A Model for a Grand Theory: Creativity in Art.
McWhinnie, Harold J.
This paper presents a collection of thoughts and observations about a grand theory of creativity in the arts. The theory elaborated in the paper is based upon the following five major bodies of psychological knowledge and research: (1) hemisphere differences and cerebral lateralization; (2) chemical balance in the brain and bipolar factors; (3) spatial intelligence and individual patterns; (4) gender related differences; and (5) Myers Briggs Type Indicator, the Jungian mode. The paper states that each of these five major categories provides various grids or lenses through which the creative artist and individual can and ought to be viewed. Contains 10 references.
