Synthesis, elaboration, originality, redefinition, inventiveness or fluidity, are some of the terms that creativity has associated and that allow to put into operation divergent thinking, making possible through creative learning acquire knowledge through mechanisms away from pure logic. Although the conception of creativity has been universalized, the processes generated from art, encourage a natural development of creative thinking, being an ideal channel to develop creativity in educational contexts.
