On being creative On: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ResTHKVxf4&feature=youtu.be Lets see how to be in a moment of creativity! The first stage is when you dynamically analyze the problem and search any information that could be important. The idea is to gather as much as data as you can, even if its slightly related or coherent.
Be receptive to everything! This is the first step to create a new idea. Is very usual to get frustrated because your rational and analytic mind, while reaching for a solution, end up on finding the limit of abilities. DONT WORRY! This is important for you to find the right connections and solve your problem. Most of the people that had actually done something creative in their life would talk about long hours of anxiety and frustration until something does CLIC and BOOM! You give a huge step forward. Believe it or not. A frustration period can make you better, the real clue is not to quit the process. Once you have meditated about all relevant pieces and pushed you rational mind to its limit, you can slowly cook the problem in your mind. At this point you should digest everything youd gathered. Do not underestimate your unconsciousness, right now its your best friend, it will remain working backwards and suddenly youll get the hunch. This type of knowledge its called: Intuition. When your mind is in blank and the invention of your unconsciousness is running free, you are due to daydream and look for creativity. Here is when an idea pops into your head while doing some other activity like brushing your teeth, cooking or watching a movie. Do not over-think the problem, otherwise youd get stuck in frustration. Try to have moments when you can dream while youre awake. Go and do whatever you like to do! After all and with a bit of luck, youll be guide to the illumination stage when suddenly you know the answer. This is the time for the eureka screaming. Theres nothing you can do to force the illumination, youll get the insight and POOF! Regardless of the enlightening, its not a creative act yet. The final stage is when you take the idea and transform it into action. Making your idea something real, is better than just having a thought; your idea becomes useful for you and your public. Dont keep your idea in the desk. Go and make the idea a social event! Any stage model of a creative process makes only an approximation to a process that is truly fluid and can lead you to many routes.
Moreover, in the course of a complex creation the process is a long series of acts with multiples and successive preparations, frustrations, incubations, daydreams, illuminations and translations to social actions.
1. Gather in groups. 2. Pick a pen and sheets. 3. Wait for further instructions.
1. Pick an object of the bag and analyze it. 2. Gather the most of ideas you can about the object use brainstorms, mind maps, diagrams or what you prefer. 3. Establish every connection you can with the words you wrote to turn the object into something new. 4. Introduce us your new product!
You have to be with the work and the work has to be with you. It absorbs you totally and you absorb it totally.
