not easy. It requires talent, inspiration, and a lot of hard work. Not everyone has the strength to do this. But whoever nevertheless decides to achieve the glory of the Master has a great reward - spiritual joy, pleasure, pride and, most importantly, respect from people, their gratitude. What could be the best thing in life!

The impressions and foundations of spirituality a person received in childhood consciously or subconsciously influence her entire life. An example is the life of Taras Grigorievich Shevchenko. This is a legendary man. It seemed that in his poor, forced and orphaned life there was nothing that would help him grow into a strong, creative, highly educated person with a poetic and romantic outlook. But Shevchenko became like this!

I remembered numerous songs that I heard from relatives and fellow villagers on holidays, the heroic stories of grandfather Ivan, even science that was not always clear to the sexton. The main components that helped Shevchenko become what he became were, in childhood, a thirst for knowledge of the world (remember his trip to the iron pillars supporting the sky!), for learning, the desire to recreate his feelings in songs and pictures, and great “inner freedom”. This gave him the opportunity to rebel against violence at an early age and at least somehow change his fate as a “rural vagabond.”
