Curiosity, Imagination, Creativity, and Play

What do I know about these 4 elements?
     I know that these four elements co-exist in many ways. They each support each other in some way. Curiosity inspires imagination, and in the same way, imagination inspires curiosity; these things inspire creativity, which can in turn inspire play, but it does not have to be necessarily in that order. Curiosity requires one to ask questions. One can't be narrow minded and take everything as final; you must be willing to be confused and seek understanding. Imagination allows you to take different perspectives, and think beyond the boundaries you are given. Creativity is thinking of new innovative ways to approach, or do, something. Creativity does not always have to be something big, or outlandish, it can be finding a new way to do something practical as well. Finally, play is when you put the results of your curiosity, imagination, or creativity to work. In play you mess around with different things as a result of the previous three elements, or even as a means to inspire those three elements. Everyone exercises these four things, or is capable of exercising these four things, though some people may say that everyone is not creative, or that creativity is "hard." These elements make life more interesting. I t makes it less dull, and less redundant, and rather more exciting and new!
     In terms of these four things, I'd like to know how to best inspire these things in a classroom. How do you inspire someone who is content with accepting everything you say to be curious and ask questions? How do you inspire someone who is narrow minded to think outside the box and use their imagination to see something different? How do you inspire someone who thinks creativity is "hard" to at least try and maybe surprise themself? How do I inspire these elements in myself? How can tapping into my inner creativity maybe encourage someone else's?
     After watching the videos, they pretty much reinforced how I felt about curiosity, imagination, creativity, and play. Previously I said one must be willing to be confused; however I must quote Sir Ken Robinson in saying "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." As he said, creativity is all about taking a chance, so in order to take a chance you must be willing to be wrong. I thought that this idea of creativity was very insightful and made a lot of sense. The idea that we are taught out of creativity was also a very interesting way of looking at it. We get so used to accepting what our teachers of professors say, that we chose not to question, or dare to go against what is said, and in this sense, we are stifling our creativity. I also learned that "play," based on Stuart Brown's research, isn't just about having fun, it doesn't only serve to make us happy, but rather can also increase intelligence and aid development. There are different forms of play like body play, rough and tumble play, imaginative play, spectator play, ritual play, etc. I also learned that curiosity and self-exploration are all a part of play, and that play is very important, and actually does a lot for the brain. All the videos I watched were very insightful and even taught me things that I had not known before, and helped me to look at these elements in a more educated perspective.
