Changing Prospective - Module 3 flashcards: The Creative Journey
Why is creativity considered a long journey?
Creativity is a long journey because it involves multiple smaller insights, perspective shifts, and overcoming challenges like rejection and rigidity.
What is rigidity in the context of creativity?
Rigidity is the tendency to stick to established ways of thinking, which can block new ideas and creative perspectives.
How can rejection fuel creativity?
Rejection can fuel creativity by encouraging persistence, helping one refine ideas, and motivating alternative approaches.
What are the four tools to overcome rigidity?
The four tools are analogy, re-categorization, combination, and association.
What is an analogy in creativity?
Analogy involves finding similarities between unrelated concepts to generate new ideas.
What does re-categorization mean in creativity?
Re-categorization means changing the category in which we think about something to see it in a new way.
What is combination in the creative process?
Combination involves merging different elements to form new ideas, such as ‘paper towel’ combining ‘paper’ and ‘towel.’
How does association help in creativity?
Association uses unconscious connections and mind wandering to discover new possibilities.
Why is intrinsic motivation important in creativity?
Intrinsic motivation drives persistence and engagement in the creative process, helping individuals continue despite setbacks.
What is creative confidence?
Creative confidence is the belief in one’s ability to produce creative outcomes, essential for persistence in the creative journey.
