Maslow, E. FROMM, and R. May on the nature of creativity and discusses the way in which these tenets provide a framework to facilitate creative expression. Maslow stresses a high level of mental health as a prerequisite for the ability to create, and believes it is man's innate predisposition to seek needs at a higher level, including the need to create, after his basic needs are met. FROMM believes that product creativity is formed by factors such as talent, study, practice, and social/economic conditions, whereas attitude creativity is the ability to see, be aware, and respond. May considers creativity to be an enlargement of human consciousness, and believes that creativity involves an encounter in which a person is absorbed in the act. He divides creativity into talent and true creativity. All 3 theorists believe every mentally healthy person is capable of experiencing creativity. It is suggested that to facilitate creativity, a student must be free of lower level needs and in a free, noncritical environment. Suggestions for teachers to follow in facilitating creativity are given.}, language = {en} }
