1. Origins of Creativity:

• Creativity is a captivating and complex human trait that has intrigued philosophers, scientists, artists, and thinkers throughout history.
• Its roots lie in the Latin words ‘creare’ (to create) and ‘facere’ (to make).
• Over time, the concept of creativity evolved, and it began to be applied to human endeavors, including poetry and art.
• Edward O. Wilson, a biologist, suggests that creativity began over 100,000 years ago in the Paleolithic age and is deeply intertwined with language, storytelling, and art.

• The Virtual Creative Factory (VCF) is a hub of artistic innovation where cutting-edge technology meets creative expression.
