Express your creativity - creativity with food

The Encarta dictionary defines creativity as "the ability to use the imagination to develop new and original ideas or things, especially in an artistic context." Creativity and imagination are largely linked with right brain functions, whereas analytic and rationalized thinking are more associated with the left brain.
As individuals, we may tend to be more inclined to naturally use one side of the brain more than the other, which would define the ability we have to tap into our creative talents. Of course, there are influences in our life's as we grow up, that are responsible for either nurturing or stifling our creativity. For example, most of our schooling tends to focus much more on learning via the left brain, encouraging logical and objective learning, as opposed to holistic experiential learning which is related to the right brain.
Creating can lead to a deep sense of satisfaction and there are many different ways that people can express creativity.
This gallery will show you a way to express your creativity. With the help of various fruits and vegetables you can make beautiful creations.
