Definition of Creativity

My homework assignment for tonight...I've been thinking about it all day...watching my students and trying to formulate some type of definition that makes sense...I don't think it's something you necessarily "have" or "don't have" but I do believe it is something that comes easier to some.  Hmmmmmmmmm

Creativity is the innate potential an individual possesses to create something that was not in existence before.  It is the art of creation, the knack for brainstorming, the ability to manipulate language eloquently, the capacity to conduct color and sound, the capability of using your body for expression, and the gift to make a part of yourself eternal.
