Creativity (Talk by Dean)

So, last 3 weeks ago, our dean, Harold Thwaites visited us during our Visual Research and Communications class to give a talk about 'Creativity'. He says that creativity comes from everything and everywhere. It is the ability to imagine or invent something new. These are some of the points that he gave.

How to embrace it?: Passion + Knowledge & Experience + Method

[Passion: Desire to Create, Challenging Spirit, Curiosity, Hard Work]

[Knowledge & Experience: Define Objective, Collect, Organize, Place, Ideation, Take a Break, Communal Force, Setup the Flow, No Noise & Stress, Music, Tools]

[Method: Techniques, Free Writing, Mind-Mapping, Sketching, Merging Ideas, Thinking Opposites, Seeking Inspiration]

Mind you, our dean is one weird guy. Then again, aren't all creative minds are?
