7 Steps in Creative Process • Be Prepared • Think Distinctively Creative / Critical Thinking • Yes, And… • No Blocking • More • #$@#%&#$ (wild ideas) • Critical Thinking
Be Prepared • Know what you are talking about • Have all materials handy before you begin • Stick to the topic!
Think DistinctivelyCreative / Critical Thinking • Brainstorming is messy! • Words have many meanings, and they should all be explored. • Country = International • Country = Western Square Dance
Yes, and… • It is impossible to destroy with affirmations or positive thoughts • Don’t act on emotional abuse with comments like “That’s not a good idea” • Begin each response with “Yes, and…” • Add to, modify, and improve
No Blocking! • If everyone accepts the idea, it is probably not good enough! • Good enough – isn’t • Blocking bowl • No wimping
MORE!! • More than what? • More than we have • Fill the walls!! • Its easier to pare down a large list than to puff up a minimal one
?@%$&($!(loose translation: Wild Ideas!) • There is no such word as “too” • Go for the most expensive, the most outrageous, the most insane ideas possible! • Crazy ideas generate good ones • What has never been done? • do it
Critical Thinking • Cherokee Point of View • Alter your direction • Pick • Just one • Package • Label pages with topic • Promote • Great ideas begin to grow themselves • Begin to pare down the list to the best ideas
Most Importantly! • Have fun!! • This process should be enjoyable, not stressful!
Warm Up: Your group will brainstorm for 5 minutes to find unique uses for a common item.
List as many uses as you can until time is called. Then you will select the best five to share.
Appoint a Recorder to write down all ideas on the whiteboard.
Step 1 What are you talking about? Insure that each group member completely understands the task and the items to be included.
Step 2 Do you have the materials and assignments? Facilitator Keeps on task Recorder Writes every idea
Step 3 Fill your paper (or board)!! The Recorder will fill your section of the board. ALL ideas should be accepted as possible!
Step 4 • Remember the Rules! • Be positive! • Yes, and… (build on ideas) • No Blocking • Speak Up! • Anything is possible! • Be wild & original!
Step 5 Don’t Stop! When you think you have enough...you don’t. Keep going!
Step 6 Cherokee Point of View You may be asked to switch seats with group members during the process.
Step 7 Time’s Up! Once time is called, groups will have 3 minutes to finalize your idea
