Sally HaririVery easy and simple way to differentiate between language and creativity. It showed how creativity can be revealed through words and arts. -
Maryam NaderiI found it a useful course because the explanation about creativity and language was a very interesting topic. Language is used in daily life and we use language everywhere. This course had interesting pictures for analysis and in my opinion, someone who looks at the pictures at a glance may not pay attention to the writings, but if he sees it carefully, he will understand the meaning of the picture.
