Summary

Introduction

Sensitivity can be defined as to be sensitive, susceptible and delicate. It is not possible without the action of recognition. The creativity, known as an ability which is not gained or learned afterwards, is only possible with proper conditions and quality art or design education and training. Such dependence was expressed by Robinson (2008) as: “Cultural conditions may trigger or kill creativity. Creative thoughts do not reside in an empty space. We have to climb over the shoulders of others to see further. Such a case is valid in all areas including, science, technology, sports, fashion, music, design, and etc. Human intelligence is a deep and comprehensive creator” (p.19)
