Creativity comes from the impetus to find a "different way". Let's think of the definition of creativity. There are many definitions and I'm going to use this one for this answer. Creativity is expressed as the act of having done something in a way that the audience has not seen before or will not hear of elsewhere. Doesn't need to be new to the world, just needs to be new to your audience. Creativity is the "different way". A creative person is then someone who does this with some regularity. An artist who copies the works of the masters is involved in the creative arts, but is not creative under our "different way" definition. While an artist who comes-up with original works is certainly creative. What drives him to be creative is the the need to be different, to stand out from the crowd.
