According to Bloom’s Taxonomy, the highest level of learning is achieved when we can take what we’ve been told, understand it thoroughly, apply it with skill, break it down into its components in order to objectively evaluate each aspect, and then reconstruct new forms and ideas from the diverse elements of the old to create new solutions and share deeper aspects of understanding.
This is what creativity is all about.

Creativity. Self-expression. New and better solutions. Greater still–new and deeper understandings of God and His creation.
These are the trademarks of true mastery, and they show themselves in a myriad of marvelous ways that are as unique as each one of us, because we, too, are the works of a Creative Master!
