Creativity is the ability to form novel and valuable ideas or works using the imagination.
Products of creativity may be intangible (e.g., an idea, a scientific theory, a literary work, a musical composition, or a joke) or a physical object (e.g., an invention, a dish or meal, an item of jewelry, a costume, or a painting).
