Abstract
From the significant number of shadowed geniuses and even the everyday life experience, it emerges that creativity does not ensure success. On the contrary, sometimes being creative can cause troubles and sorrow. A creative, innovative idea may be intentionally ignored, disregarded, or stolen. Then, why, nowadays, is the importance of creativity emphasized? Creative thinking is deemed to be an essential skill in contemporary society, and special attention is posed in creativity teaching-learning. Indeed, innovation requires innovators, and they can thrive in environments encouraging intellectual inquiry and critical and creative thinking. To develop a new business, one needs a new vision and a look beyond the mainstream horizon. However, how does one get a vision? For this purpose, creativity education and deep knowledge are necessary. This chapter discusses the importance of arts and creative education, including machine education to creativity.
