Answer to Question 1

The text describes several traits usually found in creative people, including: the ability to generate numerous ideas, many of them quite original, then to analyze the ideas, selecting the most promising ones to develop; the instinct to redefine problems and seek connections between seemingly unrelated ideas; tendency to have a playful side, but also the capability of long periods of intense, concentrated work; an appetite for taking risks, remaining open to experience, and not feeling restricted by existing knowledge or conventional solutions. Students should be specific in detailing how the person fits in the commonly associated traits and discuss the art form that is a result of his or her creativity.

Answer to Question 2

The text notes six social functions of art: create places for some human purpose; create extraordinary versions of ordinary objects; record and commemorate; give tangible form to the unknown; give tangible form to feelings and ideas; refresh our vision and help us see the world in new ways. Students should be specific in their explanations of each artwork and how it illustrates the particular function or purpose.
