Question

Explain the following concept in 25 to 30 words:

Illumination

Answer in Brief

Solution

Creativity is characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Scientists, musicians, poets, fashion designers, interior decorators, etc. always think in a creative way.

Illumination is the third stage of Creative thinking. After incubation, suddenly, like a flash of light, the correct solution appears in front of the mind's eye and the person experiences a rush of excitement. All the bits and pieces of ideas which appeared to be unrelated earlier fall into place. The solution that appears is nearly next to perfect. A person experiences an emotional reaction of joy, knowing that he /she has found a new idea, a solution.
