The readings for this week in the Psychology of Creativity course I'm taking this term were about 'problem finding in art'- about that part of the creative process that people make if they are discovery oriented. The concept is that, if given the assignment to make something, some people will use preexisting models and work toward goals that are already defined and known. Others have less of a set idea of outcome and are willing to engage in problem finding, problem formulation, problem solution and problem evaluation as they create their artifact.
Key words/ideas I picked up are:
- "Formulation of a problem is often more essential than its solution" - Einstein
- Deeper questioning, discovery, and taking on new perspectives is the foundation for creative work.
- Personally felt intentions
- Originality
- Creative Research = finding problems that can be solved
