For this activity, please read Chapter Four, “The Work of Creativity” from Csikszentmihalyi’s book Creativity. You’ll quickly see that much of what he writes is at odds with the popular, romanticized view of creativity as easy, superficial play.
After you have read and thought about the chapter, click Activity 11 The Work of Creativity. Within this topic, click “Create Thread.” Enter the subject line of your choice. It should be something that calls attention to the topic(s) you will be writing about in your post. In one detailed post, describe one or more insights into the creative process this chapter gives you. Identify a phase of the creative process where you feel the most need to devote more time or grow in your strategies. As with earlier activities, keep it casual, but put some support behind your discussion.
