Week of 9/10 lecture summary on creativity

The question was asked what does a person do when she is being creative/original that distinguishes them from one who is mediocre?


We made a web chart and branched off different ideas from the word creativity. I thought this was a creative way of taking notes from how we normally take down notes. Some ideas that branched off from the word creativity were


  • actually attempts ideas adapt
  • puts whole self into it
  • see beyond, flexibility, perceptive
  • creative action
  • fluency 
  • curiosity,questioning attitude, inquisitive nature
  • awareness 

Then we talked about distractions...specific creative killers
  • physical-support,safety
  • cultural- taboos,imitate
  • intellectual-mechanical state of mind,lack of background knowedge
  • expressive- inflexibility, lack of information
  • emotional-fear,comfort
  • environment-security, support
why? Things like facebook, the web, and t.v. are a big distractions for me, it happens to me everyday but I feel that I have grown and have not let those things distract me as much as they use to.


There are possible solutions to help these distractions
understand the problem,devise a plan, carry out the plan, revise carry out the an and examine, revise, present


after you realize the problem, you can move towards working out a solution or outcome.


Some methods I will consider when devising a direction for my solution/outcome are
  • Imagine
  • classify
  • relax
  • check
  • list
  • transform
  • test
  • commit
  • adapt
  • repeat
