Studies of creativity originate in ancient philosophy, where Aristotle in "Metaphysics" has determined that experience is "Emperia", it is associated with activity, activity is "praxis", "Froneseis" - prudence, and creativity in the philosopher appears as a philosopher "Techne", the art or skill through which "Evdomonia" occurs, that is, self-realization of a person that is possible through the realization of one's own abilities [2]. Creativity is often considered in the context of activity, as a result of which a person creates qualitatively new material and spiritual values, as a person's ability to create a new socio-cultural space. Man, through activity, transforms the world, adapts the environment to their needs, forms a culture. As a result of the activity, the creative potential of a person is realized.

Creativity as a separate activity is characterized by certain features, the presence of a problematic situation, original and new approaches to its solution, creativity, social significance, uniqueness of the process of activity itself and the novelty of the results. The abilities and properties of the individual are the source of creativity, their interaction is the driving force of the creative process. Activities “Only then can scientific philosophical comprehensive when it - activity - is regarded as amateur activity” [7, p. 109].

Karpenko, creative potential is "needs, value orientations, personality quality, inclinations, hidden structured resources, reserves, creative impulses, internal energy, productive forces, needs of knowing oneself and others" [4, p. 192].
