Tēnā Koe - Welcome (aka 'there you are' in Maori)
Fun to start with a new challenge! On the list can be written the language culture of the Maori. I'm really looking forward reading en learning about this culture.
But for now we go back to the subject of the Challenge. Its all about creativity.
Today I went on the Youtube and watch some of my favorite channels: +www.ted.com. I ran in to a lot of speeches about creativity. They all are unique but they also got a lot in common. The notes I took during the videos, is what I'm sharing and I will also give you the link to the video.
The first video | You're more creative than you think you are by +John Paul Caponigro
We hear and we forget, we see and we remember, we do and we know.
Free association
1 Don't judge
2 Don't censor
3 Set a high quota
4 Move on when you reach saturation
5 Analyze after
Draw/Sketch the scenario or pattern which you see in your mind, so you can alert your brain and mind to keep an eye out in reality during the day.
- Break the rules
- Learn to fail
Fail often! The only real failure is not learning from failure!
Play!
A nice book to read: Brainrules
The second video | The art of creativity by +Taika Waititi
Look through the lense of a child
It's about perspective
It's about obsession
It's about failure
What you see in this video is a lot of what I already recognize now from other videos, books or text. It's about free associative, connect and combine, quantity, perspective, fail as much as you can.
The third video | Creativity as a life skill by +Gerard Puccio
"To live is to have problems and to solve problems is to grow creatively" +J.P. Guilford
Evolution teaches us conformity
Conformity --> Comfort --> Don't think, just follow --> No growth
Creativity --> Uncomfort --> Think, and lead --> Grow, learn and adapt
But evolution also teaches us creativity!
We are born to be creative
Divergent thinking --> The creation of variation
Convergent thinking --> The selective retention of those novel creations which enhance the ability to survive
Contextual focus is deliberate manage your thinking.
And again of course, why not.
- suspend your judgement
- go for quantity
To get the best idea, have and learn to create many ideas!
For how we know it, education is about finding the one right answer. Conformation. The interesting part is, life itself is everything BUT one right answer.
The fourth movie | Creativity requires time by +simplybest007
In the movie below there's a short explanation about the factor 'time' in the context of creativity. Watch it, enjoy it and learn ;)
