Can creativity be taught.

Well, yes and no. Coming up with “creative ideas” is a skill that can improve with time. And one of the basics of concepting new ideas is two mix two familiar ideas to create a third new one. Call it the creative mashup if you will.

And that’s what my family did on Halloween. We participated in a trunk or treat at our church, an event where people decorate their cars and costumes in a parking lot and the neighborhood kids visit. We were Skarif or Bust, a Star Wars visits the tropics theme. We had surfboards and a jet tail on the Millennium Van. I was Princess Lei. (Creative mashup + bad pun.)
