• Not everyone can be considered an artist, but all are spectators of art.

• Art is a product of man’s creativity, imagination, and expression.

Creativity vs. Imagination


CREATIVITY is doing something meaningful with your imagination. It allows us to do something
meaningful with our imaginations.

IMAGINATION is thinking of something - whether it is an object, place, time, etc., that is not present. It
allows us to think of things that are not real or around us at any given time.
