The creative potential of the elderly through an example of grand masters
Journal Title: Journal of Education Culture and Society - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This article presents characteristics of the selected aspects of the creative potential in older persons. In addition to specific aptitudes or gifts, cognitive qualities such as intelligence, knowledge and experience have been indicated as the components of creative potential. Furthermore, the importance of a developed lifestyle at earlier stages of life has been highlighted, along with the attitude towards one’s aging, spiritual sensibility and motivation for creative work. An attempt has been made to illustrate distinguishing characteristics of works by outstanding creators in the latter parts of their lives. More often than not, critics cited the following characteristics of creative persons: individualism, inclination towards harkening back to the past, melancholic spirits and thought orientation regarding transcendent reality
