KEY CREATIVITY CONCEPTS AND HUMANS
THE 4Ps of CREATIVITY
Mel Rhodes
In 1961, Mel Rhodes published a paper called An Analysis of Creativity. In this seminal work, he developed the 4 P systems map of what I like to think of as a Creative ecosystem. This model proposes that we find creativity at the intersection of People (the creative person) using a Process (a way of thinking) to create a Product in an environment (Press/Place). Research in Creativity continues to explore it along these 4 main areas. Experts tend to focus along one area. What area are you most interested in? |
