I temi legati alla creatività e al suo funzionamento sono tra i più sfaccettati che la letteratura psicologica accademica abbia recentemente indagato. In primo luogo viene presentato il concetto di creatività e le varie metodologie di analisi legate ad essa. Il secondo tema esaminato riguarda i modelli tradizionali del costrutto creativo mentre successivamente vengono descritti i modelli più recenti. Nel secondo capitolo si fornisce la definizione di persona creativa. Il tentativo è di identificare i tratti che distinguono le persone creative dagli individui non creativi prendendo in considerazione anche le disposizioni associate al pensiero divergente. Viene inoltre discusso il rapporto tra psicopatologia e creatività. La contestualizzazione della creatività nelle diverse tipologie di produzione artistica fornisce un’apertura al terzo capitolo di questo articolo. Viene discusso il tema della creazione nelle varie arti, con particolare attenzione a quelle che sono le discipline più ampiamente riconosciute. Nella sezione finale del terzo capitolo si discute sul recente impiego dell’intelligenza artificiale per generare opere d’arte. Infine, si specula su come la nostra conoscenza del processo creativo si sia evoluta per perfezionare e utilizzare nuove risorse per creare e valutare l’arte.

Abstract
Themes related to creativity and how it operates are some of the most multifaceted that academic psychological literature has recently investigated. Researchers have primarily focused on defining creative production, identifying and categorizing the mental processes that are involved in creative process, figuring out which is its relation with psychopathology and assessing how the recent frequent use of artificial intelligence affects the production of creative artworks. Firstly, the concept of creativity and the various methodologies of analysis of the shortcomings pertaining to creativity are presented. The second subject examined is the traditional models of the creativity construct. Subsequently, more recent models are described. The definition of creative person is given in the second chapter. The purpose of this investigation is to identify the traits that distinguish creative people opposed to non-creative individuals. We also take into account the mental traits of creative individuals and the dispositions associated with divergent thinking. The relationship between psychopathology and creativity is discussed. The contextualization of creativity in different kind of artistic production provides an opening to the third chapter of this paper. The topic of creation across various arts is discussed, with a focus on those that are most widely recognized disciplines. The third chapter’s final section discusses the recent phenomenon of artificial intelligence being used to generate works of art. As a result, the important issues raised by the even more frequent employment of contemporary artificial intelligence in artistic production are presented. Finally, it is explained how our knowledge of the creative process has evolved to meet new demands and make use of new resources for creating and appraising art.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
