    Are you serious?

    Intentionality is integral to communication. Creative art is a subset of communication.

          I don’t think all creativity requires intentionality. Some forms of creativity are the accumulation of unintentional outcomes, like when someone sets out to copy a thing, but due to mistakes or other factors outside their control end up with something unique to what they were going for.

                The creative process necessarily involves abandoning bad ideas and refining to something more intentional

                  Exactly. That is literally the only difference between “creative” and “non-creative” people.

                    But you can still be creative if you keep every outcome, it would be very hard to prove creativity if you discard everything. The one could argue you’re creative the moment you select something.
