“Creativity is intelligence having fun…”
-Albert Einstein
…And on that note, the World Creativity Day and Innovation Week will kick start on April 15. Ever since 2002, the event aims to create a global platform, where people can create, share new ideas; however big or small they may be. Celebrated across 46 countries, the event not only aims to raise awareness but also tries to find new solutions, battle obstacles and build a new future. Starting on April 15, which is also Italian polymath Leonardo Da Vinci’s birthday, the World Creativity Day got extended to a week until April 21.
There are many ways to celebrate this day. Yes, be creative about celebrating this day too; you need not be a genius like Da Vinci for this! However, what you need is the motivation to think out of the box. And Voila, You have it!
I personally choose to make things on my own and love to look up for projects that would help me create something useful. Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects are my personal favourite, for it awakens the artist in hibernation. It is a method of creating or repairing something without taking help from an expert. Not only does it bring out your creative side, but also gives you pointers on how you can make something new out of the things you already have. It need not be only about arts and crafts. You can also DIY about anything related to fashion, home décor or even food!
Here is a list of five Indian bloggers, who would not just inspire you to do it yourself, but would also help you explore your creative side:
Arvind Gupta:
Arvind Gupta is an Indian toy inventor, who creates simple toys out of trash. He applies science and illustrates a design that can be easily implemented by the kids. Being a thorough expert in science teaching, he has authored many books in different languages, including Little Toys, Amazing Activities, Science from Scrap, and Science Skills & Thrills: The Best of Arvind Gupta.
An IIT- Kanpur alumnus, Gupta participated in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Programme (HSTP) in Madhya Pradesh in 1978, where he developed the idea of creating simple toys and educational experiments using locally available materials and things that are usually thrown as trash. His insights and ideas simple fascinated the children and this made him a popular science evangelist. He takes inspiration from a number of people, including Gautama Buddha, George Washington Carver and his mother.
