VOCABULARY
Creativity- is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions.
Innovative thinking- is thinking that goes beyond what you can see. It is imaginative. It is the ability to look beyond the obvious. It is creative and it is different. An innovative thinker can look at something ordinary and see the extraordinary.
Inspiration-the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
Concept-a plan or intention.
Sgraffito- by applying to an unfired ceramic body two successive layers of contrasting slip, and then in either case scratching so as to reveal parts of the underlying layer.
Slip Trailing-the act of decorating an object with a poured stream of slip.
